For up to letter-size copies, this little Canon machine works really well. The price is right, and it makes clean, "high-resolution" (I think that's the marketing term) copies. The starter toner doesn't last long, so you should definitely pick up a real toner cartridge. Luckily, many good generic cartridges are available for Canon copiers.

The PC170 is compact and starts up instantly. There's no waiting for warm-up! Just turn it on and press the green copy button. It's no speed horse, but for SOHO needs, it should suffice.

I've owned this for two years and have been very satisfied. The reliability seems topnotch, too.

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT. IT IS VERY USEFUL FOR EVERY HOUSEHOLD. DOES VERY CRISP CLEAR COPIES. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS PRODUCT. THANK YOU AMAZON FOR LISTING THIS PRODUCT.

I have a brand new pharmacy that demand LOTS of photocopying. The HP L7500 inkjet All In One, although a superb machine, demanded from me to choose between being nailed to it waiting a LONG time to produce a photocopy or going to Office Max and loose precious time and gasoline. Inkjet,besides, are expensive to operate.
The Cannon PC 170 was the ideal solution. It took me longer to pull it out of the box that having it ready to operate. Even George Bush could learn to use it and produce excellent photocopies in 1 minute. It is portable, solidly built, and produces high, underlined high, quality photocopies which is the purpose of this machine. I have even made a few bucks selling photocopies
The price is affordable and refilling the toner drum gives the Cannon PC 170 an extra advantage.
Do not think longer: Choose it and buy it.
P.S.: I am not under Cannon contract.

We were looking for a personal copier like the one we had before. It was a Cannon also. We are very pleased with this one and like the new feature that allows it to make more than one copy at a time as our other did not allow this. We don't make a lot of copies but having the paper there handy at all times was also an added feature.

All in all we are very happy with this copier. It does not take up a lot of space either. We have had no problems and it we were able to use the old cartridge from our other copier as it fit just fine and there was ink left. The cartridges are expensive!
