    Very low yield ink cartridge and noisy to operate I had the printer for about a month. My son is in high school and we have been printing color reports using color inks from this new printer and using my laserjet for the black ink print outs. I just got a "low black ink" warning even though we hardly used the black ink on this printer. The printer was only around $79 but the new black ink is selling for $23 which will last me about 6 weeks. It is also quite noisy as the machine vibrates and makes some sort of piston noise.

    Does what its supposed to do! It does its job! I use the app to print all the stuff from my phone that I need. Its amazing for me. The ink is cheap too! What more could I ask for. I'm not a heavy user but I haven't had any issues.

    Just right for home printing Likes: (Amazon) delivered this the same day I ordered it in the morning ! So near-immediate use of printing at home ! Clean, clear copies; ease to sneak in colored paper and labels (upside down). Quiet "clicking" sound, so I know it is working, but not annoying loud sound.

Directions in booklet clear but could use a bit more deta... read more

    Satisfied So far so good. I like that I can scan to cloud storage like google drive or Dropbox. Haven’t printed photo yet. So far the ink hasn’t dried up and needed to auto clean like my Epson used to; wasted so much ink.

    Great! I had only Canon printers in the past, more than six! After the last one broke without being used much, I decided to try a new brand. Thankfully I did! This Brother is so much better! Thank you!!

    It’s a great all in one printer I disliked nothing about this printer, it works very well. Very functional for what I need in a printer an it doesn’t take up a lot of room. I’m using it for my small business.

    Worked well It worked, the ink was provided and most printer I buy do not. It was pretty user friendly. I like how it’s compact and square. It’s a little of a lengthy process to connect to WiFi but once you do you’re good to go.

    Fast, clear printing Easy to set up and link to my MacBook, lPad and phone. Fast printing. Photos are ok but not like a high end printer, but adequate. I like it

    Brother printer J491DW I have always liked Brother printer. I really like this because of the size and the cartridges are reasonable.
