    Great All-Around Home Printer For the price point, this printer is one of the best valued if not the best in my opinion. My household prints quite a bit, and yet the ink cartridges seem to be relatively untouched (something I cannot say about similarly priced HP printers..). Print quality is good, though I've only printed text and on normal paper, haven't used it to print pictures yet. The print speed could be better, but it's nothing that's deal breaking. I appreciate that the colored ink is separated between cyan, magenta,... read more

    Pleasantly surprised at how quickly this prints! Fair price for a simple printer I don't have a need to print anything very often and rarely if ever print photos, so I wanted a basic, lower priced printer. Based on the price (at the time it had been reduced some) and overall reviews, and that it was Chromebook compatible, and because free returns are offered if needed, I figured I'd purchase this Brother model.

    Well made inexpensive printer. Easy to setup and use. Scan straight to Dropbox, Google Drive and others and auto feed makes this printer really convenient.

    Buy with caution The printer is great in that it prints well. The quality is fine for me. My problems with it are that it’s fairly slow - especially if you’re doing a large job. And then it runs out of ink quickly and will not let you print anything until you change the cartridges that are low. Just not what I’m used to and pretty inconvenient.

    Just OK for the money. Just an OK printer. Easy to set up as wireless. Touch screen not as logical as my previous Brother printer. Had to crank up the print level to get good enough copies. The small sized ink cartridges are an insult when buying a NEW printer.

    Great Copier! Very happy with this printer. Clear copies, speedy printing and it does double-sided which my old one did not.
