Drums only - No toner
These are 4 drums only. There is NO toner. If you need toner, this is not what you are looking for.

Waste of money lack of providing what was needed!
Wanted one drum and had to buy 4 - what a waste!

Drum replacement
I thought it was going to be very difficult.
The Staples tech told me to get it and didn't need a new printer.
Very easyinstall!

I never received the drum unit that I ordered.
I ordered this, but never received it. I waited for a month to hear back from Brother when I let them know that I hadn’t received it and I kept getting the message that they were looking into it. I still need it, but they said they will be refunding my money. I don’t know why they couldn’t have sent me another one . It doesn’t make sense to me.

Drum replacement
Directions were straightforward and included in the replacements. I only had difficulty understanding how to reset the drum spec. The video online helped.

Worth it
Really didn't want to spend over $600 to replace my printer, so installing these fixed the drum issues I had been having for several weeks. Worth the money.

Drum Unit for a printer
The printer is working well now that we replaced the drum unit. It is not hard to replace, just follow the directions of where the colors go and the black one goes.

Easy to change/ printing not great
Changing the drums was fairly easy. The packaging is clearly marked. My issue is there is an area in the middle of pages that is lighter than the rest of the pages. Some words are difficult to make out. The toner is fairly new. I don’t want to buy a new printer after investing in new drum units.

stressfully situation
I had difficulty getting the printer to recognize the drums were new. I had to reset some settings and now I get continuous errors that one or more cartridges is not installed properly. I believe the drums were defective and when trying to get the representatives to acknowledge that I go no where

Only needed one
Works fine, but I didn't need a full set of four. I only needed one (for the black toner).

Brother drum unit replacements
I ordered the wrong part numbers and Staples was very timely with the return and refund policy. The correct part numbers were ordered and printer was up and running and refund was back to me. Very clean process. Thanks

Seems to be working but installation was a nightmare
It’s hard to review these. They either work or they don’t. They seem to be working now but installation was a nightmare. A 4-pack box of drums should contain 4 identical drums. I installed the first one. Easy. Then I installed the second and third ones. Easy as well. But when I tried to put the toner into the fourth one it would not set into place. I finally figured out...
