Worst Purchase Ever
Date:December 19, 2010
By Michelle
I had this printer for less than a year, and it's already broken. Very poor design on the back door. It can't help but break over time.

Great Printer
Date:July 31, 2010
By cessnutts
from Raymore, MO
This is a great printer for all use. My husband first bought one for his small business and never had any problems. Since my children are in high school and middle school now, I decided to get one for them and one for me.
It's a great model for any use. Easy to use and easy to clear paper jams (they don't happen very often). The only thing bad that I have to say is that the toner is expensive.

Does nothing but jams
Date:July 22, 2010
By Ethel
This printer jams for every third page, if not every page, no matter what quality paper you use. Unless you love paper jams, buy something else. I've never had such a frustrating printer. I won't be purchasing a Brother printer again.

Small Business Office Use
Date:July 15, 2010
By YourBrother
from Danville, Indiana
Overall - good value.
The TN-330 standard toner does not last very long.
Get some toner bleed - especially if you print double-sided.

Great buy
Date:July 13, 2010
By dpump
from Greensboro, NC
I have only printed 40-50 pages so far, but I am very pleased with the quality. Installation and setup was very simple and everything has worked perfectly. I bought this unit to print financial statements to save using my inkjet printer and it has met my expectations. I would gladly purchase this product again.

A mixed bag
Date:July 12, 2010
By OBrotherWhereArtThou
from Pittsburgh, PA
I bought the printer for use with my daughter's new laptop PC for college. I have a Brother HL-1440 that is at least 5 years old and is trouble free. All I have ever had to do is buy a couple new toner cartridges. The HL-2140 was inexpensive, but seems to be made that way, too. It jams frequently with good quality copy paper. Brother sent me a new toner cartridge, I guess because of some problem. I have not seen any other reviews mention the paper jam problem, so maybe I just have a lemon.

Great Value

I use it all the time and it performs flawlessly. I print labels and the back side of pages through the direct feed slot. I've had my HL-2140 for 7 months and I'm very glad I switched from ink jet to laser.
If you only need B&W this is an excellent machine.

Great bang for the buck!

I bought this printer for high speed printing purposes. It has not disappointed me in any way. The printer prints five pages for each one my old ink jet did.

Compact size disguises a high quality and fast printer for a reasonable price. Would recommend to anyone for home or small office use.

Good Value
Date:July 7, 2010
By Kenneth
from Winchester, Va
Printer is compact and performs well.
It has some difficulty with the final page or so in the tray. When it runs out of paer, it tends to jam the final sheet.
It printed on both sides with no problems.
Well pleased.

great little printer
Date:July 6, 2010
By lauren
we were purchasing new printers for the office and this printer was a great price and we had never had problems with our other brother products. We ended up buying four and have never been happier. Rated this product a 4 because there is always room for improvement!

Like it

By BrotherLove
from Los Angeles
Was really happy with the following:
FAST, great price for printer and per page, DUPLEXING is easy, even made a booklet which the printer handles proper page layout for. Took a while to figure out how, but happy with the results.
I even used some strange, handmade paper with rough edges. Got jammed but quite simple to unjam.

Great Printer
Date:July 5, 2010
By Dean
from Colorado
This is a great little laser printer. It warms up quickly, is quiet while printing and the print quality is very good. It did use up the included toner quickly, so it will be interesting to see how long the new cartridge lasts.

By mountainlady

Pro: The printing and price are great. Compact size works well for me.
Con: The error light comes on frequently and it takes forever to figure out what is wrong. Sometimes nothing is wrong, the light just comes on. Putting in new paper is cumbersome, but that is offset by not having a paper tray sticking out to be bumped into, knocked off, etc.

This printer is great. I replaced my HP 1012, which is similar, with this one. Then I went out and bought a second one on sale. Wait for the sales. Great B&W printer.

Good Little Unit
Date:July 4, 2010
By HalG
from Washington, IA
I have used a whole variety of Laser and inkjet printers in my day. This is a great little unit. Quick, with good quality at a very reasonable price on sale.
My only frustration is the single sheet bypass. It is hard to get sheets in straight and the printing is often crooked on the page.
