If your budget is the first constraint, the open-box HP DeskJet 2827e gives you a wireless all-in-one at a lower listed price. If you print long documents often and want fax in the same machine, the used HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e is the speed-focused alternative.

Where each product wins
The open-box HP DeskJet 2827e is the pick if you want a straightforward wireless printer-and-scanner with duplex and networkable features. It also adds a bonus 3 months of Instant Ink in the title and carries a one-year manufacturer warranty. The open-box condition means the package may be missing an accessory or the original packaging, so inspect the included contents before setting up.
The used HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e wins when you need higher-volume output. Its 22 ppm black print speed is roughly three times faster than the DeskJet's 7.5 ppm, and it adds fax, a color print-copy-scan-fax workflow, 512MB of memory, and Ethernet and USB connections. The used condition is the trade-off, along with a higher listed price.
Product notes
Open Box: HP DeskJet 2827e All-in-One Printer with Bonus 3 Months of Instant Ink
This open-box unit may have been opened and examined by a customer, and the packaging or an accessory could be missing. If that is acceptable, you get a wireless all-in-one with print, copy, scan, duplex, networkable, and portable features. The listed price is the lower one in this comparison, and the title includes a bonus 3 months of Instant Ink. Keep in mind the 7.5 ppm black print speed will feel slow if you routinely print many pages. It is best as a home or light-duty printer-and-scanner rather than a high-volume office machine.
HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e All-in-One Printer
This used business inkjet is the faster choice at 22 ppm black, with 512MB of memory to handle multi-page jobs. It supports print, copy, scan, and fax, plus Ethernet and USB connections, so it is fitted for a small office or home office with more demanding output. The trade-off is that this is a used unit, which introduces more uncertainty about its prior handling than a new or open-box unit. Also, the listed price is higher, so it makes sense when speed and fax capability justify the cost. For connectivity, the listed options are Ethernet and USB, so plan your desk setup around a wired connection.
Final choice by use case
Choose the open-box HP DeskJet 2827e when you want a lower upfront price and only need wireless print, copy, and scan around the house. Choose the used HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e when your workload is heavier, fax is a requirement, and the higher listed price fits your equipment budget.
