Advantages: Small, rezistant

Disadvantages: None

This is a very affordable multifunctional with printer, copier and scanner all in one unit.
I have one since 2 years or so and I assume it will be in best shape even after 3 years from now.
I use it rarely and I recommend it to those looking for a cheap multifunctional without fax, but with refillable ink cartridges and enough power not to disappoint you when you most need it.
Don't rely on it for picture printing if you don't know how to refill the cartridges by yourself.
The MP160 is compact and doesn't occupy much space on your office desk like bulky models, and seems very resistant.
What I don't like is that I don't have where to clean it inside. The printer has lots of dust and small paper pieces in it, but it still works as it should.
Seems that the internal construction doesn't allow small paper pieces to enter in sensitive areas.

Summary: Cheap high-quality multifunctional

Hi Nar2. Well, you can refill the ink cartriges by yourself but only if someone teaches you, otherwise you need to take the printer to a service and pay to refill it there.
The pictures consume lots of ink and you can print about 5 A4-sized pictures and the the cartriges are empty. That's why I can say it is not a good solution for picture printing.
For cleaning I will get a mini vacuum cleaner or something similar.
The prices are not relevant because now you'd probably find the device at a totally different price than what I paid 2 years ago.

Im a bit confused to your review. If you can't fill the ink yourself, how are you supposed to operate this printer if you do want to do picture printing? And how can this printer in light of what you say merit stars based on your experience?
More info based on its features, controls and installation would be good here including the price and cost of the print tanks including the actual price of the model you have, that you paid.

Consult your manual if you dont know how to open it up - cleaning out most Canon printers are easy to do generally.
