Brother MFC seems to me to be cheaply made. I will not buy another Brother product.
AUTOMATIC DUPLEX PRINTING: With single-pass, 2-sided copy/scan, saves my time. The ability to print, copy, scan, fax up to 11"x17" photo-quality pages, is a must have for my needs.
Having had enough of HP problems, I made the switch to Brother printers a decade ago and haven't had a problem since. I've owned 2 Brother MFCs. I knocked the first one off its resting place and it hit the floor into a dozen pieces.
I highly recommend third-party inks from Amazon. They're much cheaper, last way longer, and make good quality prints. Make sure the model printer you're looking at buying, has third-party ink available.
