Reviewer verdict

Across 11 YouTube reviews, the HP Smart Tank 6001 earns a Summa score of 4.6/5, ranking #12 among Printers. Reviewers most often praise its features, ink or toner costs, software and drivers, while the most common criticisms concern speed and performance, features.

The Smart Tank 6001 is praised across reviewers for combining a high-capacity refillable ink system with smart, app-driven features; roughly a majority of reviews highlighted refill tanks, two years of included ink and mess-free bottles as major benefits. Reviewers also frequently applauded the AI-enabled and remote-management features, strong connectivity (Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, mobile printing) and a capable HP Smart app that simplifies scanning, printing, and shortcuts. Print quality, especially for everyday documents and color graphics, and low operating costs from the tank design were repeatedly mentioned as strengths. Users additionally noted convenient all‑in‑one functionality (print/scan/copy/fax), automatic duplexing, and a compact, sustainable design with front-visible ink tanks and good scanner performance for typical document sizes.

Criticisms were much less frequent but consistent in areas like print speed and photo throughput, with several reviewers noting slower photo printing and that the unit is not meant for heavy industrial volumes. A few reviewers pointed out software limitations in the HP app and drivers that can make some photo settings harder to find or adjust, and occasional alignment/size issues when printing photos from computers. There are also some feature limits reported by a minority, such as inability to handle PVC cards, scanner limits for legal‑size documents, and a somewhat bare control panel that may require occasional troubleshooting for advanced photo tasks.
