Pros:
1. Prints very well and fast. Documents and presentations look great but it's not a photo printer.
2. Scanning and copying look very good.
3. Rarely loses wi-fi connection. It's usually because there's a change on my router.
4. High yield toners last a long time. And with OEM toners, I've never had a spill or smudge.
Cons:
1. Canon OEM toners are the only ones that seem to work consistently in the machine. I've tried various 3rd party toners and they either leak or print horribly. If you buy this machine, I wouldn't bother with 3rd party toners and expect to pay for OEMs.
2. Never found any good deals for OEM toners. I ended up buying them through Staples with their store rewards credit. Which you then use to buy more toner.
It's a great machine, especially at $199. However, it may not include any toner cartridges (couldn't tell from the listing). I'd do the math on it before buying if you have to buy toner separately.

Also, with Toner Kingdom specifically, I emailed customer service and showed them a photo of the leaking cartridge and they sent me a new one for free.
We print mainly from Windows 10/11 computers, but i also print from my Samsung phone using the Canon app. We copy & scan (to our laptops) too.
It's been a great printer for us. and if our current one had a problem, I'd buy this one.
My advice is buy one! if it doesn't come with toner (which it should!), buy some OEM Canon ones to ensure they can't point to the toner cartridges if it has a problem. After that, I'd try the inexpensive ones from Amazon or wherever.

Eventually Lines splotches or faint black.
Just don't do it.
I also have what I assumed would be disposable HP inkjet.
I'm shocked generic ink working great OfficeJet Pro 9025e.
It was a SD refurb for under $100 so I figured roll dice. I only used ink in box to initialize. Never agree or setup hp account. Just got on wifi and using generic.
This HP isn't perfect but $30 of generic XL sometimes.
I only mention as HP ink is the lowest bar for rip off and jams etc.
At least the larger business class officejet is actually fast and doesn't jam. More important it side step NYC DOE iPad no print VPN blocking. Can new on school network for laptops and staff devices. Student locked down SLP etc device can use print direct.
Lots of $ on ink but if you get on sale can make some workflows flexibility

Is this site legitimate? That's a great price

DISCLAIMER: The model in this deal is the 741. I have the 753 which looks nearly identical, but does differ slightly, including the toner that each use.
According to ChatGPT, the 741 uses the 055 carts. My 753 uses the 069 carts. As such, I am not able to provide an exact apples:apples printer comparison. It's more like comparing Gala apples to Fuji apples.
My take: Potentially a pretty solid deal.
I've owned the MF753Cdw for a couple years now and have been overall happy with it. I've also walked two other people through getting the same model. You can ChatGPT the differences between my 753 and this 741.
Generally speaking, what some have said about 3rd party toner mostly matches my experience.
Canon-branded is 'spensive. (All OEM toner/ink is expensive.) 3rd party, not so much. However, I have yet to find any 3rd party that have the proper chip for the printer to acknowledge toner consumption. This also appears to impair the ability for the printer to do some self-calibrations. So if there's something wonky with the 3rd party cart that you installed, there's not much you can do to correct it. Example: my magenta toner seems to print with an offset of 1-2mm, which causes some ghosting during certain situations that use magenta. I've put maybe 80% effort into looking for a calibration solution, but haven't found one yet.
(I'm an Amazon Vine reviewer, so I have the good fortune of being able to try a variety of vendors for essentially zero cost.) (I saw someone in an early reply mention Toner Kingdom, so I may look at them next.)
Random thoughts/observations/recollections about my 753 model:
I have three printers in my house, and all of them are Canon right now. I have this exact laser, a Canon Tr8600 which is basically the best all in one InkJet printers (arguably it might be worth it to go for a tank printer instead, but I figured economical prints is what my laser is for, this has better all around features and size than any tank ones) and I have a Canon Pixma PRO-100 that I got on a slick deal for like $100 with about $70 worth of premium paper bundled with it. Unfortunately though, the PRO never worked with the standard 8.5 x 11 paper. The feeder mechanism is slightly broken and it jams up every time. I have used it for large format prints and direct to CD printing though, and it prints some absolutely GORGEOUS pictures.
Before that I had a Canon MX922 which was also a fantastic printer. It eventually failed because I stopped printing on it for a while and inkjet nozzles dry out if you don't print on them every month or so. I did the whole cleaning them out with ammonia based cleaner thing, and I got function restored, but it never printed photo quality again so I ended up junking it.
Epson was my favorite from 2000-2015 but they lost me when they got caught building in deliberate fail points especially in their "EcoTank" series.
Brother is only the best in terms of reliability is all I mean. If I were choosing again I would probably have bought a Brother for my laser printer as that is my workhorse that I just want to always function and do cheap prints. Their toner is much more reasonably priced, they have less issues with using off brand toner, and the printers themselves have almost twice the lifespan of any other brand.
The Canon is great, and I chose it specifically because it printed much better photo prints than the Brother, but that quality printing capability I paid for definitely is less consistent with just about any off brand toner, and their toner went from being very expensive when I bought the printer to so expensive the printer itself isn't worth it over the past few years. 150 for a set of toner is expensive, but doable. $700 is not.
Yes $700 is what they are currently asking for a complete set of high yield toner for this printer!!!

I was warned about the price of toner when I bought it, but I poo pooed it since toner is supposed to last so long and at the time it was nowhere near THIS bad.

If you scan a lot of different documents back to back it's PITA to go back every single time and select the recipient from address book, there is no shortcut option like one button scan and send.
You also can't make it default to double sided, it keeps going back to one side and it's again pain to go into menu and scroll because double side option in the options menu is in next page below so you have to scroll.
It's LOUD, just keeps whirring and clunking well after you are done printing.
For the price, I'd go with lower model brand new and avoid refurb.
