Solid performance at an adorable price point!
The Brother MFC-L2820DW is a versatile all-in-one monochrome laser printer that caters to the needs of home offices and small businesses. Its compact design and multifunctionality make it a convenient choice for users looking to streamline their workspace.One standout feature is the printer's fast printing speed, capable of delivering up to 27 pages per minute. This makes it efficient for handling various printing tasks, from important documents to lengthy reports. The automatic duplex printing is another plus, saving both paper and the environment. The wireless connectivity options provide flexibility, allowing users to print directly from their smartphones or tablets. The setup process is relatively straightforward, making it accessible for users with varying technical expertise. The inclusion of Wi-Fi Direct is a notable convenience for quick and hassle-free printing. However, the MFC-L2820DW does have its shortcomings. The absence of color printing may limit its appeal for users who require vibrant and detailed color output. Additionally, the absence of a touchscreen display might be seen as a drawback in comparison to some competitors in the market. One noticeable concern is the occasional paper jam issue that I experienced. While it doesn't seem to be a widespread problem, it's worth mentioning as it can be frustrating when it occurs. The paper handling capacity is decent but may not be sufficient for larger print jobs, requiring more frequent refilling. In terms of noise levels, the MFC-L2820DW operates relatively quietly, but it could be quieter during printing. This might be a consideration for users in shared or quiet office spaces. In summary, the Brother MFC-L2820DW is a reliable monochrome laser printer that excels in speed, wireless connectivity, and duplex printing. Its compact design makes it suitable for smaller spaces. However, the lack of color printing, absence of a touchscreen display, occasional paper jam issues, and moderate noise levels are factors to weigh. Considering these aspects, I would rate the Brother MFC-L2820DW a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It's a strong performer with some minor drawbacks that may or may not impact the user's specific needs.

Great laser printer for business and home office
This black and white (monochrome) laser printer is a compact device with a built-in scanner (both flatbed and automatic document feeder), fax, and copier. For a laser printer, it is lightweight and small (16 wide x 16 deep x 13 inches tall), entirely made out of plastic material, with the top being black and the sides/bottom a dark gray color. It has a commercial look for small to medium-sized businesses or home offices. The printer was easy and fast to set up and connect to my network. Once connected to the network, you can print or scan from it using any mobile device or computer. The wireless functionality works well with the Brother Print app on all devices. The app is simple yet robust and functions well without glitches. The control panel has the essential functions and buttons that allow you to change several settings on the printer. You can make copies with just a few button presses. Scanning documents or making copies, you have two primary functions: (1) use the automatic document feeder (ADF) to scan, copy, or fax multiple pages at a time, or (2) use the top glass scan flatbed. The top glass bed scanning is preferred for more detailed scans. Even though this device prints monochrome (black/white), it does scan documents and images in full color. Scan quality is good; files can be stored as images or PDFs; also, multiple pages can be combined into a single PDF file. Print quality is crisp and suitable enough for daily use and bulk printing. This device's laser toner/cartridges are the TN830/XL/V. The printer has a few jam-clearing compartments, are conveniently located, and can quickly be opened to clear jammed papers/documents. The device has an ethernet and USB port for wired connectivity. There is a port for a landline connection for the fax feature. There are two options for toner/cartridge replacement: (1) the user orders and buys toner/cartridges when needed, or (2) Brother Refresh EZ Print Subscription, which you get automatically delivered a toner to your door when you need it. It is a subscription plan based on the number of pages printed each month and not the amount of toner used. Any unused pages roll over, and you can change or cancel the subscription plan. This laser printer is excellent for speed printing and is faster than inkjet for bulk or large print jobs. It is a reliable, simple, black-and-white, and all-in-one laser printer for home office and small business.
