Strengths: afforadable, versatile, compact, user friendly
Weakness: a little slow, comes with small toner cartridges
Wow! First of all, I couldn't believe that I found an all-in-one color laser printer that includes fax for under $500! That was great! It even works good! The print quality is excellent. It's a little slow, but it's worth the wait. It's fairly compact for what it does, which is also nice. It was disappointing that it came with small toner cartridges, but for the price, it was not bad. I would...
Strengths: Network was easy to set up. Scan to network and to email work flawlessly. The print quality is very good. Optional 2nd paper tray for expansion.
Weakness: No Auto-Duplex, copy function a bit slow compare to other machines. If you're on the fax line, the copy and scan function is not readily available.
Overall it does what it claims to do AND Vista compatible. Works well with Ethernet and USB. Black and white printing warm-up is fast. Color is a little slow but comparable to others in its class. Best part is it's quieter than HP counterparts
Strengths: 1. Inexpensive color laser, all-in-one. 2. Vista-capable. 3. Setup is easy. 4. Network capable.
Weakness: 1. Sometimes able to detect burning plastic smell. 2. Documentation is not perfect. 4 pagers per minute for color is slow, but competitive with similiar color laser, all-in-ones.
Overall this is a very nice printer, and an excellent value. Printer, scanner, copier, and FAX all work on my Vista system, without issue. I have no significant issue or problems. Note, however: (a) Unit can have a strong burning plastic smell; my unit seems fine, but one in the store had a strong odor after printing, apparently from the temperatures used on the small toner drums. Doesn't pose a...
Strengths: Great B&W Laser copies/printing, great fax & scanner
Weakness: No scalable lightness/darkness copy feature, average to poor color copies.
I bought this item to replace a scanner, b&w laser printer, and copier, & obviously to save space, and to also have color copying capability. 1. Color copies are just okay, would not use it for photo type printing or any "high quality" color printing needs. 2. B&W copies & printing are great! 3. Toner/machine smells like petrochemicals (coming from toner/use of toner/heating of toner) and I can...
Strengths: None.
Weakness: Many.
There are annoying things like, you put in a fax number and hit fax and then the unit says, "warming up" and then erases the number and you get to type it in the number again. There are other annoyances, but I won't list them. Check out the other reviews. The most irritating thing is Samsung service. I started to have black blobs down the side of my color prints. Tech support had me try some...
Strengths: I wouldn't know, as it has never worked.
Weakness: Does not fax, print, or copy. Other than that, it's great!
I only got about 500 total pages through this machine when all functions quit working. Samsung sent me a drive belt which I installed. No help. They sent out a technician with the same part. I showed him how to install it. No help. They sent out a "refurbished" unit, which has a different problem but still doesn't work. Samsung customer service says they can't send me a new machine becasue thye...
Strengths: Clear blank & white print
Weakness: Unable to use specialty paper
I bought this All-in-one printer to help run my small business. I am unable to print business cards because the formatted business card paper will not feed through the machine properly. Color laser photo paper will not feed through the machine - therefore I can not print brochures for my business. The flatbed copy/scanner feature does not work because the scanner "drags" thereby giving me a copy...
Strengths: Only strength is that it does network scanning to pdf.
Weakness: Just about everything else.
We purchased this printer and within the 1st 30 days of use, it began acting up. We got Samsung involved. What a nightmare. They sent us all kinds of parts with which we had to install. Still no good so they sent us a refurbished printer. Guess what, that only worked less than 30 days as well. Samsung then ceased to be cooperative with getting this thing right. By then we were outside of our...
Strengths: Outstanding price, lots of features, small size, light weight, easy setup, good print/scan quality
Weakness: slow(ish), consumables medium-expensive, smells sometimes
I bought this All-in-one for $300 delivered from a major on-line office supply store after using several coupons. The main selling feature which separates the Samsung from most other All-in-One's is it's small size and light weight. I use the machine in a home office and I don't have a lot of room and I cannot deal with the typical 75lb monster. Setup was a no-brainer. I just plugged in and it...
THE GOOD: Network-ready color laser printer; USB port for storage devices and cameras; consistently good print and scan quality; well-organized control panel; built-in ADF. THE BAD: No duplex option; slow prints and scans; ships with low-capacity starter toner cartridges. THE BOTTOM LINE: The Samsung CLX-3160FN isnt the best or fastest multifunction printer, but it offers a good value for small...

Samsung CLX-3160FN
Strengths: Fast Printer, Great home office/small business All-in-One. Direct to USB scanning
Weakness: DPI isn't the best
I've been using this All-In-One for about a month now and it has served all my needs. The printing is fast and the color quality is pretty good. The one downside is the quality of the black & white isn't as sharp as my personal laser printers (Samsung ML-2510 & Brother HL-2140). I really like the scan to USB flash drive feature, as it makes it easy to do quick scanning.
