I experienced lousy, "outsourced" technical support, and had two printers fail in the same year. This on the heels of my friends brand new color laser fiasco, which was three failures in one year (also HP). They used to be the best, with printers like the 4050n and other tireless workhorses, but I think other vendors are now making significant inroads, especially in this middle ground space. You'll find HP laser printers to be profoundly expensive for what they buy, with high print costs, and low ram. The 1300 is a fine example of where HP has gone wrong.So, we took the plunge on this 8420 (we got the "one up" D model, which includes duplexing -- works like a charm, and at about 1c a page (as the cost of paper) it will pay for itself quickly). The upsides: 1) Very cheap toner. Especially the high yield. 6k pages for 90 bucks, which is more than any other cartridge we could find (and you get get those cheaper...Read more 35 of 35 people found the following review helpful: This office machine is perfect for small offices, By This review is from: Brother MFC-8420 Laser Multifunction (Office Product) For our small office of 6 people, we have been looking for an office machine that is easy to operate, reliable, and cost-effective. The four contenders are HP 3330 MFP, Canon D680 imageClass, Brother MFC 9700, Brother MFC 8820D. They are all 4-in-1/5-in-1 machines(Fax, Laser printer, Scanner, Copier, Data/Fax modem) priced below US$800. Brother MFC 9700 is cheaper but comes with a 14.4k modem and only 8MB memory and a smaller flatbed; as the result it faxes and prints slower than MFC 8820D. The remaining three candidates all have excellent "pedigrees" and are well designed and built. However Brother MFC 8820D won at the end for the following outstanding reasons:1. The 'D' in 8820D stands for Automatic duplex copying and printing: It prints on both sides of papers seamlessly and effortlessly. It is not necessary to remove the paper tray manually (a really tedious process in other machines). Duplex "fax receive" saves 30% to 50% in papers by printing faxes on both sides...Read more 18 of 19 people found the following review helpful: Simply perfect, By "gpm56" (Avon, CT United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Brother MFC-8420 Laser Multifunction (Office Product) I have owned three different HP printers and have always thoughtthat they were the best until I bought the Brother MFC8420. The first printer that has been a breeze to set up and it's ease of use is a pleasant surprise. I could talk about all the good features of this MFC all day long but yet cannot think of a single thing I don't like about it. Quality throughout, nothing flimsy. Buy this MFC Laser for all your black & white needs and a Ink Jet printer for your color photo's and your won't be sorry. |
