Awesome

Faxing outside of your home is expensive. Theres times when you don't need it but when you need it you have to make time then spend the money. Did that for years, now no worries.

Fast and easy to use

This machine was very simple to set up for our home office. It's very fast both with feeding the sheets into memory and in sending faxes. The cartridge is good for thousands of pages so needs to be changed less often. We are very happy with this purchase.

A real workhorse!

This replaced my 20 year old Brother laser/fax. I no longer use the fax feature, but this is a very economical black laser printer! Be aware the starter toner cartridge doesn't last long--you'll need to buy one right away. I hope this lasts even half as long as the Brother machine it is replacing! Tip: Don't use third-party toner/drums-stick with Brother accessories. (and I use Epson eco-tank printers when I need color-they are also incredible and very economical)

Great Printer for Old School Land line

Customer Service was horrible from Brothers. You need a dedicated land-line for the fax to operate properly. I have VOIP which is computer based.

Over priced and not competitive with others

The price of this refurbished printer was high compared to others I later found - only $40 less than a new one - there are more choices for good refurbished models for far less - I feel gouged
