Brother MFC-L8900 Printer
on November 2, 2017
Posted by: ReneeE838185
from Dublin, OH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. To start:Opening the box and removing the printer was easy with the exception of the clips. There was more effort than expected to push them to open them. Lifting the printer and moving it into place took more effort than just a Admin Assistant.Removing the packing in the printer was easy and straight forward based on the directions provided. The one area of concern was the amount of space needed to access the back of the printer. Since there is a door in the back I was uncertain how much clearance would be needed if I ever need to access it.Configuration also worked well but our particular setup doesn`t have a CD so we needed to search for the software on the Brother site. Since there are a number of similar printers it took a while to determine which one. The installation went well after that.Printer setup for the Wifi network worked although there should be a discussion between static and Dynamic IP addressing for those that are more technical. I left the setup using DHCP so we haven`t seen what will happen once the network changes and the IP for the printer changes.Printer warmup and print speeds are acceptable since our print volumes are not consistent.Faxing and Scanning have also worked well in our testing. WE typically do not have high volumes of either.I have not reviewed the cost of supplies so I cannot provide a update on those. Overall the printer is very build, easy to install, and operates well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It is a pain opening the back to print a envelope.

Great Machine - Unsure of toner life
on November 22, 2017

Say these higher end Brother machines are great performers. I'm sensing the toner is not lasting as long as advertised, but have yet to quantify for sure.
Keep in mind that one full set of genuine toners costs more than the purchase price of this machine. If you can stand paying for the toner, you should definitely buy this machine.

Works Great!

Easy setup and very fast. Some criticize the front and back doors, but they allow you to print cards and such without so much curl.

Great Printer!
on December 22, 2017

The MFC-L8900CDW is an outstanding printer! Colors are very true. I highly recommend it after having used a black and white laser printer for more than six years. The new printer also replaced a four year old inkjet color printer which was a constant nuisance --- filling or replacing cartridges every few weeks, and was messy and unpredictable.

Great functionality
on December 27, 2017

Having one brother's unit for 7 years, I decided to upgrade to this model. I love the LED display and find it easier to get info than on the older model. Everything is just as good EXCEPT this unit does not seem to retain my WIFI connection. When the printer goes "to sleep" or so it seems, it does not exhibit the constant connectivity my older model had. I am finding it frustrating to have to "reconnect" when I am in a hurry to print something. I would recommend with this qualification.
