I ordered it with some hesitation due to the price difference between this drum and the Brother drum. It arrived early which was nice as it wasn't a required delivery and I ordered it when the COVID pandemic hit. It looked a little different to the Brother drum when opened (see picture) but it went into the printer and my printer was up and running in seconds. The first thing I had to print was a set of 80 memos and then labels. I could not tell the difference between pages previously printed on the Brother drum and this machine. There are no smudges or streaks and everything is consistent on the page. I am very happy with this product and will update my review if anything changes and also update the lifespan if I think of doing so. - To update. I've been using this product for a month now and so far I'm very happy with the product. I had to print out some worksheets as well as some old photos for my class and they came out really well! Words and cards came out very clearly and that's important for my students. I've printed over 1000 pages and the quality is still very good.
