This machine has several really nice features. It does double sided - prints fast enough for personal and home office use. Hard to wake up sometimes when in sleep mode, but not a major issue.
disappointed in the alternate feeder port in the rear of the unit. A lot of difficulty and I can't use the envelope feeder in the rear of the unit at all- what a pain. Had I know I would not be purchased the unit
Have been a loyal HP Printer user for years. Got tired of always needing more ink as it seemed the ink low message occurred soon after new ink was installed. Tried this Brother MFC-J5830DW Printer - WOW! Absolutely no complaints and the ink seems to last so much longer than with the HP.
This is a great printer for a very small office or a consultant who does a lot of documentation. It has a good manual feed tray that holds multiple sheets for 11x17 paper, envelopes, and labels. I originally got a lower model of Brother printer, but exchanged for this one for the paper capacity, ease of loading paper, etc. Has actual buttons for the fax.
