  1. NancyT

    Will not stay on Wi-Fi. Prints good when I get it going

  2. Thiru

    Works great. easy setup. No hiccups. Scanner too works great.

  3. Stef

    Overall great value and printing quality so far. Minor issue: occasionally when the printer is in sleep mode it doesn’t wake up when I send a print job, so I have to manually press the power button for my laptop to connect and print.

  4. Perryclough

    Your service, your help and attention, and the Brother were darn near perfect. Thank you!

    Perry Clough

  5. MacN

    Awesome printer. it ha been almost a year I purchased this and have no issues and working perfectly.

  6. Moonie

    Quirky wi-fi. Had to try connecting to my wi-fi network several times before I got it to work.

  7. Austin

    Piece of garbage. Stopped working after 1 use. Will not print at all.

  8. FabianK

    Great product first time using it and very happy !

  9. KaeR

    Had nice features. Lenovo does have some funny cursor issues. Don’t care for the MS control on web browsing.

  10. BladimirI

    THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT I WOULD BUY AGAIN, AND NOW I NEED INK

  11. DogMama

    We purchased this printer about a month ago and are very satisfied. It was not too difficult to set up and it prints great! We are anxious to see how log the ink actually lasts.

  12. JaisonK

    Good for the value, its an entry level printer with quality

  13. YulC

    Amazing i love how fast this printer prints out work for my kids to do worksheets

  14. NenaP

    Excellent product, excellent staff, from excellent store

  15. MichaelS

    Printer works fine, and prints really well. My drawbacks on it is the life span of the ink is rather low, and the initial set up is a bit of a pain. If they could make the app software a bit more fluid it would raise the rating for me.

  16. MarkH

    Nice printer. Print quality is good and cartridge life is better than other brands I have used.

  17. BrianC

    Easy to set up and use! I like the promise of extended ink life.

  18. Vegas777

    This printer works great and easy to hook up and connect.

  19. Guillermo

    An excellent product. You will get a lot for your money. Easy set up, individual ink cartridges!!

  20. Jerry

    Fine printer, runs well, quality text on the page. Have recommended to a friend

  21. ChristyP

    Its early yet but so far this printer seems to be just what i need

  22. CristyG

    Simple to set up.. use.. and order ink. Neutral color, NOT too big/bulky. Good price.

  23. SDH87

    This printer scanner is great. The print quality is great and the size is perfect for home or school printing needs. The scanner work great and is the perfect personal printer/scanner for home use.

  24. user435948

    It’s good. Prints beautifully but doesn’t always want to connect to my network.

  25. AntonioC

    Printer is good but goes through ink very fast. Mixed feelings about it so far…

  26. Cdubpitt

    Great printer. Easy to connect to wifi and very easy to use. I’m happy overall I’ve had the worst luck with printers in the past. Seems like this will hold up.

  27. Unknown

    GREAT PRINTER.. GREAT VALUE. NEVER ANY PROBLEMS. GREAT ON INK.. WOULD RECOMMEND

  28. KimberlyF

    For the price of this printer it works pretty good. The thing I don’t like about this printer is the way it two sided print if you have more than one page to double side print you have to manually flip each page. So just print one sided.

  29. Connie

    It is cheaply made. Does the job but it’s slow. It didn’t cost much. You get what you pay for. Also, the last ink I bought only lasted for 20 pages. That was upsetting.

  30. JMJon

    B/w printing is fast and perfect! Color takes a little more time but is really good!!

  31. JoanB

    Great price
    Easy Set-Up
    Prints Beautiful
    Makes great copies.

  32. Derek

    Pretty solid printer, lacks some basic features like auto two sided printing but for the price it is pretty good

  33. RayT

    Works very well it was easy to hook up and copies very well

  34. Missmeyet

    Updating the firmware is a pain in the neck because it requires you to enter the printer’s password. The Brother software doesn’t allow you to view the password as you type it in. I can’t see what I am typing incorrectly in the password field.

  35. JamesN

    As expected from Brother, this printer does an excellent job.

  36. Ronin

    best ever, no more cables all wifi, perfect no need to clean a mess cables

  37. Tonytonychopper

    Really enjoying this printer. I got it after my canon of 4 years died. I like the app connectivity and the ease of use to install the printer.

  38. patsaved

    Reliable and easy to set up. Print quality is excellent for a mid range printer.

  39. Joelle

    nice investment of a printer its been a year and it still works like a charm

  40. catwoman

    I have had this printer for a few months and I really like it! I did not have problems setting it up and enjoy using it. I like the fact that if the color cartridges run out, you can still use the black cartridge. The cartridges are a little pricey; have lasted a long time; but I don’t print that much. It is very easy to use the app to check on ink levels or make an adjustment before you print. The printer is smaller, so it doesn’t take up a lot of space.
    I bought it on sale and it was very affordable. I read a lot of reviews before deciding on this printer and trust the Brother brand.

  41. Bruno

    Easy setup through the Brother app, connects to wifi in seconds and is ready to rock. Great printer.

  42. Braun

    Great printer that is offers balue for money, prints well and is very easy to setup.

  43. AlmostFL

    So far so good! Fast printing. HP was previous printer. It was fine except ink costs.

  44. OLEDTom87

    Printer was great in the beginning but now prints slow and makes more noise. I might take it in for the Geek Squad to take a look at soon!

  45. CharlesR

    I’ve had HP printers for years and have aways had problems. In addition, they are ink guzzlers and non-HP ink also caused problems. The HP software was also confusing and my printer would shut down for no apparant reason.
    I swollowed hard and bought this Brother, with ink cartridges that last several times longer than HP. The software is simple, the print quality is great, and the printer simply works without issues. I am sold, no more HP for me, its Brother all the way.

  46. PsychedelicFuzz

    I still haven’t received any of the ink I was promised

  47. ClementeD

    Bought this for home office and is best due to wireless capability and ease of use. Great value!

  48. Reviewer

    Needed a printer in a pinch. Don’t like that it’s single scan only.

  49. Robyn

    Prints amazing photos and is really easy to set up.

  50. LourdesR

    Really good product, I am so happy to have this printer
