Our Verdict

Canon imageCLASS MF743Cdw

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw

The Canon imageCLASS MF743Cdw is better than the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw for most uses. The Canon prints much faster, and its toner cartridges last longer, so it requires less maintenance. It also costs less to maintain over time. The HP scans faster through the ADF; however, it can only scan double-sided sheets manually through software, while the Canon can do it automatically in a single pass. The scan quality isn't as good as the Canon printer's.
