Brother MFC-8860DN Flatbed Laser Multi-Function Center with Duplex Reviews
Customer Rating:Summary: Awesome printer
Comment: This was a small-business purchase and we upgraded from an every-day home office inkjet to this laser beast. It turns out to be an awesome printer as many other reviews have noted, which was my reasoning for purchasing this model and brand. I have never owned any products by Brother, but the company seems to produce quality products.
Should you be interested in purchasing this printer, the only con I'd have to say it has it it's paper tray. I believe it only holds 50 sheets, which at a small-business, they get consumed very quickly. So, you (and we) may want to consider purchasing the additional optional paper tray so you don't have to refill the tray as much. Or, save money and don't let the frequency of adding paper bother you.

Summary: EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT PRINTER......
Comment: This multifunction Brother machine is simply outstanding....... I bought this Printer in July 2007 (I wanted to wait for sometime before i write any reviews), I have not had any, any problems with this Unit so far. Its working great. This printer is indeed a great purchase for me.
The only thing could have been better would be printing evelopes, which i really don't need much. If you wanna print envelopes on this machine, it won't work great.....other than that this is awsome machine.
Print quality is little light too as compare to other similar machines but the work quality and especially duplex printing is wowwwwwwww.
I would definitely reccommend this machine.

Summary: It's a Sweet Machine
Comment: I'm a teacher, so the expense seemed justified. I was so tired of spending half my income on inkjet cartridges! I use it constantly without any problems. My only gripe is that it can handle only 28 pound paper, and I use 32 pound for my resumes etc. I still run the 32 pound through it, and it works fine. I do wonder if I'm damaging the rollers though.

Summary: Versitle and does the job.
Comment: This product has completely lived up to my expectations. Easy to operate.
My staff especially likes the auto-feed and the ability to easily do duplexing.
I liked it so well I bought one for my home.

Summary: Everything works well.
Comment: I bought the Brother MFC-8860DN about three months ago, so I don't know how well it will hold up. However, this printer is near perfect in it's operation. Given what it does, it is a great price. This is the finest printer I have owned. My wife and I love it.
It prints crisp copies, both one and two sided. I found it quiet and fast and was particularly pleased with the quality of the copies. The single user USB installation was easy. I had no problem with the high power draw mentioned by some purchasers. The paper tray holds a half ream of paper which is nice. The scanner is of adequate quality and has excellent flexibility in retained user settings.
