Customer Reviews

No problems so far
I've only had it 2 days but I sent a fax and the speed seemed good to me, way faster that the Brother Fax machine I had. I made a copy of a detailed set of instructions and the copy came out just as good as the original, (this was all on the default settings, I changed nothing). The answering machine is working fine and the messages are clear. Setting the machine up was easy enough, everything you need is in the box. I have not "recieved" a fax yet to rate that but if it works as good as the rest has so far I'm sure it will be fine. The only thing I dont care for is the fact that there is no recieving paper tray. So you'll need a little room in front of the machine or your fax /copies will end up on the floor. We had the 1040 model at work and when you answer the phone there is a short delay from the time you pick up the reciever to when you can actually hear the person on the other line, I have not noticed any of that with this machine. So far I'm perfectly happy with this machine. Not counting the paper tray issue.

Great features, great price, horrible speakerphone
This machine is great looking, compact, and seems to be the perfect combination fax/answering machine/speakerphone. One major problem: The phone is well below average in sound quality, and the speaker is absolutely terrible. The tiny, poorly made speaker is placed in the back left side of the unit and and is totaly inaudible at loud volumes due to distortion. The fax is great, the print quality is great, the speed is great, but you have to lower the volume and lean over with your head against the speaker to hear messages. This problem also renders the speakerphone useless. I returned this unit twice thinking it was defective, but spoke to HP and was told that is just the way this unit works. Buy the Panasonic KX-FHD351 if you need a great sounding unit. The only problem with the Panasonic is that it doesn't come in black, but is a much better phone/answering/speakerphone.

I have spent hours faxing over the past year
I was looking for reviews of fax machines on amazon and came accross the 1050 I am replacing. As others have stated the answering component is unusable as the messages cannot be understood (the quality is similar to my childrens toys that record a phrase and play it back--very tinny and garbled). I have spent many wasted hours faxing as the machine frequently refuses to load more than a single sheet at a time when I load a document for scanning.This has often led to having to send a couple of sheets, then redial (at additional expense) and send one or two more. Ditto for the paper loading mechanism for printing. The pages frequently hang up, or the rollers attempt to pull through multiple sheets or none at all. This has often led to having to send a couple of sheets, then redial and send one or two more. Recently after 45 minutes of trying I was able to send 8 pages! It seems the things I want to fax and recieve are frequently last minute items. I only hope my children have not heard the steady streams of profanity associated with using this machine, I say this only partly in jest. I have kept using the HP 1050 because I'm cheap, and because it seems I must be paying a penance for a prior sin.
The construction is flimsy, the guide to the paper loader fell off the first month as I was loading paper, feel free to contact me for duct tape instructions for holding it on.
The only positive is that if you have a worst enemy, it would make a fine gift.
