So far the printer is good but the store was awful
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Im so disappointed with best buy on this purchase. I bought this printer on line, said it would be ready in a couple of hours. It was closing time so I went first thing the next morning. The printer was ready but they didn’t have the ink I bought to go with it. I checked the shelves and they had a couple of small pkgs of black and no color. After I waited for the only sales person to finish helping a customer with 101 questions I was able to get his attention. He had no idea if the ink was on order but assured me that another cartridge would work, I purchased it and had them ship my prior purchase. In my opinion if you only have one person on the sales floor at least have product on the shelf. A printer works so much better when it has ink in it. I’m very frustrated with their lack of interest in trying to help their customers. In closing, Brother printers are great!

Good printer but set-up on a mac should be easier

Great Printer for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good I like this printer but just like all printers the ink is way to expensive to replace I don't get it it's almost worth just buying a new printer then buying ink

Great printer for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Printer works great, and love that you can hook it up to wifi, and print from anywhere. Ink cartridges aren't extremely common, but they're not hard to find online for a decent price.

Order at your own peril
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best All in One Printers you will ever use and find. Great on ink. Never gives an issue. LET ME TELL YOU WHY THE ONE STAR REVIEW. Very difficult to find during these pathetic times we are all experiencing. Once available, they get sold quick. I happen to see it available a day ago, but delivery was too far out. As I kept refreshing the page, the date of delivery became closer, than it finally showed next day. I ordered it. And of course in Bestbuy fashion, in the middle of the night it says delivery will be delayed. Just like other companies Bestbuy deceives you into thinking you will get it when they state you will, only to bamboozle you by extending the delivery date to one not yet established. Take your money, but you don't get a printer when they said you would. Office Depot did the same thing to me recently, and I am still struggling to get my money back from them. Pathetic. Terrible business practice by these companies.

Great for price
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to use. Says it’s out of ink before it is, so ignore that, but doesn’t eat ink, like a previous printer.
