Building a home office? These Brother and Epson printers are up to 50% off

If you’re putting together a new home office, either because of the need to self-isolate due to the novel coronavirus (also known as COVID-19) or simply because you’re working from home more often, you need to have a printer.

Printers might not be in as much demand as they once were, thanks to the rise of digital contracts and documents, but they’re useful to have. Generally, when someone requires you to print something, they really need you to print it. Fortunately, a good home office printer doesn’t have to cost a fortune with plenty of great printer deals out there. We’ve looked more closely at two great options currently on sale that are perfect for the average home office.

Best Buy

The ideal fit for most home offices, the

Epson Expression Home XP-4100 Wireless All-In-One Inket Printer

is low in price but offers plenty of features. It’ll print up to 10 pages per minute in black or up to 5 pages per minute in color with its four bundled Epson 212 Claria ink cartridges offering up to a 150-page yield in black and up to a 130-page yield in color.

It supports up to 5,760 x 1,440 dpi print resolution, ideal for high resolution printouts such as photos as well as regular documents. It also has scanning support so you can easily scan documents straight to your PC or to an email, as well as send quick faxes.

When it comes to cool optional extras, the Epson Expression Home XP-4100 Wireless All-In-One Inket Printer continues its strong run of features with voice-activated printing, Apple AirPrint capabilities, tablet and smartphone based printing, and a clear 2.4-inch LCD screen.

Simply put, the Epson Expression Home XP-4100 Wireless All-In-One Inket Printer is a great all-rounder for most home offices. It’s currently priced at $50 at Best Buy — a price cut of $50, so it’s a bargain.

Brother HL-L2350DW Compact Monochrome Laser Printer — $90, was $120

If you need to print a high volume of documents, you need a laser printer both for speed and value for money. The

Brother HL-L2350DW Compact Monochrome Laser Printer

is a great bet and it’s only $90 right now at Amazon. It’s able to print up to 32 pages per minute with a sheet paper capacity of 250 so you won’t have to refill the tray too often.

It also offers automatic duplex printing enabling it to print on both sides just as easily as on one side. As its name suggests, it’s only a black and white printer but if you solely need to print documents for work, this won’t be an issue.

Its sheer ability to print so fast is the big advantage here but the Brother HL-L2350DW Compact Monochrome Laser Printer is also wireless and works just as well at dealing with print jobs from your smartphone or tablet, as it does with your PC or Mac. Buy from Amazon, and because it has Amazon Dash Replenishment enabled, too, it will order more toner the moment you run low. For business purposes, the Brother HL-L2350DW Compact Monochrome Laser Printer is an ideal stress-free acquisition for your home office.

Home Depot’s “Build Your Own” Black Friday power tool deal is its best-kept secret
Home Depot consumer

Covering cordless power tools during Black Friday is surprisingly fascinating. Of the Black Friday deals I've covered so far this year, both Black Friday cordless drill deals and Black Friday power tool deals have been included included in my retinue, alongside a host of similar articles for our "brother" site The Manual.

There's one deal bundle among them all, however, that I've been utterly fascinated by this whole time. It's what I'm calling Home Depot's "build your own" power tool deal. This intriguing offering, which feels under advertised by Home Depot, seemingly inverts what we think of when we think of power tool deals. Instead of feeling stuck buying buying batteries separately — with a drill, with a big bundle, or with the lucky random battery — you're able (now) to build our deal and get everything you need, at a flat price. This means you can get the exact tool you want, and all the batteries you want with it, for as low as $99. Check it out yourself by tapping the button below, or keep reading to see what makes this deal so unique, how to shop it, and a few suggestions as to what you should buy.

These BLUETTI Black Friday deals include its latest Elite 200 V2 portable power station

Something I love to do, every chance I get, is to share my experiences with select products, especially on deal posts and sales features. Why? Because that gives people a much better idea of what they can expect if they were to take advantage of those offers. For better or worse, you gain something, and that's precisely what I plan to do with BLUETTI's latest Elite 200 V2 portable power station. You see, I happen to have one in my possession which I acquired recently. And a good thing, too, with all of the hurricanes that have been hitting our area -- I live near Tampa, Florida.

Thanks to BLUETTI Black Friday deals and discounts, that have just dropped, there are several power stations on sale, including the Elite 200 V2. It's a 2,600-watt and 2,073.6-watt-hour power station, which is frankly a massive capacity for something this size, that can power up to nine devices simultaneously -- I've tested that too. Understandably, you probably care more about the prices and discounts so let's get into it.

More BLUETTI Black Friday deals for home power backup and more — Save over $200

Continuing coverage of BLUETTI Black Friday deals, including one of its latest portable power stations the Elite 200 V2, we have a few more callouts worth taking a look at. Where before the main focus was home battery backup or a solid portable power option for off-grid, these deals are smaller in scope. The BLUETTI AC180 solar portable power station, for instance, features a 1,152-watt-hour capacity, which is not nearly as massive as what you get with the Elite 200 V2, but that's the point. It's manageable, has 11 outlets to power multiple devices simultaneously, and has a built-in MPPT charge controller and 500-watt solar input for fast charging via solar. It's best for use on the go or on the road, just like the BLUETTI Charger 1.

Enough about the gear, let's talk about those deal prices. As an aside, right now you can use code DT01 for an extra 5% discount on top of all sale prices. That code is exclusive to Digital Trends readers and applicable to all products on BLUETTI's website.
