I read a bunch of reviews and this is a VERY durable printer. I just got it, so I can't say much about the durability yet. Although, it seems a bit expensive for just a black and white printer and non wireless.

Great reviews; easy to use; cheap cartidges

Overpriced for what you get

Overall I like the functionality of the printer. It suits my needs. What I didn't like was the extra steps to set up on my Mac. As soon as I tried to install from the cd I was told the program didn't work and to go online. I want to enjoy easy installation.

Overall I am very happy with my purchase. Typically I do a lot of research before buying. Ultimately I decided on the HL-5450DN and PCNATION hit the right price point.

I replaced my aged HP 6p with the HL-5450DN; The Brother is FAST and the printing looks nice and concise along with the graphics

Kinda noisy but when it kicks in it races through the job; Also, Air Print was listed as a feature but you have to be configured in a network for it to work.

The $199 Brother HL-2270DW laser monochrome printer earned a place on CNET's Top Printers list for its budget-friendly price tag and simple design. The company's latest monochrome laser, the HL-5450DN, improves on that model, adding cloud printing and Ethernet networking for $199.

The Brother HL-5450DN is built for busy small offices with Ethernet networking and cloud access through Apple AirPrint; Google Cloud Print; and Brother's iPrint&Scan smartphone app

The iPrint&Scan app can't print PDFs more than 20 pages; nor does it support legacy models like the popular HL-2270DW

This new printer replaces my Brother 5140 that I used for 10 years. It just quietly died and I mourned for a week. The 5450 is so similar, uses the same toner cartridge, but prints twice as fast and automatically prints two sides, if needed. Excellent quality for the price.

I am not normally a fan of Brother products. However, a good review from PC Magazine convinced me to try it. Set-up was easy and straight forward for windows 7. Print qulity is very good. Speed and duplexing are fine. I would recommend.

Easy to Use; Meets Expectations; Features

Not having a network adapter for wireless connection is not a big deal. These days you can buy a wireless print server and attach it with a network cable to this printer in order to print wirelessly.

I bought this as a printer for our winter condo. My CD drive is broken in the condo computer. So, I was unable to install the printer, which can be installed only by CD. Very disappointed. Will take it to my regular home and hook it up to my other computer there because sending it back is a hassle.

The latest printer to hit the market is Brother HL-5450D N, which has been added with some advanced functions and features. This new monochrome laser printer does come with low memory and lacks wireless connectivity. It has been included with status lights instead of an LCD-based menu system.

Excellent paper handling; Affordable; Compact size; Good printing quality

Lacks Wi-Fi; No LCD-based menu system

Compare to other printer, it is very good price. Still I don't suggest it because the two problems: Stupid to print double size, when there in only one page; Instant high power flush can cause power damage. Many times the power panel off.
