Awesome Product
We had the last one for over 20 years and replaced it with this one. This one is doing a great job, was easy to set up and was a great price.

I will never buy a Brothers product again.
I have owned several Brothers laser fax machines over the years. When I first started using these products I loved them. They were well made and affordable. The last 3 machines I have owned have been money pits. It first started with toner. The machine wouldn't print because the toner cartridge was "low".

Efficient
Efficient machine, very simple design. The only drawback is that it does use a lot of ink/toner esp. for heavy usage. Thank you Staples for prompt delivery and service.

Terrible, do not recommend
I am convinced the positive reviews on this fax machine are either a) from people who only send faxes and never receive faxes, or b) bots that Brother has set up to post positive reviews. We have had several Brother fax machines over the years. This machine states "low toner" about 2 weeks after replacing the toner. Nothing has changed on our end. I've looked up some tr...

It's a win
Fit perfectly where the one I had for over 31 years was. Smooth easy operation and set up. I use it just for the fax but have used the copy mode while doing monthly accounting scans from desktop pc. So far so good

Tricky set up
I do like the machine in general - however I needed this because of a land line phone number still associated with a business - I am having issues recording the message so I can redirect to a cell phone -

DO NOT BUY
BOUGHT THIS FAX MACHINE AND HAD TO USE 2 INKS IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS. CONSTANTLY HAVING TO BUY INK IS NOT WORTH IT.

disappointed
I can't get it to hook up with the phone line to send a fax. Therefore so far it's useless. It's bigger than I expected. My other one was set up to pickup an incoming fax as soon as it heard the hand shake but not having any luck with this one.

High Speed
It is high speed! I like how easy it is to use. I did take a minute to realize you didn't have to put the "1" in front of the number! Set up was simple!

Great machine
Our fax broke and I didn't think we would get a fantastic replacement! Well, we did! This Brother Fax is awesome and being at a summer camp where it has to work in no air conditioning and the humidity, it is the best! Thank you Brother!

we thought it was loud when it was running and when the voice came on for no longer in service or something it was muffled and hard to understand.
