So far, I love it!
I've only had this for about 2 weeks but so far I love it.
I cannot say how durable or reliable it will be but here's what I can say:
1) it worked great right out of the box and was not difficult to hook up
2) it prints much faster than my Canon Pixma
3) the scanning software is easier to use than my Canon Pixma
4) it has a fax which - again - worked the first time, very easy
5) it SEEMS to use less ink than the Canon or the Epson I had before that (you do have to b...

Awesome All-In-One Printer, Small Footprint!
Just bought the Brother MFC-490cw to replace my dead Lexmark X83. Simply stated, this is an awesome all-in-one printer! Setup was quick and easy. The printer found my wireless router in seconds. Loaded the proper drivers in the various laptops and BAM! we were printing without wires!
The print quality for both text and color images is very good. the 3.3" color screen is a very nice feature. Having true CMYK print cartridges (meaning 4 different cartridges) means you only have to repl...

The best multi function printer I have ever owned!
I bought my MFC-490CW yesterday and in the 24 hours that I have owned it I have just one thing to say - WOW!
I like this printer so much - that I felt that I needed to review it right away and here is why: (my review is based on over 15 years of owning various printers, scanners and fax machines)
1. The Setup:
Setup was even easier than most wired printers that I have had:
The hardest part of the setup was unpacking and getting all the tap and locks of the printers. After th...

Great and Affordable All-in-One
To get a great all-in-one printer without killing your wallet is one thing, but throw in wireless capabilities for the ease of printing from your portable device, is the icing on the cake.
From the moment I opened up the box, my printer was set up (including software for my laptop) in under 30 minutes. I was printing wirelessly in no time. Because I only use this printer wirelessly, I cannot rate the item on a wired setup.
This seems to be a huge upgraid from my Lexmark a...

I'm impressed!
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) Ordinarily one of my least favorite things to do is to set up office equipment like printers or fax machines. I was prepared to hunker down for the evening and install this multi function printer on a wireless network with three PC's and two Mac's. Four of the computers are connected to Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router by ethernet and the other wireless. The set-up of the pri...

My 1st WiFi network printer
I read many of the Amazon reviews here and everyone seems to like this Brothers WiFi Network Printer pretty well, so I went looking for a place to buy one. I saw in one of the reviews that someone got one for $79, but I searched both online & off and couldn't find one anywhere for less than $100. I then got a sales flier from Best Buy in the mail and went and bought their last one in stock for $99.
I brought it home, opened it, pulled off all the packing crap, plugged in the power, co...

Very Pleased!
I typically don't give anything five stars but felt this product warranted it. I saw this printer on sale for $79 at Office Depot. When I went to buy it, an employee at Office Depot talked me into the $179 HP C6280 Photosmart printer. I took the Photosmart printer home but before opening read some mediocre reviews here on Amazon and took it back and got the Brother.
This printer delivers well on what I was looking for such as a wireless connection, scanning, copying and photo prin...

Fantastic!!
I LOVE this machine!
I recently moved to a Mac and my existing Canon Multifunction Machine did not offer drivers for Mac.
So, I began my search for a replacement.
I was immediately impressed with the large number of positive reviews as well as the price point.
Sure, Apple will send you a free Canon machine when you purchase a new Mac, but they are junk! Tried one and couldn't even get it working.
This Brother is a breath of fresh air!
Extremely easy ...

Excellent all-rounder
Bought this several weeks ago for the main task of replacing my old Brother fax machine, which was one of those old fashioned ink ribbon units. Faxing was important for me so all in one without fax capabilities would be useless. I didn't have to have wireless capabilities but it sure would be nice because I could place the unit in my living room.
Unboxing and setup
Unboxing the unit took a while as Brother packs down the unit very well to negate damage during shipping. ...

Good value; easy set up; quiet; great wireless integration
I was skeptical of Brother printers, but after having a miserable experience with HP trying to get a 6380 to work (two broken units delivered; two units returned; 4 hours on phone with tech support), I broadened my search and found consistently good reviews of this printer. I live in a mixed household (Windows and Mac), which also eliminated many competitors. Finding it on sale tipped the scales.
Out of the box, the printer is compact, has a low profile, and is a bit sleeker looking t...
