The Brother HL-2270DW monochrome laser printer costs $150 (as of August 19, 2011)--a very low price, especially considering that it includes Wi-Fi.

Automatic duplexing; Wireless connectivity,

Expensive toner

This budget-minded, basic mono laser is the perfect combination of price, performance, and feature set for small and home offices with moderate document-printing needs.

Fast; High-quality output; Low cost of consumables for price range

Bare-bones; unintuitive controls; Complicated Wi-Fi setup; A few parts are flimsy

The Bottom Line The Brother HL-2270 laser printer offers a lot of the conveniences of heavier-duty Brother laser printers such as the Brother HL-5370DW , such as wireless networking and built-in duplexing--and it's about a hundred dollars cheaper.

Very fast; Built-in duplexer; Wired / Wireless networking built in and easy to set up; Small footprint; Inexpensive

Single-sheet manual feed slot; No mobile-printing or memory-card printing

The Wi-Fi equipped Brother HL-2270DW provides small businesses with an efficient output device for high-volume black-and-white prints.

Reliable; Easy-to-use; Wi-Fi connectivity as standard

Poor graphic output quality

Smaller businesses looking for a mono A4 laser printer for single-user or small workgroup environments are likely to find devices like the Xerox Workcentre 3550 prohibitively expensive. A far cheaper,...

Brother's new mono laser range aims to cover all the bases. It starts with the HL-2240's 250-sheet tray and 24ppm claimed speed, then adds a duplexer for the HL-2240D, networking and a speed boost for the HL-2250DN, and wireless to all that for this, the flagship HL-2270DW.

This was a replacement printer for a prior one of the same model, which finally died after about 4 years due to drum issues. We have found it to be inexpensive to use, as toner only needs to be replaced maybe twice a year. Starts quick from sleep mode.

This is really an excellent laser printer with exception of the fan

The fan runs after printing for about 15 minutes and it is quite noisy

I shopped around to find the biggest bang for my buck. This printer offers everything i was looking for and works like a champ. I have a Kodak inkjet all-in-one that goes to "sleep" and i have to wake it up to print to it. This laser printer works all the time as long as it is turned on. I love it.

Easy set up; affordable toner cartridge; works great on my wireless network
