Community Reviews

Brother's compact black and white laser all in one line is praised for long service life, low running costs, and dependable toner support, with generic consumables staying affordable and replacement drums and toner still easy to find. It also prints reliably over USB or on a network, and the hardware itself is described as hard to kill. The main drawbacks are its bulky, heavy footprint and some wireless setup friction, especially from Android phones. A few comments also raise questions about refurbished stock and Amazon Renewed handling, so the appeal is strongest if size and setup hassle are not dealbreakers.

  • Brother laser printers can keep running for many years with steady performance.

  • The printer can work with third-party toner and may avoid frequent resets seen on some HP models.

  • USB network sharing can let the printer serve multiple computers on a home network.

  • The printer can be maintained by cleaning the corona wire when printouts look off.

  • Wireless printing from Android can require significant fiddling to get reliable results.

  • Refurbished returns can raise reliability questions before purchase.

  • iOS PDF sending can trigger lockups, and sending smaller batches may be required.

  • The printer can be physically heavy, which can make placement and setup harder.

These things are tanks. I bought a Brother DCP-L2550DW on super discount ($80) from Office Depot in 2019 and it still works great.

Why are so many of these printers being returned and refurbished? Doesn't it make you wonder how reliable they really are?

Nah, I beg to differ. I purchased a Brother MFC-L2700DW laser printer in "new" condition on eBay back in 2017 for $75 and it was working fine till it broke down on me out of the blue in 2023. I eventually replaced it w/ a Brother MFC-L2750DW.

The 2750 is a better model! It should last longer.

Brother all the way. We use mostly HP at my job. They never work well with 3rd party toner and many have to be reset regularly because they randomly start printing multiple pages of gibberish. The few Brothers we had never gave us problems. We only replaced them to try to standardize toner and we now regret it.

I bought a Brother MFC-9700 around 2003 at "half price" around $300 and it's still going strong. I can still find toner at a good price. I thought about replacing it when there were compatibility issues going from Windows 7 to 10, but it works fine when I connected the USB to my router and that let me make it available to other computers on my network. I said I would replace it with a similar Brother model, like this one, whenever it dies but it just keeps on trucking.

I know this is not really relevant to this specific deal, but I wanted to share my experience with the brand's reliability and continued support of toner and drums after 20 years.

Can't go wrong with a Brother. Back in early 2000s had dealings with HP and realized what scumbags they were, their support conned an elderly friend into buying a new $55 ink cartridge for an obvious technical problem with the printer, then when it didn't fix it they tried conning her into buying another printer (which used different ink) with a silly discount. From my first Brother printer onward I have purchased nothing but Brothers for myself and others I help with tech. They just work, use third party ink and toners without any problem (this might be changing recently), and you basically have to go full "Office Space" to kill them. Just bought a family member this model to finally get him off of an ancient Brother inkjet that refused to die, he bitched about it for a while since he couldn't scan newspapers "in color" but that's settled down and he's accepted the simplicity and economy of toner. Brother does have some odd glitches with at least their iOS software, my 5850 locks up when I send a large PDF to it from my iPad, still trying to sort out why that is, will print from a Windows machine or send it in smaller batches to workaround.

Brother.com also has the MFC-L2760DW refurbished for $169.99 if you need fax. AI says it's rated for higher print duty and has a touch screen.

All things being equal, I'd opt for one direct from Brother, which is factory refurbished, versus whatever Amazon Renewed means, and whomever performs that process.

Hopefully it's better than their usual stock handling, given the amount of used stuff they ship to customers as "new" these days. Things have been going downhill since Jassy took over.

My Brother MFC, which was a display unit purchased in 2012, is still going strong.

I'll probably have to retired it with my next computer, due to the lack of driver support, not because of any issue with the printer itself.

This units will go for a long long long time and the generic consumables are super affordable. However this is a big heavy machine for sure. Any time my printouts look funny I remove the drum thing and run the little slider back and forth to clean the corona wire and it's back to printing normally until the drum or toner is depleted.

I'm seeing $169.99 as the price on Brother's website. Also what is this I'm seeing in the title on Amazon "Includes Refresh Subscription Trial"? Is that something one has to cancel after purchasing?
