Brother 8065DN

Advantages: Combined Fax/answerphone, good paper handling
Disadvantages: Print quality only satisfactory, expensive consumables

...Our office fax machine gave up the ghost recently. It was a BT Paperjet-60, and while we had been fairly happy with it, it lasted less than two years. Wanting something a little more reliable, and being very pleased with our two Brother laser printers, we opted for a Brother T86. WHY A COMBINED FAX - ANSWERPHONE? Before the BT Paperjet 60, we owned a fax machine without an answerphone built in, and went through 5 different answerphones trying to get a combination that worked. Frequently, the answerphone would collect faxes on tape, and the fax machine would try to receive answerphone messages, or neither would work at all. In the end, we chucked the lot and opted for a combined machine. Like our previous machine, the Brother has a built in answerphone. For some reason the elctronics industry like to refer to an answerphone... Read review

...Last month I made an extremely useful acquisition in the Brother FAX-920. I have now been using it for over 6 weeks and I felt it was now time to share some information with you on something that I have certainly not regretted buying. First of all let me touch on the appearance of the machine.

...I really don’t know where I would be without my brother, he is very reliable, always there for me, takes messages for me when I’m out, he is so perfect. Yes you may have quest by now my brother is a machine. I purchased this wonderful machine about a year ago; I needed to get a new fax machine, as my old ones days were numbered. I was given the old one and it was very big and took up a lot of room, as it was an office machine, but did its job. I looked around for some time until I found the perfect one. This model is much more than just a fax machine, it is also a telephone, and messenger and photocopier all rolled into one, which is brilliant. No more going to the library to get copies done, no more missed telephone calls; it’s a godsend. I will explain about the functions available. The Telephone Key Pad... Read review
