Pros:

Good feature set for the price. ADF and fax. 3.3-inch LCD. 2-year warranty.
Front-loading ink chamber. Decent print quality for low cost. iOS app allows scanning to portable device.

Cons:

Sub-par photos and especially graphics.
Terrible Mac OS X software with no way to use Preview or Image Capture. USB or Ethernet connection requires long cables since ports are actually inside the unit. Can’t scan from printer to Mac over wireless (USB only).
