It aint heavy, its my Brother!

Advantages: Excellent print quality. Easy to use and setup, reasonabley cheap to run.
Disadvantages: slightly noisy fan when printing.

...After my 9 year old multifunction decided to chew paper regularly, I decided it was time to replace it. I decided to look for a cheap laser mutlifunction and after browsing different website, I stumbled across this machine at Inmac in its clearance section. It usually retails at around £138, but being an open box product, this particular machine was a bargain £82. On to the review of the machine...... BOX CONTENTS AND SETUP: On opening the box you find..... * The unit itself, * A brand new full size toner (good for 2,500 pages) rather than a starter toner you get with other brands. *Manuals and driver software CD. *Power lead *Some Free Polystyrene :D Setting up of the Brother DCP7010 was very easy. Firstly, decide if you wish to use the parallel port or USB port (cable not included). Then simply load the driver CD into...

Review of Brother DCP-7010 Multifunction

BEAST of a printer, scanner, fax & copier (phew!)

Advantages: A printer, scanner, copier and fax machine (phew!)
Disadvantages: It's heavy in size and in cost.

...What we have here is the Brother MFC-7420 Multifunction digital laser device. Try saying it in one breath. Go on, I challenge you to say it in one breath. Did you manage it? If you did then you probably deserve a medal, but then so would 'Brother' for managing to cram so many features and uses into one device. That is a challenge in itself, and I'd imagine it was far from easy to accomplish and keep the design as attractive as it is. I know what you're thinking though. You've seen plenty of other printers out there that also do copying, scanning and faxing. They may even have been a fair bit cheaper. This is true, but what this item has in its favour is the speed of the printing, the attractive design, the brand name 'BROTHER' attached to it and the hardcore feel of the product. It really does feel like something that would...

Review of Brother PS-33 Sewing Machine

Great Machine!

Advantages: Quick Work-Out, Cheaper than Power Plates, Great Results
Disadvantages: Only tones your body, doesnt keep you fit.

...This machine is simply a must if you want to tone yourself up and not have the hassle of going to the gym for hours each week! I bought one of these off Ebay, and now so glad i did. Its simply an amazing piece of kit. My Personal Experience At first i thought, surely this machine cant be as good as i've been reading all over the net, people must be exagerating and just trying to sell the machine. How wrong i was.... The first time i used this, i trained at level 10 (ranges from 1-20) thinking i can take it at that level no problem, and sure enough i was ok, i did a few different positions for my legs, stomache and arms. I trained for about 10 minutes, as i wanted to see how much this would actualy do, and sales reports tell me that 10minutes of using this machine is equivelent to 1 hour at the gym. Boy oh boy did i feel it...

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...

Review of Brother FAX 8360P

My Brother

Advantages: Easy to use, high quality, one-step automatic buttonhole attractives
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I began my Textiles GCSE in year 10 (age 14 ? 15, or "year 4" for the oldies out there) but I only began to enjoy it in year 11, my last year. After six months, I had fallen in love with designing and making items on the sewing machine! So, for my 16th birthday this April, six months too late to help with my GCSE, I received a sewing machine from my parents as a present. I chose it myself with my dad and in John Lewis, and then my dad did the wonders with his credit card? The sewing machine we purchased was a Brother PS-33. Brother is the most popular brand of sewing machines in the UK and produce different ranges and differents models: varying in price, features, expertise needed and purpose. The PS-33 is from the PS-series (duh!) which is aimed towards the beginner, recreational and/or moderately-skilled user and like most Brother...

While Not On Ciao, This Is Something Else I Do!

Advantages: Fantastic designs, features and very high quality.
Disadvantages: Not portable and heavy.

...When I'm not sitting on the computer being very busy of course, another thing I enjoy doing is making things. My mum really got me into sewing and making clothes when I was little. She was taught by her mum, so wanted it to be the same with me. We have always had a sewing machine in our house and after our last Brother gave up the go (It has lasted more than 8 years of hard labour!) so it was time to get a new one. Of course I resorted to the internet which most of us do now a days. We decided to stay with Brother as we knew the brand well and was very happy with our last eowing machine. However times had really changed since we bought out last machine. After doing a lot of comparison on the Brother website What Is It The Brother BC2100 is one of the most popular domestic use sewing machines. It is designed for beginners who are...

  Brother FAX Facts

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 as...

Review of Brother T86

great machine it works!

Advantages: it does asa it says
Disadvantages: might make you feel dizzy

...i can say that this is a great machine it really works and gives you good results i wouldnt say the best but you can certainly tell after a period of time that your body has toned up, i havent got one of these myself but i would like to get one when i can afford it lets say. the vibration on this machine is not like a massage its more intense and when you stay on it for quite a while you will feel your muscles tightnen thats when you know its working. so i definatly gives this machine a thumbs up, i suggest you buy this machine if your too lazy or bored to go to the gym because you can do many exercises on this in the comfort of your own home. this is a great machine and would recommend this a good buy...

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...
