Hewlett Packard Reviews 

My perfectly functioning laser scanner/printer no longer speaks to my Mac following a software update.
I called the HP helpline and the assistant informs me that unfortunately my printer has "reached the end of its service life so is no longer supported" even though it was working perfectly yesterday!
So I have to throw out a fully functioning laser machine because planet woke won’t script a simple universal driver forcing to buy a new one. Saving the planet my a$$

Approx 10 sales staff have given me different answers to the same question. Promised return phone calls that never arrive; I call that lying what does HP call it? After sales much the same as sales. Told complaints could only be made by email told complaints cannot be made by email. Pathetic customer service from staff who must be very badlt trained. I've gone to my credit card company for a chargeback. And the results of their reviews tells you how dreadful this company is!

hp 2170e is a dire printer i will never purchase anything from hp ever again

Beware when buying HP products. I bought an HP envy printer towards the end of 2023. It malfunctioned in January generating a massive bill for many thousands of sheets of printing I hadn’t done. After a great deal of aggro HP finally credited most of the charge back onto my instant ink account and replaced the printer. Despite the original printer still being well under warranty I discovered the replacement printer wasn’t new but reconditioned which HP had in from someone else for repair. No wonder this replacement immediately went wrong and wouldn’t print. I always understood a warranty covered a new replacement not someone else’s old broken cast off. Many hours spent on HP FB assistance getting nowhere. Constant insistence on trouble shooting getting nowhere as printer broken beyond repair. Hours spent trying various ways of contacting HP help all to no avail as either unavailable or directed somewhere else that then didn’t work. Letter to HP UK head office completely ignored as was letter to USA head office.

Please note

HP products are not replaced with new if they go wrong within warranty.
2. HP don’t want to know when things go wrong.
3. HP make contact so difficult probably hoping customers get fed up and give up trying.
4. HP FB chat keep you waiting hours for a response every time you ask a question.

Solution. Don’t buy HP products. Go to a reputable company who offer a proper warranty and service and when things do go wrong assist a customer and not constantly fob them off with excuses. Currys for instance give an extended warranty at alittle extra cost which covers an immediate new replacement for three years.

Phoned HP helpline today as my printer wasn't connecting. After a long wait, was told they were attending to the matter. Then comes a message that says £1 needs to be paid before they can deal. They never did and on checking my credit card company, HP have charged the £1 and additionally £24 for a yearly service. I have spoken to my credit card company and will pursue this elsewhere. There is a word for this practice, isn't there ?

I have a HP Deskjet 2540 printer. There is always an issue when I try and print something. Test page needs scanned for alignment before print or intermittent WiFi connection issues. Also it eats the ink even when printing in greyscale. HP have two apps, one called HP Smart (which is anything but), which do the same thing and troubleshooting software which doesn't troubleshoot anything at all. I'm done with HP. I will never buy one of your products again.

I spent 3 hours online with customer service trying to get my printer connected, and honestly this person know nothing and just wasted my time. The HP printer I bought has been nothing but trouble since the day I bought it, and the customer service is worse, Never another HP product for me This company should do itself a favor and kill itself!

What is wrong with these people? It's a printer. Stop screwing it up. No you cannot have my credit card number. No I will not pay a subscription to print. No you cannot make me. I will never buy another of any of your products.

Bought printer envoy 6032e. Followed instructions using the app. Multi attempts to set up using different mobiles.not set up.the support link is unresponsive put on the numbers from the printer nothing happens. Hp seems to have no way in the UK of sending an email to them. Where do you contact to return an order ?Humans available when go online and searching to buy but not when you have an issue post sale.invisible customer service .
My previous hp printers no issues at all

If it were possible to award this truly vile and unhelpful company less than one star, I would! I bought what appeared to be a very nice new Hewlett Packard printer in January and a kind and experienced computer technician installed it for me (I am disabled). It functioned perfectly for about five weeks. Then my computer made an update and I found my printer had been deleted. Because I am disabled, a wonderful organisation named Ability Net help me, free of charge, and are usually able to deal with any and every problem I have - I cannot praise them or their technical know-how enough. A usually excellent technician spent hours on end trying to sort out the problem, which appeared to be with the drivers, but with no result. Another technician tried, for hours, repeatedly. This went on an on. Somebody set me up with a password and link to Hewlett Packard so that I could deal with them myself and ask for help verbally (which is denied in the evenings, when Ability Net people can assist me) and I tried, and tried, to reach them. My password was declared out of date as soon as it was issued, and I spent a day in pain (sitting at my computer too long is agonising) being blocked at every turn. As my printer is within warranty I will return it - sadly, as it was small and neat, which was all I wanted - but I am left feeling that this company doesn't care a damn about those people who, like me, have been stupid enough to buy a Hewlett Packard printer and then expect any help if it malfunctions. If I'd had to pay for all the expert help I've received from Ability Net, I would have spent thousands of pounds by now.

Bought an expensive smart tank 550. It was always complicated and unreliable but eventually printing was too poor to send out. Did all repairs but didnt work so had to pay £22 to get a phone tech support. She spent 20 minutes and only repeated the repairs I did . Eventually she said your printer heads dont work ...its kaput - end of story. Then had cheek to offer to put me through for sales to sell me a new one. Its too technical , poor support and even paying extra for phone support theydont really seem to know or care.

HP Spectre £5000 and the worst Customer Service I haven waiting a month with no replacement/repair update for a Laptop that is 2 months Old.

I’d rather buy a homeless person alcohol than give any money to such a weak and ignorant company.

Hewlett Packard is selling an All-In-One Printer, 5200 Series for which they have discontinued support! I found the identical product on Amazon for $319. but the advertisement does [not] tell the buyer the model and support ended 01/01/2024.

I bought the printer from HP for $74.00 in 2019. It has stopped taking print requests from my HP Laptop--the newest one purchased just a year ago in February.

I worked with a wonderful support tech for over an hour and they were unable to fix the problem. Finally, my call was disconnected. When I tried to reconnect (the agent gave me a ticket number and an email to get back to support) the system returned an error message: "Sorry, something went wrong on our end. Please try again later.

Okay. So I gave up and called Sales stating my model number, year bought, product ID, etc. asking for a similar item "with the same functionality." The salesperson countered with: "How much do you want to spend?" They had no idea I'd already spotted the same product on Amazon.

That response told me everything I needed to know about getting help as a long-time HP client. This entire experience has caused me to not buy from HP again.

There should be a "Discontinued item-no available support-Buy as is" disclaimer. There is none! So to anyone looking for a 5200 series HP printer (with built-in obsolescence) purchasing this particular item is advised against.

For the reasons stated, I will no longer purchase from this company. Further research after the phone calls revealed that HP has lost much of the respect it once enjoyed. Customers have lodged complaints about the products as well as poor customer service.

Note: I purchased and paid for (I have the receipts) an extra-Care Pak for the printer at the same time I bought the (refurbished) laptop from QVC. The agent handling the transaction [did not tell me[ the product was going to be phased out!

I called later in 2023 to ask a question about the printer malfunctioning and was told by a different agent "There will be no further support beginning 01/01/2024. No, I was not offered a refund or adjustment of any kind. So they have my money (I bought extra for three (3) years and I'm simply left with a non-working printer and payment for a service that was sold under suspicious circumstances.

Folks, be very careful dealing with HP directly. If you purchase from an online seller at least you'll have them to go back to. I'm closing this case with a warning to everyone. Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!

They dont have a complaint process. I had to write a letter to their HQ and asked them to take disused and unopened cartridges back after supplying a new printer with different cartridges. They refused. Over £150 worth. Not an apology nor an offer to compensate. That sort of service is not worth one star

very poor costumer service

I like my laptop very much but the end of the battery life is approaching. Trying to contact customer service, HP support, online chat, whatsapp, or telephone support is impossible. Long waiting times, cut offs, repeated messages with apologies but no action: shame on you HP !

I really like their laptops, it's just a shame that they often phase out models with hardware that's still relatively modern

Will not use HP online shipping ever again because of the following:
1 Late shipment receiving laptop because wrong tracking number was put on package. Many phone calls to find receiving shipment date.
2 Laptop did not wotk.
3 Over 20 phone calls, 20 texts and emails to find out how to return laptop.
4 Robotic call answering service named Holly was a roundabout. When I did reach someone I was told to call a different number. Robotic Holly answering again.
5 Wrong return shipping label. Third party shipping company said they had no record of my returned laptop and kept telling me to call FedX who had already delivered laptop to them.
6 More phone calls and emails to shipping company and HP.
7 False promises to refund purchase of over $500 after return.
HP said refund timing depended on my bank. My bank gives return credit from Amazon in a day.
8 Paying interest on credit card while waiting for refund after numerous calls to HP.
9 Still no refund after 5 to 10 day refund promise.
10 Hours spent on phone and PC trying to contact the right person.
11 Extremely poor service. Very poor communication with the customer. So many telephone numbers to call and only get robotic answering service named Holly. I don't want to buy any HP product again. This has been an experience of 2 months since Oct 11th. Advice would be study Amazon"s model of online customer service including returns.

I purchased a HP Deskjet 2710e inject printer in February 2023. I bought my first Deskjet in 1995 and have bought a range of HP products since then. So a hardened customer. This item has been a disaster from start to finish and I've now put the printer in the dumpster.
1 The printer claims to only work when connected to the internet. What??!! I managed to fix that (bit of a work-around but whatever). I also _had_to install it using a smartphone as I use a Linux machine. Whatever. Using mobile broadband is a problem.
2 Ref using mobile broadband and a smartphone as the WiFi hotspot doesn't work: there is a bug in the HP smartphone app that means that this is broken. Work-around: use the HP Smart app on a different smartphone.
3 Having set the WiFi parameters on installation they are not easily changed, in fact possibly by only by doing a factory reset and re-installing.I have 2 smartphones since I am reliant on mobile broadband and there are not-spots. Different phone, different network name. So only 1 phone works with the printer.
4 This machine gobbles ink. The ink is VERY expensive. So I subscribed to instant ink. Disaster all round including issues with the hot spot and HP Smart. Printer rendered useless. Immediately cancelled the subscription.
5 Bought 2 more genuine HP ink cartridges from Argos. Bit of a disaster in its own right. The spec is 120 "average" pages per cartridge. First gave me 32 pages (of not very dense text) the second 14 pages of the same.
6 Went to buy a new printer from Currys. I noticed that Currys are selling off all the Deskjet 2710es in the sale. Interesting, that....
Into the dumpster with it and I will never buy anything from HP again. What a shame.

My Hp Pavilion dv6 note book is now 11 years old.
Although the hard drive is slow due to age, it has been reliable.
The motherboard failed within the first year hence the 4 stars. This was replaced free under the warranty.
I have increased the sd ram but I will fit a SSD hard drive soon, hopefully getting many more years from it.
When the time comes for a replacement, I will purchase the same model . Very good value for the price.
