Crisp, sharp print, fast, great duplex

Excellent output, very crisp, sharp text and good graphics. Takes a big electrical load when heating up and is a bit noisy, but quieter than the older HL-5470DW. There is a setting that makes it even quieter but slows it down a bit.

Does the job

This is my second Brother Printer in 3 years that I have bought for the office, one is the MB5360, which I really like. I generally would recommend their product, but this HL-L5100DN is a bit noisy. It sits on my desk and is quite big.

Brother HL-L5100DN review

The rather drab Brother HL-L5100DN may look uninspiring, but this simple cube can hold a lot of paper and a lot of toner and print at speeds that make some other laser printers look like leisurely inkjet machines.
