| This multi-purpose machine replaces a Brother MFC 8840D which was damaged in a move and at this price it was more cost-effective to replace than to repair. Fast turnaround on the delivery meant that we were without a scanner for only a few work days. This newer model seems to print a bit faster and is noticeably quieter than the 8840. |

We bought this machine last year.
It has been used extensively. The printing speed is wonderful.
Only one minor issue with the paper intake. After a few months usage the paper tray started to have trouble when the tray was fully loaded. We need to take out some paper and retry. Some times we had to repeat the process several times before the paper tray can be successfully installed. From time to time when the tray is successfully loaded the papers left in the tray is less than half of that the tray can take.

| Just bought my second MFC-8860DN for an apartment complex office. I have the other at my home and I will agree that it is very noisy, but who cares? It's a printer, not a Cadillac. The noise lets you know it's working. The consumables for this printer are reasonably priced for how long they last. It is letting me know that I am nearing the end of my first drum, so that lasted over a year of hard use. The Brother software works well on PC and Mac, I have mine networked through both. Scans and copies letter and legal, but you have to set up through the software. I have mine set up that if I use the buttons on the printer (which is more common) it scans letter, but if I use the software buttons, it scans legal. I really don't have anything bad to say about this printer and I have been seriously underwhelmed by printers my whole life. It's a big, medium volume printer for a heavily used home office or equivalent. If you have this need, this is the printer for you. |

"Awesome printer" | 2008-07-13 |

This was a small-business purchase and we upgraded from an every-day home office inkjet to this laser beast. It turns out to be an awesome printer as many other reviews have noted, which was my reasoning for purchasing this model and brand. I have never owned any products by Brother, but the company seems to produce quality products.
Should you be interested in purchasing this printer, the only con I'd have to say it has it it's paper tray. I believe it only holds 50 sheets, which at a small-business, they get consumed very quickly. So, you (and we) may want to consider purchasing the additional optional paper tray so you don't have to refill the tray as much. Or, save money and don't let the frequency of adding paper bother you. |

This multifunction Brother machine is simply outstanding....... I bought this Printer in July 2007 (I wanted to wait for sometime before i write any reviews), I have not had any, any problems with this Unit so far. Its working great. This printer is indeed a great purchase for me.
The only thing could have been better would be printing evelopes, which i really don't need much. If you wanna print envelopes on this machine, it won't work great.....other than that this is awsome machine.
Print quality is little light too as compare to other similar machines but the work quality and especially duplex printing is wowwwwwwww.
I would definitely reccommend this machine.

| I'm a teacher, so the expense seemed justified. I was so tired of spending half my income on inkjet cartridges! I use it constantly without any problems. My only gripe is that it can handle only 28 pound paper, and I use 32 pound for my resumes etc. I still run the 32 pound through it, and it works fine. I do wonder if I'm damaging the rollers though. |

This product has completely lived up to my expectations. Easy to operate. My staff especially likes the auto-feed and the ability to easily do duplexing.
I liked it so well I bought one for my home. |

I bought the Brother MFC-8860DN about three months ago, so I don't know how well it will hold up. However, this printer is near perfect in it's operation. Given what it does, it is a great price. This is the finest printer I have owned. My wife and I love it.
It prints crisp copies, both one and two sided. I found it quiet and fast and was particularly pleased with the quality of the copies. The single user USB installation was easy. I had no problem with the high power draw mentioned by some purchasers. The paper tray holds a half ream of paper which is nice. The scanner is of adequate quality and has excellent flexibility in retained user settings. |

I previously owned ink jet MFC machines - they got the job done but very slowly. After reviewing about every Laser MFC on the market - I was most impressed by this one - price and features. It has not disappointed me one bit. Scans multiple pages in seconds, prints and copies with excellent quality and speed.
This is my 6th Brother printer I have purchased (I also own or have purchased Ricoh, HP, Epson, Panasonic and Canon). I will never buy another make - they are fantastic in price and quality - not to mention longevity! Cheap toner and supplies to boot! |
