Brother - FAX-575 Fax/Phone/Copier - Black

Omg i should have purchased my 575 Fax a long time ago, it saves me time and money, 1.00 a page outside!!! As i stated in my summary i luv it, doesn't take up a lot of space,and the fax is very quiet which is a plus.

Needed a new fax machine because the old one did not have cartridges available.

good price and good design. I like the deal very much

This was for my senior parents who don't need a fax very often. They are comfortable with their older computer and printer. What is best about this is the availability of advanced features, but the ease with they can be ignored. The fact they rarely need it make the ribbon a plus over a print cartridge. They can also re-use the ribbon a few times, which folks of their generation are going to try to do regardless. This was extremely easy to set up and use. I love the fact it is wired into the answering machine and will automatically pick the mode to use. I was able to set up it up and leave it. Very nice to be able to do. Got all this for 29.99. For what we needed, it is perfect! You want all the bells and whistles and constant use and high speed, this isn't it. But if infrequent use is your thing, and you can wait a whole minute every once in a while, this machine can't be beat.

If you need a FAX only ocassionally, like me, this may be for you, too. Could not find a well-rated 4 function printer so I bought 3 function HP 4520 printer and this separate FAX machines. Small foot-print since the paper stands up at slant at back of machine, works well and has a clear phone-although the hand set is a bit small-ish, but not any worse than some cell phones. Most importantly, it integrated nicely with my V-tech phone/answering macine. Will take over call to allow fax to be sent on same line. Has just enough features to be plenty functional and prints/copies well. Good solution for me.

This fax machine is a decent product for light duty work in the home or office. Whether you fax one page or multiple, it works well. The copy function is ok but better to use an actual copier for nicer copies. Paper feed of your documents is touchy. Sometimes it pulls the papers in a little crooked. Make sure the paper adjustments are set tightly against the paper before sending them through. Because of this I'm rating it 4 stars. Overall a nice little machine for light duty work.

I had the occasion to fax multiple documents to one location. I put no more than 6 documents in the machine for faxing. Although it did the job, there were a few times when the machine printed out an error message, saying it couldn't complete the job (for one of the documents), due to "poor line condition". I had to refax those papers, amounting to doing over 4 documents. Otherwise, the machine worked just fine.

I am very happy with my fax machine. It works with Magic Jack so is very inexpensive. I bought toner refills online from Brother directly. I have a dedicated line now for fax but I can use the phone for outgoing calls with no problem. I rarely have to use fax anymore because I scan to email whenever possible. However, it is good to have the fax when I need it.
