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

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.

I've upgraded through three low-end Brother laser printers, from a basic simplex model to duplex, and now to one that (sort-of) supports Google Cloudprint. Alas, there is a bug with the Cloudprint feature such that the printer "signs out" and goes offline after a few days.

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

Quick, easy to use and double sided printing. I don't know how I survived before I got this Brother HL-5450DN printer! Everything is running smoothly and I have had it almost a month, printing more than 500 sheets every week.

I bought this printer mainly for iPad. Setup was a breeze and works great. Print quality as expected with a laser printer. Airprint feature on this printer is great for iPad/iPhone use and print outs comes out exactly the same as you would normally with a PC.

airprint compatibility

none

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.

This printer is/can be a little bit loud when starting up or printing. It is a bit large, but not as large as many lazer printers I've seen. Seems to be a good print quality from the one page I printed so far from google maps with directions. Picture and print were both good/excellent quality.

sounds like a good solid printer good print quality

sound is a little much black and white so no colour; maybe should have usb3.0 interface

I am pleased with this printer so far, it's faster than my previous model; only downside, apart from the price of consumables, it that it is a bit noisy. I will, of course, be annoyed at the cost of the consumables.

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.
