⚖️ Expert Verdict

If you are torn between these İnkjets, the real question is how much you value your time and frustration levels. The Canon PIXMA TS3350 is a bare-bones entry-level device that uses a two-cartridge system—meaning if one color runs out, you’re often replacing the whole tri-color block. The Brother MFC-J1010DW, however, is a significantly more 'adult' printer. It offers individual ink cartridges, faster speeds, and a vital Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) for scanning multi-page documents. While the Canon is tempting for its rock-bottom price, the Brother is the undisputed winner for anyone who needs a reliable home-office tool rather than just a printer that sits in a cupboard most of the year.

What Owners Are Saying?

Canon PIXMA TS3350

Molly
"Cheap as chips at Curry's for my uni work. Does the job for basic essays."

Edward
"The ink cost is a proper joke. Spent more on cartridges than the printer in two months. Avoid if you print more than once a week—not frugal at all."

Theodore
"Wi-Fi setup was a right faff on my Mac."

Brother MFC-J1010DW

Toby
"Smallest footprint I could find with a proper ADF. Perfect for my studio where desk space is right tight. Sorted."

Florence
"Frugal choice for high-res scanning. Much more reliable than the HP stuff I used to have."

Arthur B.
"Reliable as anything."
