Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

brilliant

I got this baby about 9 years ago.. it's only now having trouble but that's just because I throw the worst types of paper in it (ie, scrap stuff with holes and the odd accidental staple). It's been dropped, it's cracked, it's been left outside for...

Excellent

Worthy buy in the mono laser printer segment for SOHO use. Doesn't take up much space, is light and portable as well.

Great little printer. Cheap to buy, cost effective to operate

None thus far. And I've had it for 4 years.

An excellent printer, the toner is easily purchased online at reasonable money. I haven't yet had to replace the drum. The printing operation is easy to understand, and double sided printing is a breeze. The back panel opens to allow printing of...

I've had this printer for around 4 years, and it has performed beautifully. The toner lasts for ages and is very cost effective.

The error messages are a little confusing. I would have liked to see a list of error messages printed inside the printer.

Excellent

One machine started squeaking, after having done some 130'000 or so pages, problem getting worse, suspected toner unit had too many refills and needed replacing. Nope. Bearing noise from within the machine. Expecting to lube some piece of plastic nylon...

158'901 pages on one machine done, 140'431 on the oher. A little machine built like a big laser, long lasting, durable, reliable.

Discontinued. Replaced by HL-2040, a piece of plastic trash. Nice machine, faster at 20ppm, but no feedthrough, and too many critical moving components inside plastic. I doubt whether the new HL2040 will last even 50k pages.
