Replacement
on March 2, 2016
Posted by: Valen
from Pittsburgh, PA
We purchased the prior HL-5450DN two years ago. It printed out 35,000 pages before an internal malfunction rendered it nonfunctional. This printer should have lasted to 100k pages and I called Brother, but was told it was out of warrant. Given other options, we decided to purchase another as a replacement. Would have liked to see Brother stand behind their product when it only reached a third of its life. Hopefully this one lasts the full 100k pages. It does work well in a mixed Windows/Apple environment. And plays well with iPads and iPhones.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Forced Replaceable Parts

Best inexpensive printer ever. But Brother FORCES you to change your toner - even though it still prints fine with the old one. There's a work around (using white out on the toner's sensors), but for the Drum, which costs nearly as much as the printer, there's no work around! You can reset the counter, but it still jams up! I used to get 125,000 prints from a toner that Brother said ran out after 25,000. But no more. So although the up front cost is minimal for the printer, you'll end up paying through the nose by the time you're done.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Brother HL-5450DN is a very excellent printer. The print quality is amazing. The printer prints really fast. The Brothe brand has always been at my work place and is a good product.

Excellent Laser Printer
on January 7, 2013
Posted by: HankCIO
from Southwest USA
Most of my printing is B&W and I prefer high speed: quick first page and a healthy page rate (pages per minute) after the first page. Among the laser printers, this is by far the best.
Very quick delivery of the first page in less that 9 seconds. When it runs a long job it delivers 40 pages per minute. Excellent paper handling. Lots of features.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great machine
on July 26, 2013
Posted by: deepthinker
I am a writer and absolutely love the double sided and four page booklet printing. Also, I like the way the front feed grabs a single piece of paper so it doesn't fall.
Some people complained about the unit blowing fuses, so I did not plug it into a power strip, but straight into a 15A wall outlet. Not one single problem!
Only minor thing I see is that the USB port on mine does not "grab" a cable as tightly as I would like.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Faster Than Expected
on April 28, 2015

Print quality is great and we really enjoy the duplex printing. Our printing comes out much faster than our previous printer and both sides at once is really great.
Only thing that I would change is the constant reminder from Brother that the toner is low. We have printed (no exaggeration) hundreds of pages while on "toner low alert" with no degradation in quality.
