MFC-L2820DW Wireless Compact Monochrome All-in-One Laser Printer with Copy, Scan and Fax, Duplex, Black & White | Includes Refresh Subscription Trial(1), Works with Alexa

Another excellent entry in the Brother universe of good and inexpensive printers and multi-function machines. Is operating much faster than the one it replaced, which gave us a good several years. Convenient if remote printing; the printer bin capacity is 250 pieces of paper. Because we use other Brother printers, software (both desktop and phone) set up was seamless and easy. I would buy another if I needed one. Very quiet.

The Brother MFC-L2820DW is a great all-in-one printer for black and white printing. It’s fast, easy to set up, and prints sharp documents. Scanning and copying work well too, and it connects to Wi-Fi without issues. If you just need a solid printer for everyday use at home or in a small office, this one works great. It arrived quickly and was packaged well.

Fantastic network/wifi printer, both printing and scanning work well with my Debian 13 Linux desktop (kernel 6.12.74).

Easy to assemble but a first timer may have problems. Instruction drawings left some guessing. No problems with WiFi connection. Same with internet hookup. Pleased with actual printing and ease with print selection. I purchased based upon outside recommendations. Chose laser jet black and white for cost savings.

Works wonderful, easy to set up.

First off the print yield for the cartridge is not what is advertised. I think it’s advertised at 1300 and we got fewer than 500 pages from the original brother Toner cartridge. Secondly, I wish we would have purchased a printer that had color but being retired and using it for our home,we thought what do we need color for? That was a mistake. Other than that the quality of the print is good, it’s very quiet except for when you turn it on and the alert is quite loud. It’s easy to use and I guess the value for the money is sufficient it connected wirelessly very easily.

Several years ago I switched from Brother printers to Canon. This piece of junk reminds me why. When I needed to replace the Canon that had served me quite well for 6 yrs (prior Canon lasted 5), it was for cosmetic reasons; printer still worked. This time Canons with features I need were all too large and heavy. So I took a chance on Brother. How bad could it be, right? Answer: VERY bad. My main requirement for a printer, besides the obvious, is an ADF. Other lasers I saw with that feature were bulky and heavy. The Brother came and no wonder it was so light. It looked and felt like a toy. I'd say it performed like a toy, but it would have to improve to garner that much credit. First, who the #!%$&* thought it would be a good idea to design a printer that requires user to go in BACK of the printer to clear a paper jam?! Every office I've ever worked in, every home office I've ever had, printers are against a wall. I have yet to see one sitting in the middle of a room. For certain types of jams, I have to pull printer out about a foot or so, turn printer around, then clear the jam. WHY MUST I REPEATEDLY HAVE TO "RECOVER" WIRELESS CONNECTION? No such thing as a quick print job--at least not the first print job of the day. I never turn off the printer, but do turn off my PC every night. Next day, every day, I have to go into printer settings, choose "Recover WLAN," wait about 5-10 minutes for document to print. I've learned to fix breakfast while it warms up, wakes up, or whatever it's doing all that time. Those are the biggies. More minor annoyances: Screen doesn't stay lit. Very strange defaults, some of which I still don't know how to disable or change--assuming that's even possible. I've used printers for 25+ years. I've had Epson, HP, Canon; Canon being best, but all were ready to go once set up--and stayed ready till they gave out. My 1998 printers were better than this Brother. Okay, so will it print from my phone or tablet? Yes, both. But that doesn't make up for its many inadequacies. Scan? Yes. Adequate I suppose. Fax? I've had no reason to try that. Obviously, I DO NOT RECOMMEND this Brother printer.

Good printer!

Buena impresora aunque no se puede escanear doble lado.

Pricey but in the long run, this is a good printer!

Parfait pour le bureau

Il est très bon comme produit. Longtemps hésité mais je ne regrette pas mon choix

Wireless setup app complete failure. Android phone attempt. Would not connect. I had to use manual setup mode. I am able to wirelessly print but not via the Brother app. Several other reviews said similar wireless setup issue.. wasted a lot of time trying to figure it out because brother really pushes the wireless setup via app in their quicksand guide. Instructions somewhat unclear too. So far it works fine as a printer. I have not used scan or fax features.
