Customers like the quality of the printer. They mention that the laser print is sharper and faster than any ink jet they own, they are impressed by the speed and quality of printing and scanning, and that it works great so far. They also say that the first sheet out is pretty fast, and the scanner scans faster than their older Canon scanner. Customers also appreciate the sheet feeder for copies, which saves time.

Customers are mixed about the scanning quality of the printer. Some mention that it can scan and print great, while others say that it wouldn't scan any more. The automatic scanner is incapable of scanning documents without the bottom of the pages appearing crooked. The printing is very finicky, and the scanning is impossible with a Mac.

Here are the PROS:
• 2022 model (Canon & HP are still selling 4+ y/o models)
• $230 price tag
• Monochrome (no worrying about replacing color cartridges)
• Uses toner instead of ink (no more ink waste/issues)
• Very fast printing (40 ppm)
• Auto-duplex printing (a must have)
• Fast single-pass duplex scanning (scans both sides of the page with a single pass)
• Built-in copier (no computer needed)
• Standard 3,100 page toner cartridge included (Yes!)
• Imaging drum is built into the toner cartridge (no separate imaging drum to replace)
• 250-sheet input tray on bottom
• Separate multi-purpose input tray (great for envelopes!)
• Wi-Fi printing/scanning
• Ethernet printing/scanning (You can use wired instead of wireless networking)
• 5" color touch screen
• Scan to computer/network drive/email/USB drive/I-Fax (I've only scanned to my computer)
• Works with Adobe Acrobat software as a network scanner
• Uses 0.6 watts in sleep mode
• Can add a 550-sheet paper tray to the bottom (for those that print a lot or use two paper sizes)
CONS:
• It's big (18.3 x 17.8 x 15.4 inches)
• It's heavy (35.70 lbs)
• The 5" touch screen is not very responsive
• No 5 GHz Wi-Fi (only works with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi)
• Doesn't support Wi-Fi WPA3 (the might change with a future firmware update)
• Limited to 14" paper print/scan (won't print or scan paper longer than 14")
One of the reasons it's big is because of the additional ADF scanner attached to the top of it. Laser printers are always going to be heavier than lightweight inkjet printers. Color laser printers are even heavier than monochrome laser printers. This printer doesn't work with 5 GHz Wi-Fi. It wasn't a problem for me, but it could be for some people. I didn't have any issues with the printer waking up from sleep mode while printing over Wi-Fi. Printing and scanning has been very solid and fast. I use it with a couple of Windows 11 computers. My only gripe is the 5" touch screen. I love the size but not the responsiveness of it. My main issue was with inputting my very long Wi-Fi password. If you press a character too quickly it types nothing, if you press the character too long it types multiples of that character. On top of all that, it only shows the asterisks for your password so you don't know if you mistyped anything until you are done and the password isn't accepted. It took me about 10 minutes to correctly type my Wi-Fi password. The other issue I ran into was pressing the back arrow in the upper left corner of the screen. It didn't work unless I pressed it at a 45 degree angle outside of the screen area. Other than that, the touch screen seemed effective enough. Once the printer is connected to your network, you can change most of its settings through a web browser on your computer using Remote UI.
I hated printing envelopes with my HP inkjet printer. It required me to remove the bottom paper tray, unload the paper from the paper tray, adjust the paper tray for an envelope, insert the envelop and return the paper tray to the printer, print, remove the paper tray and adjust it for regular paper, reload the paper and return the paper tray to the printer. With the Canon MF453dw, all you do is open the multi-purpose paper tray in the front of the printer, insert the envelope, print and close the paper tray. I love it! The multi-purpose paper tray was a requirement for any new printer that I bought. The scanner can scan to PDF with the free Canon software and the PDFs look great. However, I found they are about 2-3 times larger in file size than if I open Adobe Acrobat and scan to PDF from Acrobat. This is the same issue I also have with my expensive Epson scanner and my HP inkjet printer. My other gripe with my HP inkjet printer was that it was very slow at scanning. The Canon MF453dw does everything quickly. For $230 it includes a 3,100 page toner cartridge, a fast duplex scanner, a fast duplex copier and a 40 ppm duplex monochrome printer all with Wi-Fi connectivity.
I wouldn't bother with the MF451dw & MF452dw models. They print slower and for some reason only have a 1-year warranty. The MF453dw & MF455dw come with a 3-year warranty and are identical except for the analog fax capability. I don't know why there isn't a MF454dw model.
This is my first experience with a Canon laser printer. During the install process, I did have to Google a few of the setup choices because I wasn't sure if I wanted the features enabled or not. The initial setup is performed from the 5" touch screen. I chose to use Wi-Fi because I wanted to have less cable clutter. You can chose to use a network cable instead of Wi-Fi for a more reliable connection. Wi-Fi has been solid for me. My wireless access point is in the same room as my printer. After the initial setup, I looked up MF453dw on Canon's website and clicked on downloads for it. I then chose my operating system (Windows 11) and it gave me a list of software to download. I chose the first two software packages that Canon had marked as "Recommended". The two software packages were called: "[Windows 32bit & 64bit] MF Scan Utility Ver.1.20.0.2" & "[Windows 64bit] MF455dw MFDrivers (Generic Plus UFR II / Generic Plus PCL6 / Generic Plus PS3 / Generic FAX / ScanGear)". I installed the Generic Plus UFR II drivers on my two computers. That was it. I was able to print to it right away. I also opened up the Canon MF Scan Utility and did some test scans with no issues. I was also able to print from my iPhone. I didn't need to install anything on my iPhone. I did have to go into the printer's settings and turn on IPP printing and enable the "Allow Only When Using TLS" option. Your iPhone needs to be on the same network as your printer.
FYI: Laser printers draw a large amount of current compared to inkjet printers while printing. The Canon MF453dw briefly pulls almost 1000 watts for the first page printed and less for any additional pages. It only uses 0.6 watts while sleeping. If you need to use the printer with an extension cord, make sure it is 12-14 gauge (lower is better) depending on the length. I use mine with a 15 foot 12 gauge extension cord.
UPDATE: I found a video on YouTube that shows how to enter service mode on the printer and calibrate the touch screen. I calibrated the screen by touching 9 different points on the touch screen as directed. It didn't fix my issue with the back arrow. So I calibrated the screen again but pressed lower on the top row and exact on the other two rows. That fixed my back arrow issue. However, I still have to press just outside the screen area for the left/right screen arrows. I still love the printer, though.
First impressions: it is very easy to set up and start running. At our house, we have both Apple products and Windows products. This printer works wonderfully wireless with both. We have iPhones, and it prints perfectly from the iPhones with no extra apps or drivers.
I did make sure to install the latest drivers from Canon for both the macOS and windows laptops we have here - before using the printer.
One thing I did not expect was that the scanner is actually a color scanner. It will scan colored pictures of nicely. It just won’t print them in color! :-)
We have started to send our photographs to the local CVS for printing when we want photographs printed. We are very much enjoying this Canon laser printer. It does a great job for all of our organizations and clubs. It is very fast as well. I highly recommend it!
Great Printer! Nothing negative about it at all! Best printer I have ever owned, for sure!
UPDATE: But there is an advantage to the MF455, viz. its 3-year warranty an 40 ppm speed versus a 1-year warranty and 34 ppm speed for the other two.
As for the printer/scanner hardware, it seems to be of high quality, and the paper handling mechanism works well, which is, after all, one of the main characteristics you need in any printer. The other important characteristic is the toner cost per page. At today's prices on Amazon this unit costs about 3.5 cents/page for the standard (3,100 pages) 057 toner cartridge, and 1.83 cents/page for the 057H high capacity (10,000 pages) toner cartridge. These are good numbers, but note that after buying a couple of cartridges you have spent more on toner than you spent to buy the printer. It's obvious where Canon makes its money.
So why have I given it 4 stars (maybe it should have been 3) instead of 5? It's because of the difficulty of setting up the various print/scan functions, and the poor performance of the vaunted touch screen controller.
UPDATE: The next paragraph explains the screen problem. I spent half an hour on the phone with Canon Support, and they concluded (after updating the printer firmware) that indeed my screen was defective. My options were to have Canon replace the printer with a refurbished one under the Canon warranty, or return the printer to Amazon before the 30-day window expired and then order a new replacement. I opted for the latter and now have a new printer with a fully functioning screen.
First the touch screen: The phone manufacturers have set a high bar when it comes to touch screens, and this one doesn't measure up. My biggest complaint is that the text for various screen options does not align with the corresponding sensitive screen area. You must very carefully touch at the very top of the text you wish to select. As a result you will often accidentally choose the entry below the one you want. When that happens you must go back to the home screen and start over. This can be frustrating and time consuming. My second complaint is that on many screens there is a "return" symbol in the upper left corner. That would be great if it worked, because you frequently need to go back to select the previously desired option. But it almost never works. It is simply inert. That's why you have to go back to the home screen.
My next complaint is the difficulty of setting up and configuring the various features. I have read that setup is easy with this unit, but that has not been my experience. I am using this printer with a fairly old iMac running macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra, but I don't think that is the problem. There should be clear instructions on how to set up the printer using either a wired or wireless LAN so that printing and scanning can be initiated from either the computer or the printer control panel. After two days I still have not been able to use the control panel to initiate a scan to be emailed to a selected recipient due to various "registration" issues. The online documentation is voluminous, but it does not always agree with the display on the control panel. I assume that eventually all of this will be sorted out, but in the meantime I am frustrated and disappointed by these problems.

NOT HAPPY.
2 units arrived 2 units being returned and I'll purchase products elsewhere from now on. Going to contact Canon Canada on the morrow to highlight this abysmal product and Amazons approach to dealing with it. Now I have to hook up my trailer just to get them back. The time and money makes this type of exchange/ refund costly and frankly inexcusable.
