Slight disappointment in HP Smart Tank 6001 All-in-one

I am excited about the Smart Tank concept; not having to replace ink cartridges so frequently. However, I also have the need for frequent scanning of documents, many of which have many pages. The Smart Tank 6001 does not have a feeder tray, only a flat bed, allowing for one page at a time.
Set up took way too long. I ended up having to get a second computer and my phone to get my wifi to finally connect. Bring back the direct connect so set up is easier.
While I finally got the printer set up the instructions could have been more detailed. Some of the instructions were missing. I guess HP assumed it was intuitive. For that reason I gave the 4 star rating because HP said it was an easy set up and it wasn’t.
I've only had it for a little over a month and I love the smaller size compared to my 2 previous hp printers. The plastic trays are flimsy compared to the heavier old printers, but I'm getting used to it. I think I will like the ink tanks much better than the old, expensive ink cartridges as I can easily see how much ink is available. The only little problem I've had is being patient... my older printers responded much faster, but I am still very pleased for the most part with this smaller printer.
