The HP LaserJet M451 allows you to print on both sides of the paper with automatic duplexing. This is super environment-friendly, cutting down on paper and costs.

Cons
One pitfall of the HP LaserJet Pro M451 is that only prints at a speed of 21 pages per minute. This is considerably slow in comparison to other models on the market of the same printer class, which usually print at a speed of 25 pages per minute, some even up to 30 pages.
250 sheets in the paper tray is also considered small. It can be expanded, which is good, but when a lot of offices go through more than 1,000 pages a day, it makes it seem like you are constantly filling up the paper tray again and again.
