Was ist not good? I was considering it for home use, since I very rarely print anything and the 1€ a month would maybe be worth it for a headache-free printing experience.
If you understand that it's basically a Netflix subscription for ink, it works great, especially if you print photos it can save a lot of money. If you print a few things a month and suddenly go to 400 pages, you might run out of ink before the next set arrives.
When you anticipate running out soon, you have to give CS a call and ask them to send the next set of cartridges sooner than later.
Still, anything is better than paying full retail for refills at Cartridge World.
Because you spent $5 a month instead of $50 on cartridges of ink that will dry up in 3 months if they don't get used. If you need an ink tank, then you aren't worried about photo quality, in which case a laser is better.
I've got a Brother MFC-something. It isn't the fastest, but it's a workhorse. I think upfront it was about $450, but for both my wife and I's businesses, it's great.
If you rarely print and don't need to print in color, I would suggest getting a printer that uses toner instead of ink cartridges. Those printers are a bit more expensive and so is the toner, but what's really nice is that you can print like a thousand pages on a single toner cartridge - and those will never dry up due to being a powder. You can get a no-frills Brother one for under $100 when they go on sale, and HP has some that can also go under $100 on sale.
That being said, if you don't mind paying 12€ a year for not printing most of the time, then go for it, but like @scarcer said, you will need to reach out to HP and call them if you plan on printing more than what your plan normally allows.
