    I've had other brands and the quality of Brother printers compared to other brands is superior. Some of the things I like, are the speed of printing and the multifunctional capabilities of the printer. I like that, it's wireless and can be hardwired at the same time. I can fax, scan and make copies on the printer. Not to mention the app works great on my Android phone. And even if I don't install the app, my phone has great default printer propertie, which work well with brother printers. But I don't like that this printer is color. If it only came in black that would allow people to purchase less ink instead of having to purchase all colors, just to print in black only. I had my previous one for about 8 years.

    Changed from a 10 year old Epson (which I loved). This Brother was easy to set up. Prints fast and good quality. Great for a home office. So far the ink that came with it is lasting a while. Also helpful.

    For the price, this printer is fine. I had to call customer support to connect to wifi and it can be a bit wonky, but so far, the pages are printing well.

    I purchased the Brothers MFC-J1010DW printer about two weeks ago and so far very satisfied. I had a little trouble with the set up , some of it was my problem and some was a little confusing. After the initial set up, things were quite easy to use and the print quality is very good. The best thing is their refresh program for the ink. I signed up right away, even though I don’t do a lot of printing. In the past, I would generally replace my ink cartridges on my old canon about every eight or nine months. With the refresh subscription, I don’t have to worry about printing in color or not because they have already sent me a new set of cartridges, even though I barely started to use it. I am on their occasional use plan for only $1.99 a month. You can change anytime if you think you need more than the 25 copies that it allows. at my current usage level that will cost me about $20 to change to new cartridges. Couldn’t be happier.

    Very compact compared to other's in its price (i.e. Epson, Canon, HP, etc) and while it's all plastic everything is designed for a tight tolerance. One big warning - if you plan to hook it up to a desktop or laptop via USB the connection is INSIDE the printer and you need a thin printer cable (not included) to close the printer after you put the cable inside a little cable guide which then sticks out the side. It's good that it has 4 individual cartridges (although it doesn't look like they hold a lot of ink) so you can replace them one at a time (Black, Magenta, Cyan, Yellow). They also bug you about their "Subscription Ink" service - they usually are not in your favor no matter how much their marketing says it is. Buy the Cartridges when you need them (you can have spares on hand when they run out) and you get good deals on Black XL and packaged with a set of color cartridges. Also, downloading all the software and installing it on a PC took around 20-30 minutes.

    One of the best printers I've ever owned

    This printer is perfect for me. My previous printer attempted to force me to use THEIR ink replacement cartridges, so, that was always a battle. This printer's setup was pretty easy and the printer itself has all the options I need, plus it has a much smaller footprint. I appreciate that the paper output tray does not use a large amount of my desk space. The flatbed and paper cartridge feed input for the scanner works exactly as it should. It's somewhat quiet and prints fast enough for me, as a home user. The software is more comprehensive than other brands. It allows you to change, on the fly, the type of file you want for your output (image, PDF, etc.) and also allows you to set which software is the default to open your file. My previous printer (hotel papa) constantly tried to disallow the usage of default Windows settings and force you to use their rudimentary software. The only con for me is that it does not have a touchscreen. Not a big deal but, when you are setting it up for the first time, it takes a few minutes to figure out which button to push and where it is. The print quality itself has very sharp colors and dries quickly (no smearing on regular paper). The direct print from email option is pretty cool. Hint: be sure to safeguard your (customizable) email-to-print address as, someone might accidentally send their regular email to your printer (using up paper and ink). I have never been able to figure out how to fax from home but, this printer's fax option looks pretty straightforward. All in all, this is a great home-use printer. And, because of the price of ink (compared to others) makes the purchase of this Brother MFC-J1010DW a no-brainer.

    Great...except for ADF faxing larger documents

    Bought to replace a very similar 10 year old Brother All in One. Setup was easy, printing was fine, but trying to fax two 20 page documents using the ADF took 26 tries... Jammed paper, skipped pages, over and over despite following all the instructions and suggestions. I never had any problem with the other Brother so I was unprepared--and realllllly frustrated. I'm hoping it was a matter of paper thickness and if I use a higher quality paper that's also not so slick next time it might not be an issue. I'm happy with the printer for daily use and since I don't have to send such large documents very often, it meets my needs. I do miss the older version of the top that closed over the ADF feeder though, to make a solid surface that kept dust and cat hair out. I'm using a storage box lid to cover it when not in use; just the right size if anyone else might have the same issue...

    Very satisfied with this printer from Brothers. Its much better than the HP printer that cost over $100 more that I previously had before this one. Easy to setup, Print from your phone, PC, tablets, laptops with ease. Printing in color looks very good as well. Ink refills are very affordable. No regrets with this purchase.

    My latest Brother inkjet…

    So far so good! No problems configuring for wireless printing with my Windows 10 laptops or my iPhone. Print’s nice and quickly.. not very loud either. For barely over $100 I don’t know how you can beat it. Was going to buy a $500 laser but after buying cartridges for the laser I would be in for well over $700 So I thought about it and even if it only lasts 2 years I’m going to come out ahead. My last Brother inkjet lasted around 10 years and had heavy scanning use and moderate printing use. I had to replace it because the inkjets must have gotten irreparably clogged. I replaced the ink cartridges but still no go. I figured if the last Brother inkjet lasted that long… why not get this at such a low price. Again.. works great so far. Just can’t justify the cost for laser. Your mileage may vary…

    Good printer overall, seems a bit flimsy compared to past Brother printers I’ve owned but works fine. Print quality is good even if printing is a bit slow. Overall pleased with the purchase/love the ink program!
