Duplex mechansim lasted about a year
Pros: The printers has a lot of features. Printouts are good quality.
Cons: VERY slow, the communications between the printer and The computer seem to take longer than normal, it hesitates before it performs an operation and then sometime goes into a long period of "processing" before it will print/copy. The duplex scanner stopped working. I am not heavy user of duplex scanner maybe 100 pages per month. It worked for about 1 year - suggest getting an extended warranty
Overall Review: I might buy again but only with extended warranty. The printer basically work. I've owned other Canon products and had no problems. So far only duplex scanning fails, but this is one of the features I wanted.
