Choosing between the HP DeskJet 4355 and the HP Smart Tank 6001 comes down to how much printer your home routine requires. Both are HP all-in-one inkjets, and both are designed for mobile printing, so you can send jobs from your phone on either model. They land at different points on the price spectrum, though - the DeskJet 4355 is the lower-priced option, and the Smart Tank 6001 carries a higher listed price. With a $130 price spread between them, the real question is whether the added connectivity of the Smart Tank 6001 is worth it for your household. The choice comes down to how often you print and how many devices you use. The DeskJet 4355 is the keep-it-simple choice; the Smart Tank 6001 is the connect-everything choice. If you only print occasionally, the simpler model may be all you need; if you print often and from multiple devices, the upgrade makes sense.
Quick Verdict
For a no-fuss all-in-one at the lower price, the HP DeskJet 4355 at $69.99 is the straightforward pick. If you want the model with more connectivity, the HP Smart Tank 6001 at $199.99 is the one.

Product Notes
HP DeskJet 4355
The DeskJet 4355 is the pick when the essentials are enough. It prints, copies, and scans, and its listed dimensions - 16.85 inches long, 13.07 inches wide, and 7.87 inches high - point to a desktop footprint that won't dominate a small office. The clearest reason to choose it is the lower listed price of the two printers. The main trade-off is that its Input Type stays focused on print, copy, and scan, so you'll be working at the desk for each job rather than sending files from across the room. For occasional documents, school worksheets, and quick scans, that's a manageable limitation. If your printing rarely stacks up, this model keeps the purchase simple. For a student desk or a small home office, the dimensions make it easy to place.
HP Smart Tank 6001
The Smart Tank 6001 is the model to pick when you want a more connected setup. Its connection options are broader, so you can send print jobs from laptops, phones, and tablets without staying tethered to the machine. With 128 MB of memory, it can handle multiple jobs more smoothly. The listed dimensions are similar - 16.83 inches long, 14.33 inches wide, and 7.82 inches high - so it takes up a comparable footprint. The trade-off is the higher listed price; you're paying for the extra capability and memory. If your household shares one printer among several devices, the added connection choices make it the more flexible all-in-one for daily use. The similar footprint means it can sit in the same spot without needing a bigger desk.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the HP DeskJet 4355 when you need a no-fuss all-in-one at the lower listed price. Choose the HP Smart Tank 6001 when added connectivity is worth the higher listed price. Either way, you have an HP all-in-one to match your workflow.
