Review on Desktop Inkjet Multifunction Printer - Brother MFC-J497DW - Color Printing on Plain Paper by Steve Arnold

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good for the price. But cleaning the head is troublesome.

This printer is great value for money. Print quality isn't as crystal clear as other high-end inkjet printers I've seen. But for only $65 it's okay. What is very strange about this printer is that every once in a while (every other day or so) it will start up like it's about to print and make all sorts of noises like the printer is printing and feeding paper. . I assume it's the head cleaning and if it prolongs life then fine. But I've never experienced that with other printers. The big problem with this is that I almost jump out of my skin when it suddenly starts. It's annoying and shaking.

Pros
  • Print is as mobile as you are. Print wirelessly from your desktop, laptop, smartphone and tablet
Cons
  • This is driving me crazy
