Very Satisfied with this purchase

This is a all around great product. The printer itself is very reliable. I have not had any problems with paper feeding, either from the tray or the feed scanner. The software package that comes with the drivers is also very good. Allowing you to adjust the settings, send faxes and even scan from any computer over the network. Notifications are also sent to all the computers.
In my opinion Brother printing products are much more efficient and reliable than the comparable HP counterparts.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent, But I Miss My Old DCP1000

I bought this printer to replace an old Bro DCP1000. I loved that machine, but after several years, it died and I found it difficult to find parts.
Anyway after doing much research decided to go with the 8890DW. WOW! This thing is really good! I usually do not believe all the hype in reviews, but this thing is a blazing fast printer and scans like a running greyhound. Duplex is very good and quick. Fax very fast.
The only con is that it is bulky and loud, but because of performance, these are minor. I recommend to anyone needing an upgrade.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Brother MFC-8890 DW Review
on July 3, 2010
Posted by: DaveW
from New Hampshire
I set up this unit about 3 weeks ago. I haven't used all of it's features yet but what I have done is printing, faxing, and copying. The lift up top seems rather light and flexible but still works fine. The copy and print and faxing set up allows you to set up a range of adjustments as to print quality, contrast, resolution, etc. and works well. The unit is fast when copying, faxing, or printing. Print quality is good. I am well pleased with this unit and would buy it again.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice Quality Machine
on July 18, 2011
Posted by: WhoCaresWhoIAm
This All-in-One was very easy to set up. Quickly recognized on my MacAir. Copy and Print functions are much faster than the machine it replaced. The print quality is very good. I purchased for the ports and wireless capability. I selected Brother because the construction of the unit is much better quality than the brand I replaced is now making.
It is much louder than the machine it replaced although I cannot hear it in other rooms when printing wirelessly.
Drum costs are expensive although I did find a good site that offers remanufactured at a lower cost.
After doing much research, I selected this machine over the other brands because of the case quality and features. I am NOT disappointed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It does everything its supposed to do EXCEPT scan color documents, which is at least 25% of its function. Steer clear
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

MFC-8890DW Review
on August 3, 2011
Posted by: BR549
Easy install, excellent performance with the exception that all of my envelopes have multiply hard creases embossed upon then during the printing process. Apparently the envelops are restricted laterally during the printing process and the feed rollers are bearing down with so much pressure that the envelopes are not being allowed to expand laterally during the printing process!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best for Mac
on August 10, 2011

We mainly run Macs and this is the most cost effective long term printer you can purchase. Our Brother 8840D is nearly 8 years old and still runs like a charm. This was not a replacement but an upgrade. The ink savings alone will make this a sound investment that pays for itself over time. The fax, copy, and being able to scan over a wireless connection are just icing on the cake!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love it!

I had a Brother MFC-8640D with the optional NC-9100h network card (both purchased ~2005) and loved it. I'm a relatively light home user. I mostly used the copier and network printer features, about 10 pages per week or so. The few times I needed to fax or scan something, it was right there and worked great! The automatic document feeder and duplex printing were "must" features for me and always worked perfectly. At least with my use, the high-capacity toner cartridges last a couple of years. I loved my MFC-8640D and would still be using it today. Unfortunately a nasty lightning strike took it out! Grrrr! With zero hesitation, I turned to the MFC-8480DN as a replacement. At the last minute, I found a great deal on the MFC-8890DW (reviewed here), and bought it instead. It offers two major features over the 8480DN: built-in Wi-Fi and duplex *scanning/copying*. My old 8640D and the new 8480DN can automatically *print* duplex, and can scan/copy duplex with the caveat that you have to run your originals through the feeder twice (once for the odd pages, then flip the stack over and run it through again for the even pages). For my relatively light use that was fine, but the 8890DW is totally slick -- its feeder does all the duplexing automatically! Just load it up, select your copy options on the keypad, and press Start! Very cool! Thank you, Brother!
