Very Reliable Brother

Advantages: Cordless phone, quick document scanning
Disadvantages: small recording time of answering machine

...The Brother FAX-1560 is an inkjet fax machine with an integrated telephone as well as an answering machine. The use of inkjet technology means that your received fax documents will be of high quality, but will not be waterproof like all inkjet technology using devices. Other technologies are also put into practice on this fax machine, one technological advantage is the transmission of super fine details and the auto-correctness of errors that occur during transmission. Another advantage is the Fax machines ability to reduce long documents to A4 size. The on-board modem delivers a 14,400 bps(bits per second) transfer speed, which converts to 14 kbps (kilo-bits per second). Which does not seem a lot, but is sufficient enough to transfer the required data. This is because all fax machines as well as this one convert documents into...

Review of Brother FAX-1560

Oh Brother, what a pile of poo

Advantages: looks like it could withstand a baseball bat attack
Disadvantages: tempremental, toner finisher is poor, cannot add up, copies at a snails pace

...I use this fax machine at work and it is the cause of so much stress and tension I thought I would let you all know how I was beaten by such a plain, dull and basically annoying machine that jams on a regular basis, smudges fax transmissions and forgets to send certain important pages at random. If you wanted to buy a Brother FAX 8360P and I would urge everyone reading not to it would cost around £230 and for that you get the fax machine, a network cable to hook it up to your LAN and a lead to plug it into the phone network to enable transmissions. We have had our Brother FAX 8360P for 6 months and the problems started pretty much straight away and the instruction manuals FAQ are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard, as it the manufacturers support. In theory the fax machi9ne should allow you to send and receive documents...

  Brother FAX Facts

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

..., you have to remember to erase the memory frequently though, or it will quickly fill up with faxes and leave no room for voice messages. BROTHER'S RIBBON CARTRIDGE The Brother FAX-T86 has a ribbon cartridge. This reminds me of the old-fashioned typewriter ribbons, only it's much bigger. It's the width of an A4 piece of paper and holds ribbon the length of 144 sheets of A4 in each cartridge!. The print quality isn't brilliant, but it is readable. It is expensive to run (replacing your ribbon with a twin pack from Viking, faxes work out at 4.9p per sheet), but shouldn't suffer from the same "drying out" problems as the inkjet fax machine. You do receive a full size ribbon cartridge with the machine when bought new. Many fax machines provide "cut-down" versions of their consumables, so you need to watch out for that and buy a spare...

Review of Brother T86

BEST BROTHER IN THE WORLD

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: none

...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...

Advantages: Good story, good acting, lovely scenery
Disadvantages: John Wayne!

Big Brother

Advantages: A Lot
Disadvantages: Could not find any

...I had to set up an office on a shoestring. Well, actually it was in what used to be my sitting room but you know what I mean. One of the things we needed was a plain paper fax. I used to have one of those giant toilet roll jobs but that was very inconvenient with long documents and kept getting jammed up. Anyway, we bought one of these machines and it has sat between me and my partner in crime for about eighteen months. Now I will be truthful. I wasn't intending to write about this machine and had resolved that today I would just read what others had written and keep my mouth shut. But I have just had an experience with this machine that prompted me to write. It needed a new cartridge. Have you ever noticed that the ink always runs out in the middle of receiving a fax? Funny that... Now, I've changed a cartridge before on this...

Review of Brother FAX 1030E Plain Paper

Brother MFC-235c all in one inc fax capability.

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 ink refill kit, which worked OK, but it meant that 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...

Washing with ribbons, whatever next?!!!!

Advantages: Lovely lingering scent
Disadvantages: Messy lid

...clever way, you see not once did they mention it was a moisturiser or beauty fluid, they just used clever advertising to draw the women in. You also couldn't just walk in a chemist and buy it, the pharmacists had to order it on demand. The beauty fluid name wasn't added until 1970, Proctor and Gamble acquired the company in 1985 and also started to extend the range to include body washes, cleansers and creams. In 1999 the famous name was changed to just "Olay" across the world and also in 1999 the anti aging range "Total Effects" was launched and the rest as they say is history! PRODUCT STATEMENT If you like the feel of a light lotion, use Olay body was plus lotion ribbons- the only Olay body wash that adds an actual ribbon of lotion. The luxurious, fragrant lather softens your skin and visibly enhances its smoothness in just 7 days...

A Horrible Fax Machine!

Advantages: ... it's a fax machine
Disadvantages: EVERYTHING

...I warn my readers that this could be a raging review since I just threw this fax machine into the bin. Not only it costed me more than £30 two years ago but for the little times I've needed it it hardly worked properly. This morning I was trying to send a fax and the paper kept jamming into the rolls... but let's proceed in order. This Olivetti Fax-Lab is one of those product that you always see in offer (and for a reason), a couple of years ago they costed even up to £60-£70 but I found mine with a 40% discount so, since I often needed to fax documents and stuff like that, I bought it without second thoughts Later on I found out that I didn't need to fax documents SO often to justify purchasing a fax machine but still, it has been useful sometimes. But most of the times it was dreadful (read problems later on) THE MACHINE...
