Good all in one option
This is printer is the perfect size to fit in the space I use for my home office. It fits on top of my printer stand and was easy to set up. The printer itself is easy to use and set up. The print jobs have all been great quality. They are clear with no smudges. Copies practically look like the original. It is a good option for an all in one printer.

Don't buy this.
Very difficult to connect to the Wi-Fi, disconnects regularly. After about a year it disconnected and I could not get it reconnected. The Brother software and apps is complete garbage from the 90s. I would rather have something with a cable than this as once it disconnects trying to get it reconnected takes hours sometimes. I have wasted 3 hours today trying to get it r...

Great all around printer
After going through a few frustrating printers over the years, this multifunction printer has been a welcome change. Setting it up was surprisingly simple; I was up and running in about five minutes straight out of the box. The instructions were clear, and it connected to our Wi-Fi without any hassle.

What I need and wanted
I recently received the Brother Inkvestment 1365 Wireless Inkjet All-in-One Printer, and it has truly made my life easier. The setup process was quick and seamless thanks to the Brother Mobile Connect app, which made getting started effortless.

Best and easiest printer
I was so nervous to set this printer up, but it was super easy! No need to download drivers, no need to set it up- the printer literally sets itself up! Unbearably good! So easy and fast! And it doubles as a scanner too! So far I ve been using it to print homework for my kids and the printer delivers every time . Super fast print and colors are super vibrant. And on top...

Great quality so far!
Great printer so far! The quality of the printing is A1 and love how much smaller this printer is compared to the one I already had. The display is decent, tiny screen though. I love that the slot for the ink is in the front and you don’t have to bother moving the printer. Totally recommend for someone looking for an at home printer.

Difficult to install
Very difficult to install. First problem that I have was how to take the paper tray out. Need an hour to finally figure that out. Second problem was the error with the ink keep displaying on the screen. I still havent figured out how to fix the problem. Very frustrated with the installation

A good basic printer for home use
A very nice printer basic printer. Does not have a sheet feeder, and does not do double-sided copying, but for a home printer, it's a fine printer and a good buy.

Quiet
I was surprised at how quiet it is while running, which makes a huge difference compared to my old one. The setup was super simple thanks to the dedicated app. Everything connected smoothly without any hassle. Printing is fast, the colors look great, and the automatic duplex feature is a big time saver.

Internet Free Printer
The Brother printer turned out better than we expected. We wanted a printer where we weren't tied to the internet and this fit the bill. it is just a peripheral device and you just plug in your laptop and Voila - you are printing.

Very good printer
Compact printer but quality is still top notch. Compared to its older brothers, it is super easy to set up and operate. The wifi connection is very good and quick. Print speed is fast, but ink quality is right there.

Trash
Bought this. Worked fine for a while randomly one day it decided the tray was no longer attached it hadn’t been removed and was in fact still in the printer. The printer hasn’t worked since then and is slated for disposal.

ZERO Stars if Possible - Worst Printer I've owned
I’m incredibly frustrated with this printer—it’s excessively high-maintenance. You have to clean the print head nearly every time you use it to avoid faint lines in the output. Worse, most of the ink gets used up cleaning the print head rather than producing printed pages. On top of that, the faint lines make the first drafts illegible, wasting even more paper. Avoid an...
