⚖️ Expert Verdict

If you're looking at these two, you're officially done with the cartridge scam. The ET-1810 is a print-only specialist—compact, efficient, and perfect if you already have a scanning solution. But for a proper home office, the ET-2810 is the sorted choice. It adds a flatbed scanner and copier for a few extra quid, making it a much more versatile 3-in-1. From an ROI perspective, unless you're strictly limited by desk space in a tiny London flat, the ET-2810's added utility for administrative tasks makes it the clear winner for most users.
