Get over it people
I am sorry, but I came here to get constructive reviews for this printer and toner. But I see that first thing is people complaining about supply. Do you realize we are in a pandemic which impacts everyone. Every supply chain on the planet has been impacted (remember the toilet paper shortage. These supply chains are run by people, people that are susceptible to COVI...

I get maybe a few hundred prints
I purchased two of these printers for my office and I’ve had to replace these toner cartridges after a few hundred prints at most. I think it’s too convenient that brother claims up to* 2,300 prints when in regular use we’re averaging 20% of what’s claimed. I bought these printers hoping to save money in the long term and may now have to replace them.

Just what I needed
Facing an imminent deadline when my black toner stopped working, I was relieved to find that Staples had just what I needed--but only one in stock. I prepaid online and headed out to pick it up at the store.

Rethink this
This doesn't yield 3000 prints. 500 at most is what it will print

Great Service!
I went into Staples and was helped by Jasmine. Her customer service was amazing as she helped me get the best deal on my purchase of toner and a box of paper showing me how to price match it online. She was friendly, and very efficient! A super employee!

GREAT SERVICE
I had a Brother TN-227 toner cartridge in a sealed box with intact security seal that had the cartridge bag opened and an old cartridge inserted. I can’t figure out how that was done, but my Staples store simply replaced it with a new cartridge. One can not ask for better.

No longer needed
The Brother all in one color laser printer died before I could install the new toner cartridge.

High Volume. High Yield, Better Service People
I print 100s of pages at a time, and the 227 minimizes trips to purchase more toner. But even better was the Staples team who made sure it was the right cartridge, re-explained installing and created a sense of support for whatever troubleshooting I might need in the future.

Will enjoy getting 3000 (plus or minus) pages from this product . . . though I believe I paid more than $78.99 + tax. DID I pay more than necessary.
Let me say something here about your Staples staff at your Decatur, Alabama, location. They are ALWAYS a pleasure in my business interactions with them! Please pass that on to these folks. EMH

Useless Waste of Money
My Brother printer does not recognize these cartridges. I spent a lot of money on one of each color of the high yield and now none of them work. These are genuine Brother cartridges in my Brother printer, yet somehow they don't work with one another. These are useless. Before buying these cartridges, just save yourself the time and money and buy another brand printer. I...
