I have an epsom 1290. I've had it replaced once and the same thing went wrong with it 6 months later. This also happened with the one we had at work.

@ home my have had 1290 for about 2 years. Has had a few problems but on the whole quite good.
@ work we are leasing a xerox DocuCentre C250. The thing pumps out pages all day long. Brilliant if you have the $$$$

I've abused a Canon (i9100) for about 2½ years now, and the only problems I've had have been rectifiable inhouse (even if it does only seem to fuck up at 4am, hours before deadline.. :)
I'm now looking to buy a contemporary Canon model for my home-office needs...

Xerox Phaser. Best color out there. The just released a lower cost line using the same color engine.

I use a Minolta color copier with a Fiery RIP. Not a cheap alternative, but if you'll be doing lots of outputs it's worth it in the long run.

Have had very nice results from this kit.
