Where to buy?
I have read about this printer in and out, it seems to be a perfect fit for me. The downside, I cannot find one! No website is selling this. Not even brothers' own website. Need this!

Toner over very quick
My printer ink is over for just 10 days. Printed only around 70 pages. Not sure it is aside five piece or the printer is like that. Very much unsatisfied.

    Good multifunction nachine
    Easy to set up with Wi-Fi, the thing I don't like is you have to manually reset the counter after replacing the drum unit

    Too cumbersome for simple jobs
    I went to print an envelope and couldn't believe how complex the whole orocess was. Open theback of the printer, manually pull dowm two tabs, insert envelope onto the manual slot, print, reopen the back of the printer, push these two tabs back to the original position and close the back of the printer. REALLY?

    Exceptional Performance
    Printer is exceptional; the only issue I have is when either the PC or the Printer update they no longer talk to each other via wireless network and both need to be restarted to connect again. small inconvenience but above all its doing it's job.

    So far so good, after 2 months.
    My Brother refurbished mfc works well, is half the size of my previous one, seems to have larger toner cartridge and paper tray. But I only a 1-2-year warranty. Fingers crossed.

    I had a Brother printer before and it out lasted all the other printers in our office & trust me I printed a ton of stuff with that printer while I had it. It recently bit the dust and I knew without a doubt that I would only replace it with another Brother printer. Best printers for business by far.

    Just what I was looking for.
    This was just what I was looking for. Two sided printing works most of the time for me and will save some trees. I also love the toner refills. Same kind I was already using.

    Very disappointed - The unit may be defective. I purchased this for my assistant. She only used it for a couple of weeks and printed approximately 3/4 ream of paper with no graphics - then the OEM ink cartridge that came with the unit ran out of ink. We replaced the ink cartridge with an aftermarket cartridge and the printer is now VERY loud and makes a grinding noise. *Never had an issue with any a/m ink cartridge with other printers and I rely on purchasing a/m ink for the large cost savings. It also frequently disconnects itself from wireless mode.

    Good product with a couple of small ticks.
    I like the brother printers, that's why I have 3 in my office. The only fault that I have with them is they do not always pickup and envelope for printing and you may have to try several times to get the result you want. Sometimes it will print both sides when you only want one side with no option.

    Very Good general printer but poor manual feed
    The printer interfaces with my Mac and Windows machine very well and there was little effort on my part. It does a great job with standard printing from the main try. What it doesn't do a good job with is manual feed tray. I was going to use this with printing envelopes and card stock but it doesn't do either well. The envelopes get off track very easily and I'm getting feed and image quality issues with the card stock. This is with different sized envelopes and card stock.

    Overall printer is good for printing
    Printer is fine for printing. Touch screen is picky. You have to touch required action just perfect for it to recognize your request. You can't adjust touch screen to an angle that works for you. Top flap that holds documents for scanning does not fold done. This is an issue for us. We roll our other Brother Laser Printer back under our desks when not using. Setting for color density, contrast, etc is hard to find. I still haven't found it.

    Reliable First Step
    I needed a printer that connects to all my devices. I've found this printer works very well with my different computers and tablets. It only took a few minutes to connect them all and I come back later and they're are all still there. I started to dislike inkjet printer because I could never get to use all of the ink before it would destroy the printer. Hopefully laser won't go bad.

    Great machine and fast
    This printer is great for my business. The only thing I wish I would've known is it wasn't color. When I needed a printer I got this one and after I had all installed is when I realized it. Box wasn't labeled well to know but my fault for not doing enough checking first. But for a black and white this thing is great! I'm connected through my phone too and super easy to print from it as well! Who doesn't use their phone for everything these days and this is just one more added feature. The connectivity to the Wi-Fi was simple. The only cord it uses is the power cord. As long as everything else is Wi-Fi capable you don't need any other cords. It's really great for me!

    Great products but need a direct hookup to CPU
    All functions are great. Very easy to install if you got direct hookup from computer to the printer which is not provided for wireless model. There is no way to use your network key to install the wireless model.

    Quality and Quick
    Really like my MFC-2730DW. I purchased it to replace another printer. I had never made a laser printer before. I like the speed and ease use. The instructions that could have been better. Having to stop something to go online to answer a question before continuing is just wrong.

    MFC-L2730DW home office
    A heavenly godsend. I'm a full time graduate student going completely online. I also have personal research projects I work on. I go through periods where I don't print for months, and out of nowhere I need to print a lot of pages. Had enough of wasting money on ink that would dry out or have heads clogged so bad I had to buy a whole new inkjet. It was so incredibly wasteful and always left me in a bind when I needed to print something critically important. I decided I needed a decent laser printer that could lay asleep for extended periods and then print like a beast when the need arose. I print from my MacBook, my iPad, my iPhone without any issue. Setting it up on the network was absolutely hands down the most painless wireless setup I've ever experienced. Doing scans wirelessly is quick too. Do you know why I love this printer? Because it's no fuss and it's invisible in the background. When I do need it, it does it's job reliably and then gets out of my way and disappears back into the background. One less super frustrating thing to have to worry about. Things I don't like, the DPI resolution on the scanner is okay, but I'd like to see some ridiculous high resolution because I do scan small documents and photos sometimes. Printing on envelopes is disgusting. If I didn't have the self adhesive paper strips on the flaps, the heat from printing would have sealed the envelope closed. The printer also creases the envelope badly. Extremely unprofessional looking after the envelope has been run through the machine. Those weird quarks out of the way, I print flawlessly on 28lb copy paper, 24lb “parchment” surface, and 24lb 25% cotton linen. I got my Brother MFC-L2730DW from the shelf at Walmart, since it was the most expensive option. I knew it would be an investment on cost/waste and savings on my sanity. I love it! Buy it nice or buy it twice.

    Compact, easy to setup
    Compact, smaller than HP8610, scan to Computer works great. But I did not realize that it doesn't support sftp, but still use FTP, a low secure level of data protection.

    Great printer, great price, Walmart delivers!
    Super easy to set up and start printing. This has been completely trouble free and well worth the money switch from the frustrating HP it replaced. Zero complaints with the Brother printer and it was recommended by my IT team for working remotely.
