One of the best multi-function centers I've dealt with

 

My husband and I run two businesses right from our home. We have bought many pieces of office equipment, including two Brother centers, one being this mfc210. What I like about it is the many functions. You can copy, print from your computer, fax, and ...

Many functionsIncludes digital camera card plug-in

Ink seems to run out quickly

If ink cartridges are gallons of gasoline, this printer would be the ford excursion

 

Bought this printer a year ago for about 130 dollars I guess. Probably payed that amount threefold since then for ink. First of all, the ink is expensive, and for a period of time every 2 months, there will be a cycle of replacing ink cartridges. One ...

Uh

Noisier than a garbage truck, ink junkie, jams even if there isn't one, etc

Unreliable! Fine for a few months, then major ink problems, and worse!

 

RUN AWAY from this printer! I couldn't agree more with the other negative reviews. What really bothers me, is that I LOVED this printer at first, and now it doesn't even work AT ALL! I'm actually grateful that it has reached this point, because now I ...

Worked great for a few months

Ink guzzler (or liar), difficult to operate, randomly turns itself off, eventually dies completely

Inexpensive, featureful, compact unit for home or office

 

I bought this MFC-210C printer for my desk at work about 8 months ago, after using the MFC-420CN at home for a few months. Sometimes I print things that I don't want to lose behind a coworker's fifteen thousand page powerpoint presentation, like ...

Cheap supplies, small footprint, good print quality, great price

Printer stops if one ink cartridge runs out. Otherwise, no problems

Not a Good Choice

 

Why Brother? I needed standalone FAX, flatbed scanning, and color printing. The Brother 210C provided all these features and more at a reasonable price. I was also attracted to the ability to replace individual ink cartridges instead of paying ...

Price, features, ink cheaper than HP

Fading print quality, Wasted ink

PIECE OF CRAP

 

Hello all. I bought this printer for my mom Xmas 2004 for $130. The truth is i really wanted it but bought it for her Windows 98 dino computer. I liked the fact that it had all these features.... printer, fax, color copy, scanner, and it has 3 ...

Good but not great.

 

I have had my MFC-210C for around a year now and have been fairly pleased with its capabilities. I have used it to scan items, print pictures and text, copy pages, and load digital pictures onto my computer. When I bought my printer I was looking to ...

Multi-function, decent quality, affordable

Uses too much ink, cheap design

Brother MFC-210C: Great printer, copier, scan, fax at good price

 

I bought it on march 2005 and it’s great. I looked also in the usual brands (hp, canon, Lexmark), finally for the price I decided to go with the Brother and never been so happy on taking that decision. The cost was finally $100CAD (before taxes),...

Very good quality. Multifunction. Easy. Fast. Price

Lack of CF type II input. Needs more ink that others printers

Not to bad, great scanning and pictures

 

I had my doubts about this product. I was in the market for an all in one and it seems that most were a bit bulky and space was limited. I like that the paper feeder is inside the machine (nothing protruding) and it is rather low for an all in one. ...

Small, low from desktop, great quality picture printing and scanning, quiet and good ink

Thick stock paper issues, envelope feeding issues

Consumer review (epinions.com)

Looks cheap, but better than HP or Lexmark.

 

My mother bought this printer after some input from me. I'll never again buy a printer with the print head on the cartridge. It's an environmental waste. And expensive too. Now it's been half a year since she's had it and darn. The thing runs sweet. ...

Consistent Ink flow. Even after a refill. (some cleaning might be warranted now and then

Paper jams when printing in draft mode. Feels cheap
