- PROS
Very low running costs. Great print quality. Small footprint. Decent volume rating.
- CONS
Non-duplexing print engine. Ink bottles not keyed to corresponding onboard tanks. Lacks automatic document feeder.
- BOTTOM LINE
The HP Smart Tank Plus 551 bulk-ink AIO prints well and at very low running costs, though its lacks notable productivity and convenience features, compared with its competitors.

HP’s Smart Tank Plus 551 Wireless All-in-One ($399.99) is a bulk-ink multifunction printer that, instead of cartridges, gets its ink from reservoirs you fill from bottles. Like the Editors’ Choice Canon Pixma G6020 MegaTank All-in-One, it’s designed for home-based offices, but it falls behind its competitor in capacity, volume ratings, and features. Even so, it prints well and very inexpensively, making it a decent alternative to our current favorite bulk-ink AIO.
