I had two Cannon ink cartridge printers back-to-back...I LITERRALY used the first one maybe five times before I had to throw it away....bought another, used maybe six times, and it was done...waste of money. This Brother laser printer is PERFECT! No issues -- no paper jams!! Good value!!
I bought this to replace my previous Brother laser printer, which finally gave up the ghost after many (10+) years. I've had this new printer for several months and it is a great little machine. It's compact, quiet, fast and I particularly like the dual side printing. The only reason(s) for a 4 star vs 5 star rating is the location of the control panel - a very small display on the upper left top of the machine; if you have the machine located anywhere other than at eye level it is almost impossible to see. Because this machine is also wireless, allowing you to put it anywhere, I like to put mine on the bottom shelf in my office where it is out of the way. So if I need to see the display panel, I have to pull the printer out. I also had a bit of difficulty getting the wireless function to work (which is the reason I purchased this model rather than a less expensive one that did not offer wireless). That could very well have been a problem on my part rather than with the printer; luckily I have a tech savvy son who was able to get that function up and running. Even he had a bit of a hard time doing it, though, as you have to scroll through the tiny display screen to enter wifi network information. Other than the initial set up snafu, it has worked superbly since then, allowing me to print from my chromebook, iPad, iPhone and desktop. Very pleased!
The printer took me a little time to set up, I have not had any problems printing. When I go to print it goes immediately wirelessly and I'm done. It's Great!
Lightening fast. Was easy to set up without cables or manual by using YouTube videos provided by random people. My son gave me this almost new machine when he moved overseas, but cables and manual not included. Online Brothers instructions very poor and incomplete. YouTube awesome.
I had a Brother All-In-One and found that I really liked it, in addition to the fact that I was not getting hijacked for very expensive cartridges every 3 mo, so I went for an inexpensive laser wireless. I love them both!
