Bought this printer through Costco. I read reviews on just about every printer in this price range and they all had negatives, but this one had the least. So far this printer has exceeded my expectations. Efficient, quiet, fast, and great quality. Highly recommend for a small office setting.

ATTENTION : Sur quatre cartouches, deux sont arrivées avec le sac de plastic mal scellé. Il est primordial que les cartouches soient bien scellées hermétiquement pour éviter que le toner ne sèche. J'ai d? retourner ce produit.

Colour laser multifunction peripherals (MFPs) are never beautiful, but the clunkiest thing about Brother's MFC-L8850CDW is its name - we challenge you to remember it after a drink.

Very easy to set up & use wireless. Print quality is very good. When printing large number of copies it stops for a few seconds every 30 pages or so I assume to prevent heat build up. It still prints 32 pages per minute with the pause. Excellent app to print from your Android or Apple phone.

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.
