The issue with cheap (<1000 EUR) color laser printers seem to be that you will throw them out once you use up the supplied cartridges.

Either 1) you won't be able get new cartridges because of model churn 2) new cartridges will cost more than a new printer or 3) even with new cartridges your printouts will be unusable because the transfer drum/fuser/paper feeder will be worn out at that point.

In my opinion, for that kind of money you're better off buying a high-end inkjet if you need color printing.
