Cons: Does Not Meet Expectations, flimsy construction, unreliable manual feed
Bought this to replace my stalwart Brother HL1435 which finally printed its last. I alternate between plain paper text printing and printing postage on Kraft #14 envelopes with my postage application. The manual feed mechanism is so minimal and flimsy that the envelopes consistently came out with crooked postage, even though I babysat each feed. The print settings were also confusing to me, but that might just be my mistake. I finally gave up on this printer after almost four weeks and returned it to Office Max. I bought the HL-5470DW instead, which was $150 more but worth it: No problem with the envelope feed at all, much more substantial construction. I appreciate the duplex printing in both printers--saves paper!
We needed to replace our old HP printers and wanted something with a smaller footprint due to space limitations. We now have four of these little gems and are very happy with their performance and reliability. Great product and great price!
Love this printer. I got so tired of outrageous ink prices. I set this upstairs for my wife, using the wifi feature. Easy to set up if you follow directions. Works perfect. I love the paper-saving duplex feature. For basic home use, the kids school use, etc, this is exactly what we needed. I wish it would automatically turn on when a file is sent to it, but that is a very minor inconvenience. The kids send files to it all the time from a wireless laptop.
