Easy and Convenient
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features
This printer was purchased for a Lake house so we could use it using WIFI for the IPAD and smartphones. It was very inexpensive, easy to set up, very good quality prints and was extremely convenient for the wireless devices mentioned above. I would recommend without reservations.

Fast Scanning with Automatic Document Feeder
Pros: Easy to Use
The inktanks on my seven year old Canon Inkjet were running out. Replacing all four tanks typically costs upwards of $50.
For the price of these inktanks, I realized I could buy a brand new multifunction printer with Scan and Fax capabilities.
This is the first Brother product I've purchased since one of the electric typewriters/wordprocessors from the early 1990s.
So far so good.
Automatic document feeder for scan works like a charm. Copier is amazing too. Nice to have a "Xerox" machine on your desk. Being able to make quick copies of documents without having to power on a PC or fire up software is a great timesaver.
At the OfficeMax price for this product, you really can't go wrong.

Fast printing, easy setup
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features
Cons: a little flimsy
I purchased this online because of the low price. I don't do a lot of printing at home so I don't need anything heavy duty. It was very easy to set up the wireless. All the family's laptops are able to print to it. The speed and print quality are great. I've only had it a few weeks so I can't speak about how well it will hold up over time. It feels a little flimsy so I wouldn't recommend it for a lot of printing. But for my home office needs it seems to be a good fit so far.

Great inexpensive printer for general use.
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features
After 3 months I have absolutely no complaints about this all in one printer! I cannont understand why there were negative reviews other than the fact that there will always be one or two devices that end up having a problem when it comes to electronics.
This printer was inepensive and has met all of my needs. I would not hesitate to purchase again or recommend to a friend.

Print Head Issues
Cons: Does Not Meet Expectations
After 5 months of use, the print quality suddenly changed. After multiple cleanings and over an hour on the phone with customer service they agreed to replace it with a remanufactured unit. However, the replacement has the same quality issue with the black ink, and I am still dealing with customer service. I had another Brother All-in-One machine for 4 years, never had an issue except the paper feed mechanism was wearing out. This machine uses a lot more ink (99% of the time I use lowest quality ink-saver print settings), and I have gone through one whole set of ink doing the cleanings. Aside from that, it was easy to set up and it does work well on wireless and fax. The scanner quality is just average. But based on the printing quality issue I cannot recommend.

awesome product
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations
I chose to purchase this printer because ink is a lot cheaper than other brands. Setting up wireless connection was very easy. Printing jobs are awesome with docs, pictures not too good because of visible lines. Does not have usb or memory card slot but it's not a big deal. Replacing ink cartridges is also very easy. Great purchase all in all!

First Brother Printer I've Used
Pros: Easy to Use, Features
I was originally concerned that this printer seemed a little flimsy and might have to be treated with extreme care. After using for a while, that doesn't seem to be too much of an issue. So far I have copied & printed with good results. Rarely fax anything, so can't comment on faxing at this time.
I've heard from others that this printer isn't fussy about using generic cartridges, but I haven't tried this yet.

Better than expected
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features
Read others reviews and was concerned about set-up, but was easier than my other past printers to set-up. Very nice printer, especialy for the sale price$59. Blows away the piece o junk canon i had for $199 that constantly errored out. Like the sleep mode option, so i dont have to manualy go to and turn it on.

Junk printer
Cons: Does Not Meet Expectations
I bought this printer as a Christmas present for my wife, she is a teacher and does a ton of printing. We had another printer that I wanted to use all of the ink for before we started using this one, so we hadn't started using it until Feb. Well after printing enough to finish the black cartridge that came with it we tried to install a new one, well the printer just says "cartridge not dectected" No matter what we do it will not go away. So now we are stuck with a $99 paper weight.

Great
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features
The set up for wireless printing was pretty difficult but that may just be the type of wireless internet that I have. I have a laptop not a desk top. Print quality is great and super fast. Its pretty heavy so it doesn't sit on top of my desk but on the side/ floor .

Better than I expected
Pros: Easy to Use, Meets Expectations, Features, price and value
The price I paid for this printer had me believing I was getting a basic, no frills printer. To my surprise after just 2 days with this printer I could not be more delighted. The built in set up wizard faultlessly installed to my wireless router and the cd downloaded easily to 2 of my laptop computers. My 3rd computer is a netbook and does not have a cd drive so I went online to brother.com and downloaded the drivers in no time at all and all 3 of them printed first time without need for any adjustment. Then to top it all I found an app for my iphone which allowed me to send and print pictures from my camera roll wirelessly.
I thoroughly recommend this printer to anyone looking for a real workhorse of a printer that will be a pleasure to own.

unbelievable machine for the money
I haven't used this machine for faxes, but the copy and print features are great. One feature is different---the usb connector is on the inside of machine--raise the lid and its toward the front.

Tough Install
Pros: Features
Cons: Set up
The fastest printer I've owned and with great quality. BUT only with a UBS cable. I spent two days trying to set it up to my wireless network to no avail. The instructions couldn't be more complicated. Supposed to be for a modern office but no envelope shute or instructions on how to print an envelope.

Software for ONLY 2 COMPUTERS?
Cons: only 2 computers can use it?
Unless somebody can tell me otherwise, Brother says that I can load the software on ONLY 2 computers. Why? Why can't I put the software on a 3rd computer? All I want to do is simple printing - nothing fancy.
Okay quality - the Koday printer I had did fantastic PHOTOS. I hope it will last longer than the Kodak did. So far, so good. Worth the money if I could use it on a 3rd computer (using wireless network).
