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 MFC-7420 Multifunction

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

Advantages: Very economical on ink.
Disadvantages: None that I know of

...or second use! Compatible cartridges are prohibitively expensive, as they need to have a chip and a printhead in every cartridge!! This is where the Canon MFC-235c really shines, it has 4 cartridges that fit conveniently at the front of the printer, these are little more than ink "tanks" Good quality compatibles can be purchased for as little as £6.95 total for all the four tanks including postage on Ebay. I also appreciate the fact that this printer cleans itself, as you always know that your printer will always be clean and ready to print that unexpected Fax or copying job, if that means that it uses more ink, I`m sure you can afford it, it`s cheap enough! Also the printer uses an ink dot "counter" for each cartridge, which is reset when a new cartridge is installed, this can also be reset with the software. I also found that all other...

Review of Brother 235C

Oh Brother!

Advantages: Does everything except make me a cup of tea
Disadvantages: None I can think of yet!

...order to use their fax machine but now we can do it ourselves. Another function on the faxing is that the machine can fax from file so it does not actually need a hard copy in order to get a good faax. I have not done this but my hubby did and he said that it was quite easy and the recipient got a good copy. So it does everything it says on the box. But what about ink and the cost of replenishing the ink supply? I thought that because this is a Brother 4 in 1 machine that it would be really expensive but I have been proved wrong. The printer comes with 4 separate catridges - black, blue, red and yellow. The cost over here to replace them is 10 Euros each which works out at around £7 a cartridge. So thats 40 Euros or £27/28 to replace all 4 in one go. And thats for generic Brother cartridges - there are compatible ones out there...

Review of Brother MFC-215C

Brother MFC 9060

Advantages: Cheap toner, excellent quality
Disadvantages: does not like cheap copy paper to print on!

...Having recently started my own business, i was on the look out for a good value fax machine. Having had a Brother fax machine at my previous job i was impressed by its reliablilty and the cost of consumables. Whilst looking at rival fax machines, i could not find one that matched the excellent specification or price. The printer can be used as a multifunction device, however i only utilise it as a fax machine. However i have the back up that if one of my printers breaks down i can use the machine as a back up it could also be used as an emergency scanner or photocopier, although you can only feed sheets through it, so its use is limited on these points. The only slight niggle i have with the machine is that it does not seem to like my cheap copy paper that i use, and it sometimes requires that i only have one sheet in the feeder...

Review of Brother MFC 9060

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...

HE AINT HEAVY, HES MY BROTHER

Advantages: LARGE MEMORY, BUILT IN SCANNER, EASY TO INSTALL.
Disadvantages: COST, DOESNT PRINT THAT FAST.

...MY EXPERIENCE. I use a fax machine everyday in my job, I'm always faxing internal and external customers various literature and information. We did have a very old fax when i started her last in august 2003, it was very slow indeed, the pages went through about 1 every 30 seconds at times, and the paper used was the horrible fax rolls type, which got jammed up inside it every now and again, which is very annoying. So after a bit of moaning and groaning, and abit of pressure, we finally got a new fax machine, and this is what we got. The installation was so easy, plug in the mains power, then plug in the phone line, away we go, easy peasy, Obviously installation would be abit more difficult without mains power or a phone line already installed, but we didn't have this problem. Upon powering it up, we needed to put in some A...

Review of Brother PS-33 Sewing Machine

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

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...

Review of Crazy Fit Vibration Massage Plate Exercise Machine

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...
