HP Tango X review

Can a printer look good enough to reside in your living room? The Tango X does. With its fabric cover, it looks somewhat like a large, fabric-covered coffee-table book. But looks aren't everything -- it also prints quite well and is incredibly easy to...

Very good looking ; Easy to set up ; No distracting buttons ; Alexa, Google, and Cortana integration ; Free photo printing with HP's Instant Ink program

No USB or Ethernet (Wi-Fi only) ; Scan/copy functions require smartphone ; No duplex printing

HP’s Tango and Tango X are very targeted print solutions. They are great for someone with limited print needs, who mostly print photos and PDF documents of short length from their smart device, or any type of document from a Windows or Mac using the...

HP Tango X Review

HP's Tango X "smart printer," the first we've tested with voice activation and smart home features, is all about printing from mobile devices. It's not perfect, but given its unique free-snapshot printing angle, it will be a tough act for future models...

HP Tango X: Lab Tested - RTINGS.com

The HP Tango X printer is disappointing for family use. It doesn't print many pages before its cartridges run out of ink, meaning you'll be spending a lot of money to replace them often if you print a lot. Also, since it's a printer-only unit, it...

Comes with a nice linen cover, feels well-built

Can't automatically print double-sided, disappointing color accuracy, low page yield and high cost-per-print, prints documents slowly

HP Tango X review

The HP Tango X is compact, prints quickly and at a high quality, but it does have its shortcomings.

High quality prints ; Fast print speeds ; Great design

No flatbed scanner ; No control panel ; Smartphone app issues

The HP Tango X might be compact, quick and high-quality, but the smartphone features need more attention.

HP Tango X Review: A Convenient (but Disappointing) Wireless Printer

The HP Tango X, while designed for people whose online lives revolve around the cloud and a smartphone, may be a good fit only for those looking solely for a printer. Print speeds from a PC are fast, and print quality is very high. Although print costs...

High print quality ; Quick graphics and photo printing ; Text printing is faster than average ; Compact, stylish design

No flatbed scanner ; No control panel for stand-alone operation ; Copy/scan quality from smartphone app is poor ; Copying is slow

The small wireless HP Tango X prints quickly and delivers high print quality, but the smartphone copy and scan functions leave much to be desired.

The HP Tango X writes the book on bookshelf printers

Printer design has been stuck in the '90s. This mobile-first printer aims to change that.

HP Tango X printer review

(Rating Hidden)

Claimed to be the 'world's first smart home printer', the HP Tango X is essentially a wireless printer that looks reasonably stylish and is compatible with voice-control systems, such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Does that add up to a printer...
