Drum expires quickly
on May 13, 2020
Posted by: atrctte
I went with a toner based printer to invest more money up front but i was hopeful that this would pay off with toner being less expensive than ink. I wonder however if they make that cost up in the drums. My drum lasted only a few months before the quality went to unreadable. It's very disappointing as these drums are incredibly expensive.

What a waste of money

The black drum went bad almost immediately. It costs half the price of the printer.

Where is the ink!!!
on August 17, 2020
Posted by: Mrs Hunley
from GA
I used the ink that came with printer.... Okay we all know that the started inks dont last no biggie. But um when I pay for legit ink I expect to get EVERY SINGLE PAGE PRINTED it promises. Nope it does not. I have a 500 pack of paper and only half way through and im OUT OF INK. I am legit looking into the generic toners because $125 is not ideal. I cant not recommend brother. Until they actually give what they advertise.

Expensive paperweight
on February 2, 2022
Posted by: kiansi
from North Dakota
I've had this expensive laser printer for a year. I have printed a total of 480 pages, mostly black-and-white, and not a single page could be considered a clean print. The color text on the test print pages is sharp, but all of the pages are covered by a layer of black/gray streaks. I've done the recommended cleaning step-by-step on several occasions hoping for a legible print and have only been disappointed each time. The black cartridge seems to be malfunctioning. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to locate a place where I can buy only a black cartridge. I can only find them available together with all the other colors, which I do not need. I expected a better product from a seasoned company.

Nowhere near 18,000, not even 1,800
on May 21, 2020
Posted by: CLeeOC
from Orange County, Ca
Started using this printer l about 3 months ago and have gone through less than 4 reams of paper and it's already out. So less than 1,800 pages if I had to guess, a far cry from the 18,000 that is promised. Most of my documents are standard word docs and emails, nothing majorly graphical. Very disappointing.

Ran out of ink
on April 20, 2020
Posted by: Effmeister
from CA
I have not even gone through a brick of paper which is 500 pages. I must have only printed 200 pages of just plain text with no graphics. They are not telling us the truth about the page capacity as much as 18,000 pages. Maybe if you print one word per page!!! Very disappointing.
Response from brother-usa.comBy BrotherCustomer ServiceApril 21, 2020
Hi, I'll be happy to assist you with the yield not as expected.
The estimated drum life is approximately 18,000 pages when printing on Letter or A4 size paper. Here's the toner yield below:

Save your money

from Godfrey, Il.
This printer MFC-L3770CDW is the worst printer we have purchased for our company. It makes no difference how many drums are toners you buy. Print quality is terrible. Barely visible no matter if Black or White or Color. If you wish to use it as a door stop it would be a great buy.

Very disappointing. I would have thought the company's QC program would have been better than it obviously is.
