Brother HL-2270DW review: Brother HL-2270DW

With improvements to its output speed, the Brother HL-2270DW improves on its legacy model and provides small businesses an efficient output device for high-volume black-and-white prints. The Brother HL-2270DW laser monochrome printer provides a viable alternative to the classic bottomless money pit that has become today's inkjet printer. Modern photo, tricolor, and high-capacity ink cartridges can cost anywhere from $20 to $100 per refill, so multiply that by your volume of prints and try not to balk at the true cost of operation. As an alternative, supplementing a printer setup with an inexpensive black-and-white laser printer can cut costs in home offices that cycle through black ink cartridges with text-only documents. Although it's not without its shortcomings such as poor graphic document output, the Brother HL-2270DW balances out with speedy text printing and simple 802.11 b/g wireless for $149.99.
Pros:
  • The Brother HL-2270DW lives up to Brother's reputation for reliable
  • easy-to-use
  • wireless monochrome laser printers.
Cons:
  • The printer struggles to provide visually acceptable graphic documents.

Brother HL-2270DW review

Automatic duplexing and wireless make the Brother HL-2270DW a more-than-basic laser printer, but its toner costs are high.

This printer is awesome

Great printer for the money, especially if you can find it on sale. Genuine printer cartridges are also very cheap and I find them in most tech store circulars at a discount at times only slightly higher than remanufactured.
Pros:
  • Cost-effective
  • Prints fast
  • Wireless, duplexing built-in
  • High capacity toner cartridge last 4 times as long as in-box original
Cons:
  • Some issues printing on Window machines when printing to it on Wifi though it works without any issue on my Macs

Brother HL-2270DW

We can't fully recommend it based on the consumable prices we've seen. However, if they drop significantly, we could well be upgrading it to an award.

The Brother HL-2270DW is a simple mono laser printer. Apart from wireless networking it doesn't have any fancy features - it does a good job of printing monochrome pages quickly, with a fast time for the first page to be printed and quick overall print speeds.
Pros:
  • Fast print speeds
  • Good first page out time
Cons:
  • Other budget lasers have larger toner cartridges
  • Manual feed is only a single sheet
