Why it's buy-it-for-life
An owner of about five years says the pricier EcoTank models are good quality, contrasting them with cheaper EcoTank units they found to be garbage, and notes reasonable ink pack costs with no per-page subscription.
What owners say
A commenter who has owned an ET-8700 for about five years says the $500 EcoTank models are garbage but the $900-1000 model is good quality, with reasonably priced ink packs and no subscription, adding you spend more upfront for that quality.

If you want to spend real money, I got an Epson ET8700 - ecotank, inkjet. No razor blade model. Ink packs are reasonable... The expensive one (paid $900-$1000 originally?) is good quality.
