Brother MFC 9840CDW

$807.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.pcnation.com
it's only been 2 weeks, but so far i'm feeling very smart for making this purchase.cons: at 70+ pounds, this is a beast of a machine for a small, home-office.
from nzwatsons from Buffalo, NY, clickfrom.buy.com
as other reviewers have said, it is large and heavy but i don't think you could make this machine any smaller based on what it does.
from Layne Howard from Los Gatos, CA, clickfrom.buy.com
i printed a color autocad drawing that had text so small you need a magnifying glass to see it--still very clear.

it also design to work as a great all-in-one print/copy/fax station for a home or small business office.
from stever from Reno NV, clickfrom.buy.com
the only reason i gave it a overall 4 is the area to retrive the printed pages is kinda small.

the hl-2170w is a great little convenience printer for home or small office use, but no-one should ever pay $299.99 (or even $300) for it.
