Easy set up on my home network. Works well with desktop Mac, iPad and Android phone. Print is crisp and clear, even fine details in color show up clear and sharp. Best feature: affordable replacement cartridges. Very pleased!

Defective product. Horrendous customer service. Would not provide refund even when covered under warranty. Second bad experience with Brother.

Ive been super happy with this printer, its quick & clean looking, smaller size than my previous printer but most importantly the prints look great and it works flawlessly every time.

Great printer. I was pretty easy to setup it didn't take long at all. I am not very savvy when it comes internet, Wi-Fi, trouble shooting etc. so this wasn't bad at all. My only problem is I have been trying to print photos 5x7 and I cannot figure out how to change the size for the photo paper. I have read and re-read manuals, instructions, even YouTube. Probably will end up calling Brother for assistance

Printer works ok but prefer printer with scanning and fax capability. Pricy for non laser printer with limited functionality. Other issue is printing of eSCL/ScannerStatus HHTO/1.1 notifications. Irritating and unwanted. Have yet to find a way to stop the printer from printing these notifications. Seems every time I boot the computer I get one. Also when I print a document I get one of these notifications. Wastes a lot of paper. Should be a setting to option out of continuous notifications.

I have considered returning this product and probably will. I have two significant issues and one lesser issue. The manual or bypass tray doesn't function properly most of the time, it typically indicates there is a paper jam instead of feeding the paper through. There isn't an actual pull out tray of any kind to support the paper and I think that might be part of the problem. I also just discovered that when I feed envelopes through, it wrinkles and distorts them, leaving them looking unprofessional. Lastly, I've noticed the resolution is more "fuzzy" instead of crisp and clear.

Printer will not stay connected to wifi and the color isn't very good. Any blue saturates the picture. Wouldn't buy this again.

The model HL3230cdw has proven to be excellent. I have read the reviews before my decision to purchase it. It never failed to tackle the workload I have pressed upon everyday.

Bought this printer to replace an inexpensive HP color laser because HP's toner cost more than this printer. Printer works fine and is easy to set up but the quality of the print is below that of the HP both in brightness and sharpness.

The Brother line has been a long time favorite. This one gets the job done for me.

I spent a lot of time researching printers before choosing the HL-L3230CDW for use in a small business setting. Reviews for this printer were very good, and it has the features I need. New toner cartridges are reasonably priced, a major consideration for me, and I can chose two-sided printing, which I needed and my old printer did poorly. It's also very quiet, something that couldn't be said the for the old Dell it replaced. The only downsides are A) somewhat slow processing speed before it prints and B) slightly clunky envelope printing. Other than that, I'm very pleased with this printer.

Good printer, we could pictures with the exceptions of the Wi-Fi was too tedious to set up. The Wi-Fi chip refuse recognize the home network. For some reason wi-Fi chip refused to recognize the Internet in my house even though all other hand sets and all other electronics detects the network.

A great printer to have for a home office. Software is not supported by Brother Canada though and changing print options are limited since the Apple formatting only allows for AirPrint. Unable to use draft mode in printing choices. Costly mistakes in this purchase for the future.

Excellent laser printer for my home office. Its fast, has great color, its easy to load the paper, and there are no issues. The WiFi connectivity is great, and the wired Ethernet connection is solid.

I have been using Brother products for many years. Products are great quality. Support is fantastic!

Wonderful to print on demand, without having to first do a nozzle cleaning for clogged ink or fix poor print quality. As an infrequent user this laser printer is great. Text is sharp and color is more than adequate for my use.

Great clean text; graphics is also good. Manual tray could be larger to fully hold a sheet of paper. Manual feed can be tricky at times. Still a great printer for the price.

I ordered this almost a year ago and it worked for 6 months and then jammed up and gave an error, support will not help you unless you use certified brother products so after amazon lied to me about real brother parts I returned that and now I just now got the full brother toner set, so maybe I can get it fixed or replaced now.

The printer is perfect for what I need, the only problem has if you brought over sea, the power issue it work with 110V. I suggest Hp to change to international plugs 110v/220v thanks

This printer replaced my old Brother printer. The new one is also excellent and will easily print envelopes. Good value for the price.

This printer was not purchased as a main, or heavy use, printer. To date, the copies that we have printed have been great. Color is clear and accurate, with no bleeding or any adverse results.

Very good printer for the cost. It was very easy to set it up and start using it. I like that I can now print 2-sided documents. The print quality is great. It is also a lot quieter than my old printer.
A very solid performer, if maybe a little slow.
