Summary: A bargain isn't always!
Comment: I saw this and the price was 79.99. Wow, what a bargain. Except the printing was poor. Print speed (USB in fast slot) poor in addition to the lenghtly 'thinking time' that the printer took before beginning printing. I spent two hours trying to get a two page fax sent. I consider myself to be tech savy. No fax. Paper tray is the worst that I have ever seen. You have to open a covered paper drawer to add paper, print on reverse, etc, pain! LED screen is almost unreadable due to low light and you have to stand over it to read it at all. If price is a real issue, then this will print. If you want an-all-in one and can afford another $50-60, then shop for something else. I took mine back.

Summary: Excellent Choice
Comment: I bought this item in May 2007. (Updated August 11th 2007) I've used the color photo printer, fax- (both send & recieve), copier, printer and scanner. Fortunatley, I based my choice on someone who knows this BRAND and is up on technology. You wont find a better unit for the price, PERIOD! The ink is inexpensive and only the newer version, the (MFC 440 cn) can top this models features with built in NETWORKING and (FAX to PC). Meaning a fax to the MFC 440cn can be recieved and stored on your PC prior to printing. Those who complain should be spending way more for what they are seeking. In addition, I suggest they learn how to read an instruction manual! Those who want GOOD QUALITY in a VERY inexpensive and COMPACT machine..(My biggest concern was SIZE and this unit fit).. will be very satisfied with the MFC 240!! Do your homework!!

Summary: Do not buy any printer made by Brother
Comment: For the sake of your wallet and sanity ... Do not buy any printer made by Brother! I bought an inkjet multifunction that broke after about 24 months. It cost $90 to fix. Then it broke again ... the same problem, the infamous "error 41" ... four months later. I also bought a Brother laser printer. I installed a replacement toner cartridge, made by Brother, which was defective and leaked all over the inside of the machine, damaging the drum. Brother refused to cover the repair cost because they said the damage was caused by a "consumable" product - their defective toner cartridge! Another $110 to repair. In short, Brother products are junk, their warranty is bogus, and you'll waste a lot of money on repairing their garbage. I finally used my brain and bought a Lexmark, which I should have done in the first place because this brand has never caused me any problems.

Summary: Marvelous multifunction, best of his class in the market
Comment: This is my first Brother printer. I bought it because my father, who has a Brother MFC-210C, advise me of the extraordinary quality of that brand. I can't said anything but that I am enchanted of the features of this device. Its scanner works so smooth and with a very low sound, not noise. It prints photographies with very natural colors, so as you see on your PC's monitor, and they look very beautiful even in regulatr paper. I had't try with photo paper. Other features (copier, fax, cards readers, and so on, are also very good. Thanks father, and thanks Brother.
