Our Verdict:

The HP LaserJet MFP M436n is a monochrome multifunction printer with the ability to print, copy and scan up to A3. It would work well in a small office where the reliable nature of the printer and the streamlined operations will improve workplace efficiency. Print quality is good, while features such as good paper capacity, duplex printing, remote monitoring and high yield toners will improve the efficiency of the office. However, the printer is limited in what it can achieve and if colour printing or a fax function is required it may be necessary to purchase additional devices. Additionally, if your office carries out a lot of work on mobile devices printing can be awkward as there is no Wi-Fi connection.
