Let me start by saying this little red printer saved me from a tech meltdown. After wasting money on three other printers that refused to cooperate, the MG3620 actually WORKED right out of the box. That alone deserves a standing ovation.

The setup was surprisingly smooth - though I'll admit I cheated by using an old USB cable since rural life means spotty WiFi. Printed my first document in under an hour (which, after last year's printer disasters, felt like magic). The color prints? Vibrant enough to make my nephew's dinosaur drawings look gallery-worthy.

But here's where things get real: that "compact design" everyone raves about? It's basically printer origami. Fits perfectly on my cramped desk between the coffee stains and cat hair. The lack of screen doesn't bother me - I'm team smartphone controls anyway.

Now for the messy part (literally). When one single sheet of paper jammed, it triggered a full-blown panic attack. Picture me at 2AM, covered in toner, convinced I'd created expensive landfill. Thankfully my husband's ancient tech skills saved the day (and our marriage).

The ink situation? Classic printer shenanigans. The starter cartridges lasted about as long as my New Year's resolutions. Pro tip: buy replacements immediately unless you enjoy mid-essay printing emergencies.

Would I recommend it? For $49? Absolutely - just keep a USB cable handy and maybe some stress balls for paper jams. It's not perfect, but it prints actual documents without requiring a computer science degree to operate - and in my book, that's winning.
