I love this printer & the ease of use. Scanning 
& copying are my most important used features!

Straightforward to use.

This printer produces high quality prints and scans and I probably use it for scanning old photos more than printing. I don't use the printer very much, though I have in the past. I do have difficulty getting it to print by clicking on the printer icon in the various sites I visit where I am interesting in printing the content of the page or partial content.

High quality prints and scans.

Reliable, quality printing at a reasonable price. Love the 2 sided printing, saves a ton of paper. Has easy to read and understand display/control panel, makes completing printing tasks a snap.

Did I mention its Wireless

This is a good printer for the money I paid! The toner refills are expensive.

Good Printer/Expensive Toner

A good printer but if you use expect to pay for ink. Which you cant find in stores usually. I always have to order. Ink is reasonably priced. I have had a hard time installing because i cant find the password to download the updates.

Good

Slow printing, difficult to set up and get fax, print and scan to work correctly

another choice as 1010 might be better

Quite work one month out of warranty. In my opinion do not buy.

Do not purchase

First time I have been disappointed in a Brother product. Very slow printing; too small paper tray. Returned printer. Decided to repair my Brother HL-L2380DW

Disappointed

The printer started off ok - just pretty slow.
About 18 months in, print quality diminished, despite barely any use.
Scanner quality is barely average.
Within 2 years, printer is useless - wont print color at all despite wasting money on all new cartridges. Do not Recommend

Slow, short life span

Horrible product waste of time returned it within first 3 days. Ink leaked and ruined pair of sweatpants. Customer care/tech support could have cared less. The supposed "starter" ink was not in the box and had to buy ink. The printer is slower than molasses going up hill in December. If you can afford to avoid this product, spend a little bit more and get something of quality.

Pay a bit more on better product skip Brother's

Works well except for occasional paper jam and wireless problems. Works better on usb.

MFC-J491DW

Would give it 5 stars, if it had a USB port, for my phone. Having to go wi-fi all of the time gets old, to take a picture then print it up, would be great .

Great Work Printer HANDS DOWN!

Easy to use, reasonably priced ink, love this printer

Love

Reliable and easy to set up. I don't need or want a printer with a large tank for ink.

Great Printer

Great product, easy to use.  Copies come out perfect.

Great product

A little complicated for this old man (87.5 but after a while I got the hang of it.

If an old guy can use it...

Great reliable printer that works very quickly. The only drawback is it?s very loud.

Great printer a little loud though

A great printer that works flawlessly over the past year.  The features I like include: double sided printing; scan feeder; tilted control panel; ink cartridges are easy to install and reasonably priced.  On a mac, I needed to down load Brother's app in order to use the scanner but it also worked great (and much better than mac's standard scanner interface).

I do not like my Brother Printer.

Unless all ink cartridges are full all the time, you cannot print in black and white.  In fact, you cannot print or copy at all!  It is difficult to even turn the printer off!

Useless!

I still love Brother products but this printer is giving me a lot of problems. Right now it says my ink door is open and it isn?t.  Have to work on it a lot

Okay

I'm a bit upset, not able to install my Microsoft Window XP to this printer. I cannot use this printer with Windows XP, they do not have any printers compatible with this windows version.

It's okay.

I have loved Brother for 21 years, only buy Brother, unbelivably great Customer Support!  But I tried to skimp because I had moved 1500 miles from my other Printer - this is no good. It rattles lie it's a rocket ship about to take off.  It jams the paper 9 times out of ten.  It takes a really long time to print one page.  Save your money and get something else- Another BROTHER!!

I hate this thing

Prints out clear images and set-up was really easy. I think it?s cool that I can easily print from my IPhone as well. No issues so far :

Does the job

Does good job easy to use but by?????????. I ???.??

Easy to use

Printer has all the necessary features but the replacement inks are expensive and consumption is on the higher side

Good Features

It took a bit to get it to scan and I have to set it to fine to get print to come out normal.

Works well, resolution is light

Best printer I've ever had. It's a workhorse and is very economical. I recommend it to all my friends and family.

Love it!

My daughter purchased an HP ENVY5070 very rarely would it print. I couldn?t wait to get another Brother printer. Now I?m HAPPY

LOVE IT!!!

Everything is right there in that small rectangular black box!

It simply works!  I like ?Keep it simple.?

I have been a loyal Epson owner for over 10 years. I automatically went back to Epson when I needed a new printer.  My sister told me about her Brother and how much she liked it. So glad I listened to her.  Love the way it loads paper. I print a lot of color for art projects. Very pleased with results. I had a lot of Epson ink left over, but it was worth the loss of the ink to get this much superior printer.
