Customer Reviews

Excellent Value
This machine performs numerous important functions, and a great value for the money. Easy to set up. We have it for home use and haven't expected it to make more than a few copies at a time. Quality of printing is all I'd expect from a home machine.

Great product. Great support.
I have had this printer for the past 11 months and is perfect for my home office. I have had no problems getting this to work with Mac, XP, and Vista operating systems. Print quality is excellent. Scan quality is excellent. Having a networked printer is fantastic and I'll never own a non-networked printer after owning this.

In the 11th month my printer started making a loud grinding noise. I called Brother support and a new printer was shipped out. I wish other companies had product support as good as Brother's.

All in all, great printer. I'm very happy with mine.

Great AIO printer, little disappointed with build quality
Purchased in June, 2006. Unit performed great while it worked but paper feed mechanism broke in August 2008. Toner low message just started showing so I estimate usage at ~2,500 pages over the past 2 years. Closer examination of unit shows that plastic hinge holding down plastic gear is broken causing gear to not make contact with screw mechanism. Plastic gear also shows some wear from use. Unit is 1yr 3 months out of warranty.

I'm a bit torn as to whether I'll send the unit in for repair or move on to a new unit. I've been very impressed with it while it worked but was hoping that it would last for more than 2,500 pages before breaking. IMO, it was a poor design choice to use cheap plastic on such a high stress part.
