I recently purchased a Brother brand printer, and it has proven to be a reliable workhorse with a few minor quirks. Here's my detailed review:
Setup & Connectivity: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)
The initial setup and Wi-Fi connectivity proved to be a bit challenging. Unlike some other printers that come with detailed instructions, the Brother printer's setup process felt less intuitive. Connecting it to Wi-Fi took a few attempts and required a bit of patience. It would be immensely helpful if the setup process were more user-friendly.
Cable Not Included: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
One notable drawback was the absence of a USB cable in the box. While many printers come with a USB cable for wired setup, this one didn't include one. This could be an inconvenience for users who prefer a wired connection or don't have a spare cable on hand. However, this is a minor issue as most setups nowadays are wireless.
Performance & Print Quality: ★★★★★ (5/5)
Once I had the printer up and running, it performed admirably. Printing quality was excellent, with sharp text and vibrant colors for photos. It handled various paper sizes and types with ease, making it suitable for both everyday document printing and occasional photo printing.
Speed & Efficiency: ★★★★★ (5/5)
The Brother printer proved to be impressively fast, particularly for its price range. It spat out pages with impressive speed and efficiency, which is a huge plus for busy households or small offices where time is of the essence.
Reliability & Durability: ★★★★★ (5/5)
Reliability is where this Brother printer truly shines. It consistently delivered crisp prints without paper jams or other hiccups. The build quality feels solid, suggesting that it should hold up well over time, making it a long-term investment.
Additional Features: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
The printer comes with a range of useful features, such as automatic duplex printing, which helps save on paper costs. It also has mobile printing capabilities, allowing you to print from your smartphone or tablet. However, some users might miss the absence of a touch screen or a more intuitive control panel.
Value for Money: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
Despite the initial setup challenges and the missing USB cable, the Brother brand printer offers excellent value for its price. Its performance, reliability, and print quality make it a strong contender in the market.
In conclusion, the Brother brand printer is a dependable workhorse that excels in performance, reliability, and print quality. While the setup process could be more user-friendly, and the absence of a USB cable was a minor inconvenience, these issues can be overcome with a bit of patience and an extra cable purchase. Once set up, this printer delivers exceptional results, making it a worthwhile investment for home or small office printing needs.
It would have been my fault to setup the wifi connect so I'm giving 5 stars overall.
Laser printers, for those who don't know, have a few major advantages over inkjets. The toner doesn't dry out like inkjet cartridges will, and they're much less expensive on a per-page basis. The downside is that they're usually black-and-white only in the budget range, so aren't any good for printing in colors, and don't do pictures well in general. What they excel at is printing lots of text or paperwork quickly for not a lot of money, and if that's your use case they do a great job.
This particular printer is a half-step up from the very cheapest of the type in that it can scan and copy. I can confirm both functions work fine. The scanning and copying is flatbed only; there is no document feeder for those functions, so if you're routinely going to be dealing with scanning or copying large documents routinely you'll quickly become frustrated, and should buy a model with a document feeder. If it's only a rare task for you or you're only copying a page or two most of the time, this is probably fine.
Print quality is good enough and I rarely if ever printed in color, so I don't think I'll be missing that feature much. The display panel is large enough and initially it is set to have an annoying beeping sound when making choices, but you can mute that. I scanned a couple of time and the quality seemed just okay, so far.
Overall, it is a solid build, good software, and reasonably priced for a laser printer.
First off, holy crap. It's big, but it's super easy to setup. Just peel off the plastic, insert the toner cartridge and paper, then plug in and turn on. Load up the accompanying CD with the drivers and you're ready to print in fifteen minutes or less; it's that easy.
The scans are sharp, the printing is fast and crisp. I'll never buy another HP. Brother is worth the value and the price, especially if you're on a strict budget like myself. You will not be disappointed!
