    This printer is really nice for the price. It's slower than my old HP but the difference in the price of ink cartridges more than makes up for waiting for a paper to print.

    This is a great multi-function printer! It was easy to install on our wifi network and has effortlessly supported all of our devices: iPad, MAC mini, PC desktop and laptop. Scanning and copying are both easy and great quality.

    so far so good...hope it holds up in the long run. Bought because it was recommended for ink efficiency. Prints fast enough and clarity is great. Haven't tried photos yet. Don't love that I have to pull the tray out to load paper - a lot of trouble if I have a blank sheet I want to reload. One glitch it that it will occasionally print 3 copies when only one is selected.

    It was easy to connect with an older computer. Clear step by step instructions. Not sure if fax is working, though. I've tried to send fax without success.

    The Best Buy associate that "tried" to help me was rude. Despite him, I bought this to replace another Brother fax we had and this one works just as good. Great quality!

    This is the perfect size for a small desk. We wanted a printer, that had all of the necessities, but didn't take up the whole desk. So far, we are very happy with the way it prints, scans, and copies!!!

    I purchased this printer to replace an older Cannon printer that was guzzling through ink cartridges. So far, this printer has been great - have printed out many documents (including tax return docs) in both color and black and white - and the cartridge consumption has been minimal. Print quality has been perfect for printing out documents, have not attempted photo printing. Wireless capabilities have worked very well - specifically on my Apple devices.

    Prints wirelessly from iPhones, kindle tablets, and MacBooks with no problems. It's a good size, not too big. We have used all features except the fax. We returned 2 all-in-ones before settling on this one. This one performs much better than the other two (different brands) that were nearly double in price. We like it.

    I bought this on sale quite a while ago and kept it in the box until my old printer died and I had used up all of the ink. This printer works great better than my older more expensive printer, and the ink is much more affordable. I like that you change out a color yellow cyan black or whatever instead of the whole ink cartridge ...that makes a lot more sense to me. Would buy it again.

    So far so good! Great printer for small to mid size jobs. Print quality is good for a inkjet. Beware however the cost of inkjet cartridges will catch up with you

    This printer was easy to setup. Connected to WiFi without any problem. No problems printing from laptop via WiFi. Printing from tablet required Brother print app. Copy and scan worked fine. Was able to scan directly to email although this took a little bit to figure out. Wish scan to email could be done with a single press of a button. Did not use fax feature. Print quality is good.

    Pros: cheap, relatively small for an all-in-one, Airprint and Google Cloud Print work great, has paper tray. Cons: none yet Other things of note: may be a little complicated for some people to set up. It wasn't bad for me, but I can see where some may find it confusing. I don't print that much, so print speed doesn't matter too much to me, it isn't super fast though. I've had a lot of positive experience with Brother products in the past, and this lives up to my expectations.

    Haven't tried fax but have printed and scanned numerous items and it's worked great. Setting it up over Wifi on my computer was a breeze and my husband (whose computer does not have Wifi) is using Wifi over the modem to print to it as well. It's compact and fits under my nightstand perfectly. Wish it held a little more paper but I knew that when I bought it. I'd recommend it!
