The $179 Polono Portable Printer is an impressive and portable alternative to a home printer, and Amazon is selling it for only $70. Shoppers are calling it "a lifesaver that makes my life easier."
Polono Portable Printer, $70 (was $179) at Amazon
You've never seen a printer like this before. It connects to countless devices, not just PCs and Macs, through a USB-C cord or through Bluetooth. When it comes time to print, simply send the document to the device and watch it go. You'll have a high-quality black and white print in seconds. And because it utilizes thermal paper, you never have to worry about running out of ink or dealing with smudges on your skin and clothing. Or worse: buying overpriced ink cartridges. That alone should be worth the price of admission here.
The Polono Portable Printer measures 11.49 L x 2.08 W x 1.49 H inches and clocks in at just over 1 pound, so it fits in most backpacks. You can get up to 200 print jobs on a single charge, so it's perfect for everyday use.
"Considering I am regularly in my car for work, having a printer that I can easily take with me has been a lifesaver," one shopper said. "No more trying to have to run back to the office or try to email this or that. So much nicer, it makes my life easier."
The Polono Portable Printer retails for $179, but Amazon is offering it for only $70, but only for a limited time. It's perfect for students, office workers, and anyone else that needs to print out page after page without the heartache that comes from a typical desktop printer.
