Had this unit for 5 years and it still keeps producing reliable copies. The fax function works well and the scan function connects to my computer without a hitch. I print about 300 pages a month, fax about 30 or 40 pages, and scan about 15 documents. For medium duty use it has been the most reliable machine I have owned.

Issues

We have 5 of these units and have had issues w/the rollers on all of them. They seem to wear out fast and squeak a fair amount. We call for service at least once every 2 months for one of these units.

I have been very pleased with the faultless services this product has provided for over 7 yrs in my small business. Very well designed, simple to use and well made.

Not as good as previous model

I insisted on buying this model to replace the MFC 8500 I had used for 8 years without a problem until the laser reader died. This model does not perform even close to the workhorse my previous version was. I will be looking to replace it much sooner than I had hoped because it is not meeting my business needs as the other version had.
