Customer Ratings & Reviews

I maintain an elderly widow's computer in Springfield, MO. For several years, she had an Epson inkjet printer that used puncture-style ink cartridges. She seldom printed anything, and the day finally came where the black ink dried up inside the chamber of the permanent print head. She practically never printed in color, if she used the printer at all. After she learned the danger of neglected printers with non-integrated cartridges, I talked her into getting a simple laser printer. The least expensive unit available was a familiar Brother B&W laser printer. I bought it, hooked it up, and voila! Now, she doesn't have to buy four new ink cartridges every time she wants to use the printer, after probably printing less than 20 pages (and all in B&W). I've been using Brother laser printers for at least a decade. I've had mine at home for over five years, if not close to 10. I believe I've replaced the toner cartridge once. Still works. P.S.: the printer may be a bit confusing for average users. It often has to be awakened from "deep sleep" before you can print. Also, if you use WiFi, you may have to reconnect the printer to the network after a blackout. If you print from multiple devices, and are a non-technical user, you might want to get a model that supports Ethernet, which this one doesn't. You could designate a computer as a print server and connect the printer via USB, but it'd be easier to just get a different model. ;)

I needed a second printer for my home, and chose to buy the Brother HL-L2405W, based on previous experience with owning a Brother printer HL-L2440DW for over 5 years, which is still working fine! The printer is affordable and versatile. I can send print command from my iPhone and notebook. It has a small footprint hence suitable for small spaces. Brother also provides great backup and services including regular updates, This printer is highly recommended, and you can order from Best Buy who will deliver to your home free of charge.

This is a fantastic value for a printer. If you are in business, stop wasting money on inkjets for colors you don't need and cartridges that dry out or go empty too fast. This printer does one thing well: it prints beautifully and quickly in black. If you print in mostly black, get this and save yourself tons of money. I have an earlier model that was *given* to me 15 years ago because it needed a new drum. I reset the drum counter, used it until it was just too rough to use, then replaced it, and have put 3-4 toners in it in that amount of time (I don't print a lot). The beautiful thing is that this thing can sit on a shelf for a year until I need it, and when I plug it in, it turns on, I print, and it works. Try that with an inkjet and you'll be spending $80 on cartridges every time. No thanks.

This Brother black and white laser printer is fast, reliable, and produces sharp prints every time. Perfect for home or office use!

Great product printing is crispy. But the set up was frustrating especially to connect to WiFi other than that it is working great.

This is a great laser printer, and it works great; however, it was difficult to set up. Do NOT use the mobile connect app that is provided with the set-up paperwork. I strongly suggest downloading the driver from the Brother website, and be sure to use the same Wi-Fi address on your laptop and phone. Once you do this, it was a breeze, and it works great! Definitely worth the effort!

Excellent little printer, priced really well. I do look forward to getting away from the ink sucking inkjet printers…. And black only. Instructions for setup were a little weak. The digital interface for setup (getting on wifi) were primitive, but once it is done, don’t need to do it again.

I did mind my previous printer Wasting all my time Even if I was standing oh so near to it I would kinda lose my mind, trying to get it to work. But this Brother printer works great, easy setup easy to use. It is just what I needed.

Was very easy to set up. Works well. Fast Shipping.

I was looking for a small, basic, reliable black and white printer for occasional documents, mailing labels and such. This has been perfect.

Semi easy to setup! (I’m 69). Working excellent smooth and quiet. Invoices look great , couldn’t ask for a better printer . For our purposes.

I've owned Brother printers and they are the best brand to buy! Affordable and they last a long time. Easy to use and the laser printer works flawlessly. This one is a present for my daughter and I know she will be delighted.

I absolutely love this printer. It was easy to set up and does what it’s suppose to do. Great product for good price.

The internet was right: just buy this printer. It works. It's got AirPrint; it spits out prints super-fast. It's reliable. And very easy to set up and use.

Love this printer! Excellent results and would totally recommend it

It does what we want it to do. I've had Brother printers for years, and have been able to rely on them to last.

The wireless printer was easy to assemble and works well with volume of copies needed.

Great size for a small apartment, prints fast and good quality!

quality printer you can sync up with your phone remotely to check how much toner is left & to update software. Super fast from time you sent print to printer & when the printer actually prints. Brother has stepped up with this new model

I bought this because I got tired of buying ink every month. I print a lot and I haven’t had to change the toner yet! Good price. It’s also extremely easy to connect this via Bluetooth/WiFi.
