I got this printer mostly for its scanning capabilities. It scans very slowly, and it's a little complicated if you don't want to install the drivers (which I didn't want to do). But the quality of the scans are excellent. It is also a nice compact size considering you can scan multiple pages at once. Usually those all-in-one machines are much larger.

I'm so glad I got this printer. The ink is more sensible, the interface is so much easier (than my prior printer), and it'll do everything I need it to. The software is simple, and it isn't a pain at all to hook up. Plus, I got it on sale for 50 off. It wouldn't make sense not to buy it.

I have had pretty bad experiences with printers. I have owned and epson printer that worked pretty good for less than a year all of a sudden anything I printed cane out funny. I noticed with this printer it’s easier to use and connecting is easier. I haven’t had it for too long but, it is keeping up with all the paperwork I print out for work and it’s a lot!

This Brother all-in-one printer is compact, reasonably priced and does a great job. I had been looking for a replacement color printer for an older model Brother printer which lasted for years and this model is a great replacement.
The wireless feature works well and I love being able to print from my iPad and phone using the iPrint and Scan app for Brother.

I've had this for over a year. I like that it can be set up remotely, and all of my computers have connected to it just fine. I've also been able to scan a few multiple page documents and have the machine email the documents to me. Ink is a little expensive, but it is not too bad.

You won’t find a better printer for the money. It has all the bells and whistles you care about like AirPrint and is economical enough for occasional home office printing. I have been using Brother printers for years and they are always hassle-free to setup and use with any device. I also find them to be the longest lasting printers around.

I really like this printer. I was surprised at how easy it was to set up. It also alerts you when it needs an update, plus the ink cartridges are really reasonably priced. No more paying almost 100 mucks for ink! And the Brother printing app works great! No wonder this printer is hard to find. Great buy

I've had this printer for several months now and am very pleased with it. Print jobs are very clear, precise and of excellent quality.
It was a very easy set up and installation and I was printing within minutes of bringing the printer home after purchasing it. I use this printer on a regular, weekly basis and it fits my needs perfectly.

My Canon printer suffered a life ending malfunction suddenly and without warning so i decided to purchase a new printer rather than have the other printer repaired. Best Buy had this Brother printer on sale and it fits my needs perfectly. The quality of the print and the ease of use made it a worthwhile purchase.

Bought this wireless printer to upgrade our home printer. It took about an hour to set up, but it has been great to be able to print wirelessly from my I-Pad and IPhone which I couldn’t do with my previous Brother printer. I feel it was a great choice for a non complicated home printer. I like that I can also fax, copy or print from this printer.

Easy to use, ink last very well. This is one of the cheaper printer which actually work good. I had an HP $30 printer which wouldn't even auto align. Printing was a nightmare.
I can print from my phone and all of my devices wireless. Super easy and can see the ink amount anytime from my computer.

This product works great. I got it as a gift for someone and it is easy to use and works great. This particular printer in this brand works well, though this is not usually what I say about this brand. Please stay away from Brother overall, but this particular printer works great.

We have had this over a year now. It works great but I think it uses just a tad more ink than I would like. It was easy set up. Prints well. For the money I say it is a good deal.

The printer does a very good job and easy to set up and run. Ink is some of the cheapest to replace and love that I can print both sides. About the only down fall I have is picture quality isn't the best. I didn't buy it for pictures so I'm extremely happy with it.

This is a great Brother! It is very affordable for everything it offers you, and it works on both PC and Mac OS, and on your iPhone there is no app needed; it will use AirPrint!
The scanner yields great quality for photos, and lets you customize the scan resolution for preferred quality.
It is a durable machine and looks quality made. It has a USB option if needed, and the display screen can be tilted for improved visual access-very smart.
I also love the ability to manipulate the settings for brightness of the LCD display, and the volume of the beeps when you press a button (you can also turn off sounds altogether).
As far as a long term investment, I also feel Brother has an advantage in the price of their ink cartridges (do a quick search for yourself and compare to other brands ink prices...wow).
Overall this is a 5 star device, and I love the wireless options for printing across a multitude of devices. But it today!!

Easy to setup, easy to use. Nice to have a printer that produces copies as soon as the button is pushed. I don't need to use a printer a lot, but need one that could do a variety of things when needed. Did my research. This one fits the bill without spending too much.
