Since purchasing a Canon Pixma printer…

Since purchasing a Canon Pixma printer through Currys on 16 September I have been trying to get the advertised £20 rebate promised. Delay after delay and now an overly complicated request for the serial number (already supplied QC7-9209-DB01-01) with a link that simply does NOT work. No wonder reviews are so bad. Canon reference 6924182

Thank you Canon for the high quality after care support

I wanted a cheap but cheerful printer for the occasional use. I bought a PIXMA printer.from Argos under £40! I really struggled to get it to connect to WiFi. In the end I phoned the Canon UK support line. Phone answered promptly and an incredibly helpful technician guided me through the process and stuck with me even though the problem was in part the WIFI. It’s a long time since I have received such helpful after purchase help. Thank You Canon and the technician who was so patient and helpful. The printer also works well.

Full repair under warranty - working swimmingly

I use my Canon Pixma G650 for semi-professional purposes - printing prototypes of products and samples before I get them sent for professional print. I also make some art prints using the expensive Canon Fine Art media. For these purposes the print quality has really been exceptional for the price, and so I was gutted when the printer developed an issue about 10 months into ownership. Canon UK support however were very helpful (spoke to a real person via phone not some AI chatbot) and I sent the printer off for repair and just got it back today within a couple of weeks and all issues fixed with ink topped up. Can't really fault this level of service!

Model Canon x Pixma using Canon PG-560XL/CL-561XL - DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Totally agree with everything said about these printers being poor. I work from home and all I wanted was a small home printer with feeder scanner and decent cartridge use. DO NOT EVER BUY this evil litle printer and spend hours pouring over the ADF / Scanner misfunction as I have. Its enough to send anyone over the edge. I bought mine from Ryman and am taking it back.

Canon TS5150 printer

I have had this printer for a long time but it just gets worse and worse. In an ordinary house without central heating on 24 hours a day it just eats paper and constatnly tells you that there's a paper jam or that there's no paper in it at all. You have to get at the back of the printer to access the paper jam so it needs to be put on top of something not in a shelving unit or you can't even get to it! It always seems to be worse after you've bought new expensive ink cartidges so if you just smash it up and throw it out - which is what it will leave you feeling like doing after 20 minutes of trying to print one lousy side of A4 - you waste the cost of the cartridges as well!!

Avoid these problems by not buying one in the first place. I don't know how it obtains the reviews that it gets in the press. It certainly doesn't merit them in the real world.

Absolutely poor

Absolutely poor. I used to buy Cannon products and I never really had to use a warranty option until recently with a printer. It’s safe to say that I won’t be buying one again. The warranty process is so appalling and the customer service is atrocious. Took them a month to request a receipt of purchase for me. Now requesting something ridiculous and I still have my princess! It’s been a month that I’ve not been able to print anything. Clearly, they’re not willing to provide replacements for their faulty products and the warranty is just stated for the formality.

Printers are appalling

Printers are appalling. Brittle cheap plastic part snapped on first Canon printer we had. Replaced with a more expensive model - huge mistake. Virtually every time we go to print anything there is a printer issue from paper jams to printer churning out blank pages then saying the print is complete! Never had these issues with HP models.

I purchased a PIXMA print plan from Canon. All was okay until my ink ran out. I expected new cartridges to be sent automatically but nothing arrived so I contacted Canon support - waste of time. It will be 2 weeks next Monday and still no cartridges. I escalated it to complaints on 12th August, still no cartridges.

Don’t get a TS7650 or printplan

I bought a printer TS7650 returned it as it was faulty. Got replacement from printbase. Got fed up with cost of cartridges so ordered a print plan. Got cartridges and it worked! But within days the printer stopped by remote blocking from Canon. Turned out the payment card needed to be updated. Couldn’t do that one line. Phoned; they couldn’t or wouldn’t accept payment directly. So cancelled print plan and bought a fresh one-still didn’t work! Called , waited, called, waited etc and after about 2 weeks the block was lifted Guess what! tried to print today - BLOCKED! Called Canon but cannot fix it there and then have to escalate - somewhere! - will have to wait again.Meanwhile the new print plan has disappeared from my account, the original plan shows ‘cancelled’ though the new payment method is active and live.

Don’t get a Canon printer- cartridge ink too expensive, customer support team very polite but handcuffed- and sound frustrated by that. And here I am once more with documents waiting and no printer only because of a software switch Canon has remotely activated that no one other than a favoured few seems able to access in any way.

Misleading delivery on £2000+ order.

Really sad to be writing about this experience, as I love Canon products having used their entry level cameras for years.

I finally decided to upgrade to a new, all singing all dancing camera and kit lens - the purchase was over £2000 which is a huge amount of money for someone like me to spend on my hobby. Canon UK store said next day delivery but realistically could be up to 3 days for delivery. I guessed the delivery might be on the longer side because I made my order on a Sunday morning however, I am STIL WAITING for dispatch 3 days later!

When you spend £2000+ on an order, you expect to be treated like a valued customer, but when I spoke to Canon customer service to find out if there was an update on dispatch, Nicholas just told me that the next day is only for some products and that mine would take 1-3 days. Again, I am STILL WAITING for an email to say it has been dispatched.

Really poor experience with Canon UK so far. Next time I'll be buying products from a brick and mortar store and will consider other brands.

*EDIT - I spoke to customer service again and whilst they reiterated the previously mentioned delivery timeframes, they did at least give me an update on the item and it finally arrived today. I'm fine with deliveries taking time because we can't expect everything to arrive at the click of our fingers however, having a busy life I was concerned that the delivery would arrive whilst I was out and would either a) miss the delivery, b) have it left on the doorstep in rainy UK weather and potentially get either wet or stolen. Thankfully, it turned up no isses. I think Canon UK need to look at their delivery and dispatch information though, as it's not great to take the customer's money and then leave them with little communication about the order.
