Fantastic for the price
I bought this printer from Costco and got the wireless feature for the same price as the non-wireless version with a rebate. It's works extremely well. It's very fast and the quality is excellent. I was unsure whether I needed the duplexing feature but since I have it, I use it all the time and am very pleased that I opted for this model. No, this machine cannot print on envelopes. Don't even try it. I don't need this feature so I can get over it. I print on labels instead. The Brother s...

High-quality duplex printing and copying
I was considering purchasing a $7,000 reconditioned "floor model" Canon copier (that would have required adding a 20-amp electrical line at an additional cost of about $1,000) when a friend suggested that I look at the $600 (MSRP) Brother MFC8870DW.
I was pleased to find that the quality of copies made with the Brother multifunction unit is comparable to that of the Canon copier and superior to a floor-model Konica that I had used for some time.
As a copier and printer, the...

The (almost) perfect Multi-function printer!
This was my third Brother MFC printer. I was trying to replace my current MFC9600 that has been been excellent for more than 5 years. I wanted the duplex functionality, the better print quality, as well as the some of the additional features.
And you better believe it, this machine is IT! Faster faxing, faster and better quality scanning, faster copying and printing, better quality prints and copies, and many more very beneficial features that I really liked. being technically savvy,...

No warnings on the box - but good enough!
Oh how I wanted this, I like brother printers - and a wireless one that supports OS9 OSX, and Windows too, USB, wireless, or ethernet - wowee! Then I opened the box, does not do wireless with OS9. Oh well, then I plugged it in and every UPS in my office chimed and the lights flickered when I turn it on. Yep, even plugged straight into the wall, this room heater uses 9.1 Amps, and I bet 11 when it first powers up. So, this just won't work in an average home office - we have 15 amp lines - a few ...

Warning
I have 8860dn - it based on the same engine as this one, the only difference - wireless. So here is my experience - hope it will be helpfull.
I was with HP for 15-20 years, needed MFP, read all reviews here and decided that MFC-8860DN will be a good choice (other option was HP 3055). It has everything I need - copier, network print, scan, fax. Easy setup (I am in IT for 25+ years). Everything was almost perfect. The only complaint you need to keep in mind - IT EATS 1100 WATTS whe...

Almost perfect but for consumable costs
I'm a fanatic for duplexing since I move a LOT of paper around, sometimes amounts which I have to carry to court or mail and which weigh several pounds. The Brother is one of the better machines for the price that handles duplexing well, maybe even the best.
This particular machine has wireless G built-in, but it costs over $100 more than the same machine without wireless, and for well over $100, you can probably manage to do the same thing cheaper, maybe even better, and for my of...

Solid multi purpose printer - Fax won't work with Vonage
This machine does pretty much everything you could need in a wireless machine. Main downside to machine is that it won't support faxing using vonage and Brother customer service refused to give me any advice as to how to get the fax to function because vonage was my service provider and they won't support if you use vonage. I called back three times and three different customer service reps told me this, and vonage's customer service center in India does not seem to have a canned speech to ad...

A Better Alternative to the HP 7410 All-in-One
I bought an HP-7410 all-in-one color jet printer with wireless capability about 13 months ago, and had to replace it because the scanner feeder is totally gone. I swore I would bever buy another HP product, as I felt for what I paid the printer was constructed rather cheaply.
The Brother MFC-8870 laser printer has been a pleasant surprise. I never had really considered Brother before, but because of the features, and given it was in the same price range as the HP-7410, I went ahead ...

Incredible flexibility and convenience - but not for high volume use.
The Brother MFC-8870DW does everything I need it to do - and then some. Given the rich feature set, the price is quite low. Given the lightweight plastic feel of the paper drawer and small input rollers I have some concerns about the build quality of the paper path (but we've had no problems at all with it so far). There's no end of flexibility about how you can hook it up and make it do all the many things that it does:
* fast laser printer with fine resolution and duplex (automatic pri...

What you should know before you buy a Brother
I have owned the MFC-9420CN, but you might want to read this before purchasing any Brother printer. I have had this machine for about a year it cost over $1,000 and is suppose to be for business. This machine is in my home and I do use it more than probably most homes, but not nearly the amount a buisiness would use. After I print about 100-200 copies the machine overheats and needs to take a very long break, sometimes overnight. Make sure you read the entire manual. You need to know how heavy o...
