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.

Fast print speeds; Good first page out time

Other budget lasers have larger toner cartridges; Manual feed is only a single sheet

Pros + Print quality is outstanding for 600dpi + Fast (I've gotten up to 26ppm) + 250-sheet capacity paper tray + Automatic duplexer + Equally easy to setup as a wired printer. Cons - Starter Toner Cartridge good for only ~700 pages Summary SETUP Network and driver setup is a breeze.

I like the quality and size of this printer. It's perfect for home office use, but I wanted to easily print from my iOS devices. It is possible, but not without jumping through hoops. I don't like jumping through hoops, so I exchanged the printer for a HL-5450DN.

good quality build small footprint inexpensive to maintain

ios support is a kluge at best

The market for small, desktop, mono laser printers is crowded, with the main differentiators being speed, duplex print and wireless connection. Brother's HL-2270DW has the last two of these and a claimed top speed of 26ppm.

Small footprint; low profile; 1,200 page starter toner; Cabled network support

Messy WPS setup; No NFC support; No expansion potential

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 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 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

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.

Cost-effective; Prints fast; Wireless, duplexing built-in; High capacity toner cartridge last 4 times as long as in-box original

Some issues printing on Window machines when printing to it on Wifi though it works without any issue on my Macs

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 lives up to Brother's reputation for reliable; easy-to-use; wireless monochrome laser printers
