"canon pc 170 personal copier"
I bought this several months ago - it's so easy to set up and use - a bit heavy to "carry around" but you can take it with you if needed. I'm glad I got it.

"Handy little copier"
We got this because we have caretaker responsibilities and the constant stream of insurance papers, bills, requests for POA papers and endless, often duplicated, red tape was getting to us. Remembering to make copies when going into town and the associated delays didn't make things better. This little copier fits the bill perfectly since it takes up little room and is ready to go as soon as we turn it on. The copies are plenty good and we are very happy with the unit. It shipped extremely fast so I think Amazon has resolved that issue. The spare cartridge took a little longer to come in but the copier comes with a half full one so that didn't mater.

"Second buy of the same fine Canon product"
We have used a Canon PC420 copier for over 10 years. It has finally gotten so that it will not regularly pull the paper from the tray without coaxing. I have made good buys and I have made stupid buys...the Canon copier is one of the best buys I have ever made. Great price...great service...long life.

The Canon PC 170 is almost identical to the PC420. That is the MAIN reason we have purchased this unit...we have been extremely pleased with the PC420. We have only used the PC 170 for about a month, but I have no reason to believe that it will have any shorter service life than the PC420. Copies are excellent. No warm up time. Operation is swift and quiet. The unit fits on a small chest in our living room.

Incidentally, the old PC420 is still working, if a little tempermentally. I am figuring that if I get in there and rough up the now glazed surface on the rubber wheel that pulls the papers through, it will work as well as when it was new a decade or more ago. If you are interested in great b/w copies...you cannot go wrong with the Canon series of copiers. If you are GREEN...they carry the Energy Star symbol.

"Nice copier"
This is a good copier if you do not plan to make lots of copies. It works very well for what I use it for.
Overall I am happy with it.

"Canon PC 170 - love it!"
This copier replaces a personal Canon copier I had for at least 14 years. Over the years I have found it very handy to have a copier at home and have used it quite often. The Canon PC 170 takes up very little space and performs very well. It makes excellent copies quickly with no warm-up waiting time. An additional feature which I did not have on my older copier, is that the PC 170 has a paper feed which allows one to make multiple copies. You can also set the number of copies to be made. On my old copier, each paper had to be hand fed. Another nice feature is that one can adjust the paper feed to make copies as small as an index card. I have used this feature many times over the years on my old copier and was happy to see this same feature on the newer model. This copier is an excellent value for the price.
