Great printer matches printers

Bought two of these printers and they work great, the colors are very bright and the quality is fantastic. It's a printer, copier, fax, and scanner and has great features. The price is very good and it is very well built.

Pros
  • Intuitive cloud connectivity. Scan straight from your printer to popular cloud services including Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive and more.
Cons
  • sad packaging

Good for the price.

59.99 and came here to to buy ink as it is cheaper. Brother is a good company when it comes to printers. I have had a Brother printer for over 20 years. This is my 4th. Each lasted over 5 years. I type a lot for my wife as she is a writer and has to print her work for editing. Before Brother came on the market, we replaced printers about every 6 months. Hope this helps, if you are looking for a good printer at a good price this is a good one.

Pros
  • Compact and easy to connect. Compact all-in-one color inkjet printer that fits into the tight spaces of your home, home office or small office so you can print, copy, scan and fax with ease
Cons
  • cable is shorter than other options

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

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

Small but Functional - Office Electronics

This printer is a replacement for a very large multifunction printer that had a printhead failure after 6 years of use. The Brother printer was very easy to install and use. The front panel is flexible so placement is not an issue. In addition, the relatively small size of the printer offers great flexibility. One issue is a little annoying for users who want to connect their printer to their desktop. The device does not come with a direct USB cable. Instead, we're asked to provide a cable and…

Pros
  • Brother MFC-J497DW All-in-One Wireless Color Inkjet Printer with Mobile Device and Duplex Printing
Cons
  • Hard to say

This is the worst printer I've ever used. I'm shocked how bad this is.

This is a really terrible printer. Before purchasing this printer I read the reviews, first on the Staples website and then in search of "the best MFPs of 2020". Time and time again, this printer has proven to be one of the best buys. I regret not reading more Revain reviews here as it looks like I'm not the only one who has had a bad experience with this printer. • Doesn't stay connected to Wi-Fi - I have to enter my Wi-Fi password every 30 minutes. • slowest printer ever - shockingly slow…

Pros
  • Quickly scan and share documents. Scan and share documents easily with Brother cloud apps
Cons
  • too stupid
