Any Toshiba e-STUDIO A3 machine (I'm looking at you 2540C!!).
Stupidly heavy (handles only on *one* side, so lifting is a nightmare! Plus - even just moving it on the floor is a pain!), unnecessarily wide, looks ugly and are a pain to service (they don't seem to have a word for 'modular' in Toshiba world!).
That is allComment

This is easy...Canon IRC 3100/3170 series!Rotating developer, clutch issues on toner supply so DV units get over packed and lock up. Jamming on right side due to door not shutting properly...should I go on! LOL!

Since the title of this thread ends with the word "ever" you have to consider back to the old days of e-stat machines. I remember one from Apeco (American Photocopy Equipment COmpany) called the Dial-A-Matic. It had a rotary telephone type dial where you dialed in the number of copies you wanted. Techs called it the Dial-A-Jam.Comment

Ricoh Metis range of turdlings.
destroyed a good range with a pile of shite. Failing fusers, transfere units, paper feed drives, dev units - even new out of the box screwed. Flimsy materials & bend quicker than limbo dancer!
grade 1 pike of crap & I'm a ashamed to have to apologise for them being so bad to the customer & make up some excuse.
No amount of firmware or upgrades will fix these awful money pits!Comment

Re: Which copier was the biggest piece of crap ever?
I've replaced a couple of duplex units, but I think the fusers are more reliable than the 02 range (of course, nothing is as reliable as the 01 range), haven't had many PCU/dev unit problems, only problem I've had with paper feed unit is low paper actuator coming off. Had to replace a couple of ITB units, and had 2 or 3 cleaning units back up, I blame the standard of servicing in the MidlandsThere are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary maths and those who don'tComment

Weakest point, in my opinion, is internal finishers, exit tray being knocked out of position and the stapler harnessThere are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary maths and those who don'tComment
