I gave two eggs because it is a decent printer. But for the price, I expect much more reliability from the printer AND support!

Good features and the LCD controls are large and easy to use

I purchased this printer in May 2015; Immediately after setting it up I found that the upper paper feed door interferes with the lower paper tray; I contacted support and they quickly sent another; The second one had the same issue but not as bad.

The printer works as described. Some people have described this as a monster product but once out of the box I found it not much different than other similar products to move and place on the counter. The installation software was easy to run and seemed to work ok.

The MFC-L8850CDW is a fast and capable workgroup multifunction loaded with impressive features and networking and it is built to last. The Brother software has a smallish footprint and does not bog down your computer with marketing software. It's all business. The MFC-L8850CDW is one HEAVY printer.

Brother printers have usually been designed for individual to SOHO uses, but the company has just launched a new range geared towards corporate use. We recently spent some time with the MFC-L8850CDW, which is pitched at organisations with around 20-50 users, and that could include SOHO environments...

Bought this unit to replace an old mono Brother MFC with Duplex scanning. Same price as I paid years ago but with color and easier scanning. The inclusion of a new Black Toner cartridge sealed the deal. Printing is crisp and clean.

Colour printer/scanner that can operate with cable or wifi network and can automatically print in booklet format (saves paper and creates nice compact documents if you have to carry them around). Very pleased with it.

This printer is so good because it has it all. It has a fax function, prints, and is wireless. I think that is all anyone can ask for when wanting a generic office printer! It is very good, have had no problems with this brother printer so far.
