Good product
Good so far. Easy set up using USB cord which I had on hand. Does not come with that cord. My use has been light, but will pick up later.

Disappointed
I had this printer almost 3 months for my nephew's homework. The machine is good, but bad news is my nephew's tell me must be replaced toner today. Why does this happen? He just prints less than 100 copies for his homework.

    The Doll Clothes Don't Fit - Full Refund Please
    The Brother HL-L2395DW is a pleasantly swift printer, right out of the box. Set up was a breeze, from inserting the drum and toner package, adding the paper, powering up and connecting to wifi, downloading the driver package, and printing off my receipt from Walmart.com just to have handy with the packaging. Man alive, this is head and shoulders above the Epson Envy 5505 and the Canon imageCLASS MF3010 in regards to quality, speed, and value. We are a laser printer family from now on, that's for sure. As a homeschool family, printing dittos for the 3rd grader and book reports and tests for our 7th grader is a must. Double sided printing for the multiple page music scores we have for my wife's musical instruction business is a complete necessity. Oh, Brother, where art thou? Oh, you're here! You're right beside me. Just like a good brother always should be. Thanks Brother! :)

    Would Never Buy Another Inkjet Printer Again
    So far one of the best printers we have owned! I have always punched HP printers in the past but the reviews have not been as good as they used to be. Also while researching, I found the ink for the inkjet printers to be on the more expensive side. We do not print in color because it is more cost effective to have photos printed by other companies and just have them mailed to the house. So after comparing the cost of the printer, ink and functions of this laser printer to that of an inkjet printer with the same capabilities; this was a definite winner all the way around! Setup was simple, up and running in less 10 minutes! It prints fast and the quality is great for what we use it for at home. My husband does use it for work and it works great for him too. Just a quick note about some of the negative reviews I saw—my iPad had no problem finding the printer with no extra settings. You can change the double sided print feature right on the printer menu itself under the setting. I went in and connected the printer to the brother web server to allow automatic updates. I think that was it? I will never go back to an inkjet again!

    Recommended without reservations
    I am so far fully satisfied with this printer. I have yet to read the on-line manual that I have downloaded but without doing so, it has been fairly easy to find my way to print and scan on this printer. I had just bought a complete set of ink cartridges for my almost new HP ink jet when the thing broke down, leaving me with new cartridges and no printer! I spent a few hours to make the dead printer work but to no avail. As someone said on-line, HP seems to need a complete redesign of their printer concepts, including lowering the rip-off prices on their inks.

    Poor instructions
    The Quick setup Guide instructions for setting up, connecting and accessing the features of double sided printing for this HL-L2395DW were more confusing than helpful. Even the enclosed handout "How to Replace the Toner Cartridge" conflicted with the correct instructions on the box.

    Disappointed
    Instructions with printer were outdated (from 2017). The instructions said that a replacement toner cartridge came with the package. It did not. I called Brother and explained. They refused to consider. Also, flawed instructions made it very difficult to find the online manual for my printer. There should be a current, printed user manual in the package.

    Brother Laser Printers are Great
    Brother printers are great. Kids need to print a lot and solution is laser printer--saves you a lot on ink. This is my 3rd printer --all 3 children have their own printer( 2 in College, one in school). One disadvantage: you must have USB printer cable. The cable just need for first time you set up your wifi connection. After first time use, you no longer need this USB printer cable. I ordered one USB cable from ebay for $2.99. Again, I have no complains about this product.

    Printer is great, delivery left much desired
    First off, the printer works great. It prints fast and very good quality. I gave this a 3 star rating based on the delivery. The printer was delivered 2 days after the promised delivery date. This was mainly due to the fact that the shipment sat at one location for a period of 4 days before it was delivered. The location where the printer sat was 4 hours from our home. It was not loaded into the truck to be brought to our location where we actually have a Walmart warehouse.

    Good Quality, Useful Equipment
    Works well and has an auto double-side capability, which I love. I read the reviews before buying, which complained of difficulty setting up the wifi capability. I wasn't deterred by this and ordered it anyway because the price was reasonable. After receiving it, I took my sweet time to set everything up and test every option and capability. I DID run into some difficulty setting up the wifi option, but it wasn't frustrating and I figured it out. In any event, I decided that to feel more secure, I always trust using the USB cable (not included - no big deal) more than wifi on any machine. But if I ever want to use the wifi instead of the USB cable, it's nice to know that I got it ready and it works. I am not computer savvy and I do not consider this machine to be complicated. I found it to be user-friendly. I think the price is good for a black-only laser printer. The quality of printing is great. I think the flat screen scanning glass is not necessary, but it's nice to know it's there. In fact, I didn't think I'd ever use it, but I already have. I have no regrets buying this machine and hope it lasts for a long time to come. My last black-only laser printer was an HP and only lasted 11.5 years. I absolutely loved it and was sad when it died, but now having this machine, I don't miss the old one.

    Excellent value.
    Prints, copies and scans. Use among all in the family via WiFi. Copier needs to adjust contrast and density or copies are too faint; otherwise this workhorse is perfect.

    Good print and easy to set up.
    It connected to my Wi-Fi right away but after the first day it went offline, which my other printer did all the time and was the reason for this replacement. It came back online by itself the 2nd day and has worked ever since. Hoping it was a fluke and I don't have to keep messing with the connection. Overall it prints really well and has good speed.

    Complete lack of human support.
    There is no human support at all . They send a list frequently asked questions and call that support. I have a couple of simple question and no answer. I am going to send it back as soon as I can get it packed up. Of all of my internet purchases this by far the worst George L Davis

    Good overall review, just changed my mind.
    All I can comment on is it was shipped and arrived very timely. It was rather easy to hook up and seemed to work well. I thought it was be nice to replace an older printer with a laser printer. Little did I realize I would miss color printing so much, the new laser printer being black printing only. I must have misread the stats. I thought I saw color printing could be possible. It is not with this model. Having already said I did not realize to the extent I would miss the ability to print in color I will be returning this purchase. I will say it did a very good job printing in black ink.

    Very good, dependable and easy to use.
    For the price, I have found the Brother, black, monochromatic print-scan-copy machine to be very dependable, nothing breaking or going wrong in the first Brother monochromatic I purchased some five years ago and still have, and now finding this second (and additional) one to so far be very dependable and easy to use. I don't have any need for a color printer because everything I do is related to my creative writing, just getting manuscripts printed out according to editorial requirements.

    Better to do wireless print setup first.allow time for full cycle to complete. It takes time especially if wireless is slow. Hard to switch from two sided print to one side print
