Define "qualtiy"

Most of the consumer models are 2 year devices so is that quality? Or are you going for some Office version that gets you a few more years?

two year lifetime at least

dependable for at least two years use, easy wireless set up as I'm not that great with technology, will be used to support three home computer/laptops, used primarily by my two children, college/highschool, was looking at a Canon at best buy for around 99 dollars.

I've found wifi to never be simple enough.

99 buck printers usually make it to 2 years on average. So while I give the nod to HP, other makes seem to fair well at 2 years.

Be honest. At 99 bucks there is almost no money for quality components. It's all just plastic and cardboard and something that will never be repaired.
