Strengths: Fast. Low per page cost. Toner save mode @ 300-dpi prints highly acceptable documents (to extend toner life)

Weaknesses: High electricity usage. Manual feed port doesn't have a tray to support the manual feed pages.

Summary: If you want a low cost per page, fast laser printer for basic printing needs, this fits the bill perfectly. The only drawback is the higher than average electricity usage. Given my 3 monitors, computer, and various other items in my home office, my battery backup cycles every time I turn the printer on and at various times during printer standby mode. It is rated around 4 amps average during print mode. The supply on the back states a max draw of 8.6 amps although I don't think it would ever hit that mark.Other than that, the cost per page is fairly low if you go with the high yield toner TN360 (I think it's around 1.8 cents per page up to 12000 pages when you need to buy a new drum which also isn't too expensive). But still an arm & leg cheaper than running any typical inkjet printer. Overall, I am highly satisfied but docked it 1 star because of the high electric usage.

Strengths: fast

Weaknesses: no

Summary: I like the printer and it quiet and fast, I have been using it for about 5 weeks and I am happy with it and I am highly recommend this printer.

Strengths: Lightning fast printer, high resolution vs similarly priced models, reasonable toner. Works PERFECTLY with a low-end D-Link print server, where many others did not. Power consumption is minimal.

Weaknesses: Significant "page curl" during printing, some configuration options cannot be set from the printer itself, and must be set from the driver (worked for me even thru a wireless print server).

Summary: This is a fantastic printer, and can be bought many places for less than $50. PPM speed is phenomenal, resolution is higher than any similarly priced printers, and it works with off-brand wireless print servers, putting it in a very small group.Power consumption in "sleep mode" (as measured by a "kill-o-watt" meter), is negligible -- I have clocks that use more power! When I need to print something, it wakes right up, spits out the page, and goes back to sleep.The driver support is also fantastic, you have control of almost every facet of the printer configuration -- the only drawback is it doesn't seem you have similar control from the panel.Power-on was enough drain to trip my UPS unit temporarily -- apparently this is common amongst laser printers, however, and not unique to this unit.

Strengths: Fast and even when on the economy/toner saver it looks better than most inkjet printers. It is small and very simple to set up. I highly recommend it. I wish I had bought two with rebates.

Weaknesses: I can't get the thing to network. It's probably my error but it's just not working. And the unit is rather loud but other than that it's great.

Summary: We just printed a big job of flyers for my son's band. We used neon colored paper and they looked great even on the economy setting. I hope the OEM cartridges are available and inexpensive for this because I really have enjoyed having this little gem. I'll be buying another one if it's available for $30 again.

Strengths: very cheap, fast, and quiet

Weaknesses: none

Summary: I got this printer at officemax for 50 dollars. I also like the fact that the paper tray is not sticking out. The printer is a lot quieter than the other laser printer that I have (samsung scx-4100).

Strengths: Fast Printer, Compact Size

Weaknesses: None so Far

Summary: I set this up with my Vista laptop and it works just fine. The speed of the printing is excellent and the quality is great. I have had no problems using this after a couple days of heavy use. I really like the compact design.

Strengths: Easy to set up,Fast on the draw,Economical to use

Weaknesses: None that I know of

Summary: This being my second Brother Laser (also have the HL-2040 which I love)I purchased this for my home. Too many times you need just black print and using an ink jet was not cost effective. The laser is much faster also. The price point on this is what put me over the top. $49.99 less a mfg. rebate of $20 and $10 store incentive coupon made it way cheaper than buying a new toner. It is easy to set up and works great just as the 2040. I highly recommend this printer just for text as it will save you plenty in refills. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. I have only had this for a day but the 2040 for months and there have been no issues yet.

Strengths: Warms up fast, affordable, reliable.

Weaknesses: None at this moment.

Summary: I just bought this printer from office max yesterday and had it setup in 10 minutes. It warms up fast and the first page comes out pretty quickly. This printer is reliable and good for its price. I will definitely recommend it!

Strengths: Fast, clean prints, internal paper tray

Weaknesses: reliability is a little iffy.

Summary: The first one of these I bought I had to return to the store and exchange, it printed 2 and a half pages and died halfway throught the third and would not turn on again.That said, I returned and rebought and am very satisfied with the speed and clear quality of image from this printer. The install was simple, love the internal paper tray as I have little ones, who like to "steal" computer paper.Despite my initial experience this printer seems to have a nice sturdy build quality and doesn't leave a big footprint. I'm satisfied, but recommend an extended warranty just in case.

Strengths: Print quality and speed

Weaknesses: Replacement toner cost

Summary: This printer performs well and gives excellent print quality. Setup was easy. It has a small footprint and will fit on most desktops. The printer includes a starter toner cartridge that is rated at 1000 pages. Replacement toner can be expensive however.

Strengths: Cheap compare to other laser printers, fast printing, small form factor.

Weaknesses: Toner is kind of new and expense.

Summary: My 5 year printer just died, I need a printer for printer paper and report, no need for color printing. This one was on sale, and fit what I needed. It prints very fast compared to my old printer, and at a great price. The toner is kind of new, and is expense, but not by much. This is my first laser printer and I love it!!

Strengths: Great value, fast at 23ppm, easy setup, high dpi at 2400 by 600 dpi

Weaknesses: Like all other laser printers, it has a "starter cartridge which only last 1000 pages

Summary: This is one of the few budget laser printers that i have been happy with. It outperforms all other printers in its price range in term of dpi, speed, and noise.

Strengths: Only $50 for me, and probably one of the least expensive laser printers out there. Easy to install and use, fast printouts, and great as a personal printer.

Weaknesses: USB cable not included which I guess is the standard. Semi-loud to warm up before the first printout. Not exactly great at printing envelops. Toner cartridge expensive.

Summary: I like this printer more than my first laser printer - Samsung 1710, and I can network this printer throughout the house as well. I ended up buying the USB cord at monoprice.com and ended up being a little more than $3 with shipping included, so no biggie :)

Strengths: Price (only cost me about 70 from Staples),Small,Fast.

Weaknesses: Front individual sheet feed tray: the lever doesn't move smoothly to size the feeding paper, for example, envelopes. small inserts

Summary: In stead of buying 97 dollars cartridge replacement for old laser printer(HP), it was more economical to purchase this one which comes with a cartridge (but the cartridge is smaller (1/2) than other cartridges-) The cartridge itself yields about 1,500 (according to manufacturer) and costs about $35. Half size and capacity of my old one(which costs about $ 86-97 and yields 3500)Only thing I'm not happy about (my scound small brother printer of this kind)is the individual feeder. The levers sizing the papers or envelopes don't slide smoothly. The printer detects errors (when individually feeding--if you don't feed it straight) little slow and confusing. I wish also the individual feeder was designed to stack up & hold some more paper on the tray (it takes only one page). But the main tray compartment holds 250 pages.Great for home and small office use if printing mainly documents (mono). Good value for the money!!!!!!

Strengths: Small, quiet, prints fast-23 ppm, PRICE

Weaknesses: none

Summary: This is my first laster printer and I'm completely satisfied with it. It came with starter ink toner cartridge which last approximately 1,000 sheets of paper. There is a slight noise from the printer when the machine is "awake" after in prints. But, once it goes to sleep/hibernate it is completely silent and the power light dims. I mainly print word docs, emails, forms and it does all this perfectly! I couldn't ask for any better, especially at this price.There is a version that is slightly more expensive that has wireless networking built-in. That feature does not really matter to me. I have this printer hooked up to my main PC at home which is always on. I have shared the printer on my network so that any PC, laptap connected to my network can print to this.I highly recommend this laser printer for anyone looking for a small, B&W laser printer.
