I wanted to upgrade from my 430 series, which was outstanding for my mobile use. I was so pleased with it, I took one step up and put the MX452 in my home office and am quite pleased with it.

Pros: reliable, Easy Setup, High Quality Output, easy to use
Cons: Slow Print Speed, Flimsy Construction
So far I am satisfied with the all in one MX452. Wireless took about 20 minutes to install but the connection since I hooked up has not failed. The only problem when installing the wifi was menu settings, they could be just a bit less confusing.
One feature I would truly like is the ability to select the option of either printing in black and white or color after I select print and the pop up menu comes up to send my document to the printer.

Cons: Difficult Setup, Flimsy Construction
I bought the MX452 to replace an MX300 series printer I've had for a while. I bought the MX452 specifically for the wifi capability. We have multiple computers in my home and the older printer only worked on one with a USB connection. I went through the necessary steps and the computer couldn't recognize the printer on the wifi. I need to mention in this review that I am fairly technical. I know how to manually configure settings, etc. I couldn't get it to work after more than an hour. I took it back and bought the MX922. I haven't hooked it up yet, but I'm hoping it's easier. I also was not happy with the quality of the plastic housing. My old printer was well built. This one seemed to be a little more cheaply constructed.

Pros: Easy Setup, High Quality Output, easy to use
Cons: Slow Print Speed, printing in draft mode disabled
I can't print in draft mode. And the ink isn't exactly lasting as well as I had hoped. I am forced to print in normal mode or high quality. Printing is therefor very slow. If you are not in a rush to print tens of pages, it shouldn't be a problem. And if you don't mind buying ink cartridges left and right, then no problem.

Pros: reliable, Easy Setup, durable, Small Footprint, High Quality Output, fast print speed, easy to use, excellent price!
Cons: scanning features needs more tools for documents, scans documents too light through top feeder
This Canon printer is super wonderful! I also own the Canon PIXMA IP100 Mobile Photo Printer since Feb 2009. I love that printer because it was mobile, small and printed beautiful photos as well as documents. But lately is started to have a few problems (going to have it repaired) that I had to put it on the shelf for this new Canon MX452. I really wanted something that was 100% wireless without sending it a cloud. This printer does everything that is says it will do and more. Printing, scanning, and faxing is a breeze! And it really is 100% wireless! I installed the software (CD) that came with the printer on my Windows 8 PC with no problems at all. I recommend the software that came with the printer because it's just easier. Plus there are a few programs that are very helpful that work well with your printer. The Canon website also has the software on line, but then you have to install each program individually.
I had to use the printer USB cable that came with the printer in order for me to connect wireless. But you may or may not need to use the cable like I had to in order to set it up. The software and cable came in handy and connected me right away. After 1 minute the printer recognized my network. I put in my network password and connected and then the installation CD asked you to remove the printer cable to then go wireless. The only cord that is used is the power cord and the telephone cord for the faxing. Best part is I can print now from anywhere in the house from my laptop or tablet and even my Android cell. Goggle play has a Canon app which needs major work (that's another review), but the cell app is really not needed since mostly every program or web page has a print button to click on. Just make sure you don't turn off the printer power button. When the printer is not in use the printer will just go to sleep to reduce the power. But as soon as you click print or any other feature the printer will wake up immediately.
Printing documents is sharp and clear and what I love best is that is only needs two inks for the tanks. Which will save you money. Most printer brands these days need 5 or more inks cartridges. So far the ink is still going strong and has not run out. We use the printer for personal use everyday. The only thing I wish Canon would of spent more time in perfecting this printer is adding more tools (editing or cropping) to the scanning features of the printer. Not really the best like the other features and needs work, but will get the scanning job done. Scanning documents came out better for me when I scanned on the glass or directly from the PC. Not so great from the top feeder. This printer even has an area just for scanning photo negatives which is nice. Photo printing is really nice, but I didn't really purchase this for my photos even though they do print beautiful. But overall for the low price and for everything that this printer does it is a purchase that I would truly recommend with flying colors!
