After doing decent amount research online and re-reading product specs I chose this product. I work from home most of the time. Without copier and Fax machine at home I had to occasionally run to the nearby Xerox shop. So I decided to buy this machine to increase productivity. After reading product specs I narrowed down my choices to Canon MF-4150 & Samsung 4251-F. Canon MF-4150 costs Rs. 15, 500(This is not MRP price. Be sure to bargain to get this price or lower.)(I bought this from ACCESS COMPUTER DATA CORP in Chennai.
You can find their number from canon Indian website) Samsung costs Rs. 13, 500. Samsung 4251-F sell lot more units in India than Canon MF-4150. I would guess Samsung 4251 is also a good product. Canon offers duplex printing.(You can print double sided pages directly from computer. No need to switch papers.) Also canon copier supports 1-2 sided copying. Canon is little more compact than Samsung.(61k cubic cm Vs 72 cubic cm) Canon has 250 sheet input tray compared to Samsung's 100 sheet input tray. Canon has 100 sheet output tray compared to 50 sheet output tray of Samsung. Canon has 4MB fax memory compared to Samsung's 2MB.
Canon's advertised toner cartridge yield is 2000 pages. Samsung offers 3000 pages yield. Few people had mentioned in internet that paper hardly get stuck in canon printer. This was an important parameter for me. My ex HP printer gets stuck with paper occasionally. And It is an annoying thing, when you are urgently printing documents. Automatic document feeder is nice. You could either use ADF or flatbed for copying. Fax, Scan all very easy to operate from computer.
