Customer Ratings & Reviews

Prints super fast, sharp, and consistent every time. Setup was quick and easy, and it connects perfectly over Wi-Fi. I’ve printed dozens of pages without a single jam or issue. Toner lasts a long time and the print quality stays professional. Great value for anyone who needs a dependable black-and-white printer.

Very easy to set up and works like a champ! Can’t beat the value for a Lazer printer.

The Brother printer is reliable, fast, and easy to set up. The print quality is excellent for both documents and photos. It’s affordable to maintain, and wireless printing works flawlessly. Highly recommend for home or office use

The printer was simple to set up and works with my Android phone, iPhone and Macbook. I know it will be expensive to replace the roller/ink supply, but I'm only an occasional printer, so it's fine. I like the smaller size, too.

This is a new purchase so I’ve not really used it extensively yet. But so far: It is a compact, sleek design, which I really like. I printed a few test pages and they have come out fine. I’ve always had ink jet printers before this, but I really like the idea of having a laser printer. I had a problem with the password and updating the firmware which could have given this a three star review, but the customer service was so superb I can’t let that affect my rating. I was in an online chat with a customer service representative for well over an hour. Tedious, to be sure, but the representative was so thoughtful and considerate, and stuck with me until we resolved the issues. So, all in all, with the price and the design and so far a good print quality I am very happy with this purchase.

The product was delivered nicely, no damages, it works well, it's easy to use, I'd recommend this if you're just printing docs.

Good price, compact, very easy on the eyes. Just having a little printing out from cell phone. Much easier on lab top.

This is genuinely the best printer out of all the printers I had before. I love how fast it prints compared to other printers. I don’t need to be standing there for 30 seconds. It just takes 1-3 seconds to print and I LOVE LOVE how the design is so minimalist and convenient.

This printer is very useful. I'm definitely satisfied with it.

Have not quite figured out how to do the Wi-Fi but I have printed a few pages hardwired and it seems to work well. Price was right and I don't need color printing anymore so hopefully I can print over 1300 Pages before I need to replace the cartridge. At an average of 20 pages a month that should last me until I don't care about using it anymore.

After years of using inkjet printers with expensive ink cartridges that constantly dry out I found out that laser printers ink doesn't dry out. I dont use my printer a lot but it's nice to know when I do need to print something i can. Only con is this is just a printer no copy or scan but that wasn't a dealer breaker for me

Printer was very easy to set up. My wife used the remote wireless feature almost immediately. I have been using the hard wired print feature exclusively. I works easier then I anticipated.

Internet setup is a bit painstaking with minimal controls (do not press enter until you know the password/network key is correct or else you will have to do it all over again!!) but once setup, it is perfect!

I prefer to work with laser printers only. I’ve tried others but nothing performs quite the same like a good laser printer. First of the size is a really good fit for a smaller desktop or smaller office. which I have small office, 10’ by 10’. The setup is super easy. Open the cartridge and insert the ink cartridge. It should sit in or slide in and clip fairly easy. I’m sure you could break of a plastic piece pretty Do not force it. It might be going in incorrectly Plug it in and turn it on. Wait a few seconds and scan the bar code at top. Set up via the app and you are ready to go. The printing speed is decent, nothing overly outstanding. The printing functions are simple and easy to understand. It’s not super quiet and it not extra noisy. So I don’t think they will be an issue The color is a nice grayish black and will work with any decor. If that’s something you care about. If not than this is a really good basic printer for any family or really small business The ink is my fave feature being one cartridge

Works great, very happy with this product. Much better than the Hewlett Packard product I was using. It was easy to install. It is quiet and easy to use. This printer fit easily in the space I had. It is light weight and does not leave an odor on the paper.

Out of the box its just what you would expect from Brother, a no frills basic cube style laser printer. It's the brand and product that count here. I know a lot of companies are trying to make eye catching printers but you pay a lot extra for that. I'm just waiting for them to be built into the PC case, then we will be set, a literal all in one device. Set up was almost great, I had a hard time getting it to connect through the app and had to reset it once to get it findable with the bluetooth. Once through that issue and after downloading the app and plug in I was rocking and rolling, printing from the phone has basic print options like any other printer. Prints fast and quiet and holds tons of paper, 250 sheets to be exact. Has an additional slot out front for alternative sized paper. This printer is small and reasonable enough for a nice mobile print station to keep on the back seat for your mobile office. Brother has a auto toner EZ print subscription service so you never have to bother about forgetting to order it or not having one on hand when needed. We all have tons of things to do, this is one less item to worry about. Inexpensive, fast, quality you'd expect from Brother, it's a no brainer purchase.

I bought this laser printer because I was tired of the expense for ink on the inkjet. I am pleased with my purchase - it was easy to set-up - but I do not use the wi-fi connection because our internet is sporadic. I connected the printer directly to the computer with a printer cord. The pages print quickly and look great. I am very happy with my purchase.

I have been very happy with my purchase of the "brother" printer. It is easy to operate, prints very well, and is a eye pleasing piece of equipment. What is else is there to say except the price was reasonable, its works very well, good looking, and I have not had any problems with it. I recommend it wholeheartedly without reservations.

I do not believe that Brother has made a device I have not “liked.” Now, I like some more than others, but Brother has to be one of the most reliable printer manufacturers out there. In my experience, their products have worked for many years and usually work very well. The HL-L2405W laser printer is no exception. When properly set up, it works very well. Prints are clean, dark, and fast. I personally had some issues with the set up of this printer, but once it was working, I really liked the print quality. Setup: Following the printer instructions, I set the printer up with an Android phone. In theory, you can connect the printer to your wi-fi network using the thin, tiny, arrow only control display. But practically, that was a bit of a nightmare. Thankfully, phone set up was pretty simple and I was online in no time. Experience: I originally thought set up would be easy. My Windows 11 PC detected the printer in no time and a driver was installed and running pretty quickly. However, trying to update the firmware on my Windows 11 PC resulted in timeout problems. I was only able to update the firmware after I used my smartphone to perform the procedure. Also, while technically functional, the stock drivers that come with Windows 11 are not particularly good for this printer. I had random artifacts during prints. One artifact resulted in what looked like a hole punch in the top right of every other page. I never had these problems when printing with my phone or an iPad via Airprint. Eventually, after some headaches, I installed the updated driver from Brother’s website. That improved the feature set and print quality immensely. So, if you are having problems with your prints on Windows 11, make sure you have the latest driver. Installing the driver-only installation was a bit tricky as I had to add the device and search for driver download and it was a bit finicky. Save yourself the headache, install the full printer feature package before you set the printer up. Outside of a rocky start, the print quality has been exceptionally good. The 1200DPIHQ setting looks great. Prints on MACs look good. The printer is fast. Compared to some other laser printers, the HL-L2405W produced a much darker print on the same paper. I thought the gradient range was good, but the printer was darker than other laser printers I had used in the past. I noticed few lines or defects in the print. After printing close to 100 pages, I found I had used ten percent of my toner. Brother advertises up to 1200pages on the non-XL toner and I am getting close to that. Brother also has a subscription service to replenish toner. I like the idea in theory, but I am not a fan of extra subscriptions at the moment. But the printer came with a few free months of the service. I also like the fact that there is a separate tray for envelopes and smaller print jobs. My only other con is that I wish this had automatic duplex printing. I feel like that should be a standard feature for a printer used in a small office setting, but that is just me. Conclusion: This is a quick laser printer. Prints look dark and crisp. My only complaint is that Windows 11 driver setup seemed a bit more difficult than it should have been. I had some initial defects in prints using the stock Windows 11 drivers. All-in-all, I like the printer. Prints are good. At this price, it is a solid machine. 4/5

Needed a printer to replace an older one. Decided to keep it simple since 99% of the time we just need to print in black and white. Easy setup and have had no problems. Print quality is more than good enough for what we need it for, and no more dealing with buying or refilling ink cartridges.
