Customer Ratings & Reviews

was looking for a reliable, quality printer that didn't break the bank. This Consumer Reports recommended model fits the bill. We love it!

I’ve had a brother printer for years and decided to get the updated one. Everything seems to work fine right now and it was easy to setup.

Replaced an older Brother ink jet after nine years. J497 is a good machine, very easy to set up. Wifi works fine.

I love Brother products and bought this to replace an ageing and malfunctioning HP inkjet. This does a fantastic job of printing both black and white and color. The only drawback is that it sucks down ink like nobody's business. This thing runs through cartridges like grain through a goose, and we do very little printing each day. So I will recommend it, but beware of this drawback.

This printer was super easy to set up. Great features like double sided copies, color, and WIFI connectivity. The print quality is top notch for such an affordable printer.

Prints fast and clear. Wifi setup was easy. I have my wife, my mother-in-law and me hooked up to print. Expected it to be much slower than it is. Looks good too.

This product is okay easy to use easy to install the price is great will recommend to anyone.

This is a great printer. It prints quickly, quietly and with good quality. One of my favorite features is that it will print front and back.

I was looking for a printer for general printing and light office work and this one has been one of the better printers I’ve purchased.

Bought 2 of these for my girls, they said it was no problem hooking them up. I always likely Brother printers and will continue to buy them.

Great in the dorm saves from having to go to the library. Suite mates can share during study sessions and the ink is relatively inexpensive.

Got this primarily for the AirPrint capability, and it works great! Love the smaller footprint and the ease of set up. Loved it so much I got one for my mother too!

Good price to product, cheaper ink than most. All feature mfc Have used Brother for a while, give me less headache than others.

When I first brought this home it would jam on every other page. After about 60 pages of printing it straightened out. On the plus side it's miserly where it comes to ink. The fax function has worked flawlessly and is simple to set up. It is loud, and a touch slow, but at this price it would be hard to beat.

This has everything I need...printing, fax, scanning. Also compatible with printing from mobile devices and tablets.

Had no issues installing the printer. The wireless printing works very well. Can't get a better printer at the price I got it for (was on sale for $50 at the time).

Good printer. Ink cartridge kinda of a challenge to prepare and insert. But, printer is user friendly once set up properly .

This has been one of the better printers I have bought. Clean prints and rather quick doing so. Scanning is a bit slow but it does what it needs to!

Great low budget mid printer. Definitely ink is not expensive and prints great. Photos and pictures using glossy photo papers are also good.

Excellent printer and amazing ink quality. Easy replenish makes it easier to refill my ink, and it's pretty affordable compared to my past printers.
