Kyocera ECOSYS vs Canon imageRUNNER — Full Comparison
These are the two most popular photocopier brands in Kenyan offices. Both are excellent machines but they suit different needs. Here is our honest comparison based on years of selling and servicing both brands.
Running Costs
Kyocera wins. Kyocera ECOSYS printers use long-life components — the drum, developer and fuser last much longer than Canon equivalents. This means significantly lower cost per page over time.
Print Speed
Similar. Both brands offer models from 20 to 55 ppm. The Canon iR2206 does 20 ppm while the Kyocera M2135dn does 35 ppm at a similar price point.
Paper Handling
Canon wins for heavy users. Canon imageRUNNER models generally have larger paper capacities and more paper tray options for high-volume environments.
Spare Parts Availability in Kenya
Kyocera wins in Kenya. We are the leading source of Kyocera spare parts in Kenya. Genuine Kyocera parts are readily available and our technicians are certified on all ECOSYS models.
Initial Purchase Price
Similar. Entry-level models from both brands start at similar prices in Kenya. Kyocera tends to be slightly more expensive upfront but saves money over time.
Our Recommendation
For most Kenyan offices, we recommend Kyocera ECOSYS. The lower running costs and better spare parts availability in Kenya make it the smarter long-term investment.
If you need A3 copying on a tight budget, the Canon imageRUNNER 2206 is an excellent choice.
