Horrible printer for office use.
I purchased this printer because of the reviews and that it seemed like a decent printer. After using it in an office setting it is the slowest printing printer that I have used and it goes through ink way quicker than any other printer I have used. If I could return this and go back to a HP printer I would. I regret the purchase and would not advise anyone to purchase...

Too slow for an office printer
It is too slow for an office printer it curls up envelope and card stock documents which is not very presentable.

One sided printer only
The Printer seems like it would be really helpful. Except that it doesn't do the things it claims to do. The print on both sides feature, will either print twice on the same side, OR flip the 2nd side upside down so you'd have to turn the page over completely to read it. It does not matter if you choose flip by Long Side or Short Side. Both do the same exact problem...

Solid printer for regular printing
This is a relatively large heavy printer and it isn't as flashy looking as some of its competitors (HP). The touch display is not very responsive either. Aside from that it has been generally pretty easy to set up and use. It can churn out pages at a quick pace and making copies is quick and easy - much faster than our old HP MFP. Color ink is I think the same or ...

I am excited we have our replacement machine. Our other one went out when we had a power surge at the office. This works great and was reasonably priced!

Love this printer!
Have had this model for years - just replaced one last month with the same model. The only problem I seems to be having is when printing in Windows 11 it sometimes puts out an error code if you try to print too quickly between items.

Doesn't work; terrible support
Within three months of installing this printer it began to fail. Smudging all along one edge shadow repeats of text pink shading on any color printed page toner that won't bond and is rubbed off on your hands. SEVERAL attempts to contact Brother to exchange it under warranty and still no satisfaction. THREE hours of "troubleshooting" repeating the same steps. Pri...

Great printer at a reasonable price
I was in the market to upgrade to a color printer from my MFC-L5850DW and it was between this and the EcoTank ET-5170/5180. Ultimately I went with this as my printing habits aren't well suited for an inkjet printer (plus the extra PPM when I do print is extremely nice) and I didn't feel like ruining a $600+ investment. Sure the EcoTank would have had better cost per pri...

Economical Complete Business Solution
Brothers decision to allow OEM toner products is a key differentiator to the competition, especially HP and Canon. This product performs without issue and scanning speed is excellent. As a plus, the color coverage does not overutiluze the toner.
