Summary: Brother MFC845CW is a good buy since the performance / price ratio is high. Big color LCD, you can preview your printing, Wireless network ready, you can print anywheer in your home. from Onsale.com Summary:Brother MFC845CW is a good buy since the performance / price ratio is high. Big color LCD, you can preview your printing, Wireless network ready, you can print anywheer in your home. from Mwave.com Pros: small nifty Cons: never works for long, tech support has bad hours The Bottom Line: Do not buy the Brother wireless printer because it frequently has problems connecting. from Shopping.com All of the good reviews for this product are from users who reviewed it when it was still new, or from "reviewers" who have actually never used it for anything other than a demo. The features and specifications of the Brother MFC-845cw sound impressive, and indeed, at first blush, it is a very nice machine. However, the experience quickly goes sour. from Amazon.com For that price, it is a great buy. Setup - From ripping the box open to getting all the features working, took me about 45 minutes. This is reasonable considering the several cool features offered by this little MFC ! Size - Best thing about this product is that it packs in many features in a small size like those ugly looking Canon or Epson printers. from Amazon.com I'm replacing it and dumping it in the recycle bin. It's strictly a device sold to generate ink sales. Trust me, any positive reviews here were either written by Brother employees, or by people who did not have it long enough to realize they'd been had. The worst piece of computer equipment I've ever bought - lesson learned - nothing from Brother, ever again. from Amazon.com Pros: Scans, Prints, Copies, Faxes, Wireless, answering machine, 5.8ghz phone, photo card readers, USB port, etc... What more could you ask for? I had a MFC-440cn and sold it along with my HL-1440 B&W Laser when I purchased my new MFC-9440cn Color Laser. Selling the MFC-440cn was a big mistake and I realized it too late (Color Lasers don't print well on photo paper and the inkjets do). from Newegg.com I'm out of black. The phone part still works, but the screen beeps all day long and says NO BLACK CARTRIDGE!". I leave it on to remind myself never to buy a Brother product again. Someday I will get a boat, and this unit will become my $425.00 ($225 + $200 for ink) anchor. from Amazon.com Pros: Sharp looking. Much smaller than an old HP All-In-One that it replaced. Nice to be able to print from my laptop without having my main computer on. from Newegg.com The printer works ok when it works. The setup was horrific, very difficult. On top of it, the software and user manuals (both physical and on Brother's website) are pretty bad. After finally getting everything setup, it drops its wireless singal frequently, which means I have to go Menu -> LAN -> WLAN -> Setup WLAN... from Amazon.com
