Advantages: Very economical on ink. Disadvantages: None that I know of
I really do feel that most reviewers are missing the best feature of this all in one with fax. I had previously been using a Lexmark all in one with fax, the x5470, which I originally bought for £49, I soon found that the cartridges were between £25-30 just for one cartridge, and it only had two cartridges, which meant that the colour cartridge had 3 small compartments in it, that ran out quickly, as when one colour went, that was it!
I bought an ... ...the printer always complained that it was out of ink, and I had no idea when the ink would run out. After refilling the cartridges for the second time, the printer refused to work, as it said that I had fitted an incompatible cartridge, something that I later found out was an inbuilt "fuse" that renders cartridges useless soon after their first or second use! Compatible cartridges are prohibitively expensive, as they need to have a chip and a printhead ...

Advantages: Neat all in one package that's easy to use Disadvantages: None, so far!!!
What can I say, I bought this printer as an impulse buy. I only paid £45 for it brand new from a well known stationery shop. It has replaced a mono-laser printer bought second hand. To get a copier/scanner/printer for £45 is good, but one that faxes as well. It did as was claimed on the box, I just plugged it in, connected it to my laptop and within minutes the drivers were installed and it was ready for use. I was a bit dubious about the fax, but ...

Quick review of Brother 235C
Bought this printer after my trusty Epson stopped scanning.
Unless you leave it switched on all the time, it has this love of automatically cleaning the ink cartridges when you try to print with the result that you nearly need gallon cans of ink on a drip feed to keep it going.
cartridges also show EMPTY when they are not, but it will not print unless you change them.
you can print colour or grey, even though it has a black cartridge, non of that ink has been used yet.
How I miss my Epson!!! ...

Quick review of Brother 235C
I purchased the Borther MFC-235C to replace my HP printer & HP scanner. I wanted a compact combined printer scanner. The machine itself is excellent and was very easy to set up and operate. I didn't want the fax but it was included. The copy facility is excellent for both standard & colour, and the scanner is great. However, the down side is it eats ink. I have fed it with two sets of cartridges in 3 months and so now I only print when necessary, I very rarely, if ever, print photgraphs.
I hate to be negative about this machine but I would not have purchased this machine had I known about the ink consumption as it makes it an expensive printer to operate. ...

Advantages: good scanner software Disadvantages: gobbles ink
most of my printing is done on a balck and white laser printer. I only need the printer bit of this m/c for the odd photo. Unfortunately, I seem to get only one photo per set of colour cartridges, as the self cleaning function just gobbles ink; so that's £30 per photo. Not bad for a £30 m/c. And the self cleaning idea isn't so cleverbecause if I don't replace a cartridge, as soon as the ink runs out, it dries up anyway..
I can't even use it as a ... ...make a good scanner.
I need 120 words. OK.
The Software is good as it offers you a menu of options for the disposition of the scanned items. (although it quickly fills up a folder of cryptically back-up copies).
The Optical character recognition is good for printed text and the resultant doc needs little in terms of tidying up. ...
