Brother MFC-9130CW

The Brother MFC-9130CW is a moderately priced LED-based color MFP best for small offices with occasional need for color printing.

Value priced compared with its peers. Decent speed for its price and rated speed.

Lacks auto-duplexer. No port for USB thumb drive. Sub-par photo quality.

Brother MFC-9130CW Review

Fully featured all-in-one, but is slow and lacks duplex printing

Excellent text quality, well designed interface

Relatively slow, expensive

If you can get over the MFC-9130CW's lack of duplex printing and fairly slow print speeds, it is a decent choice for those looking for a fully featured all-in-one at reasonable price.

Simple Setup, Good Quality

Overall, this is a great machine before, and quite the upgrade over my previous printer. It also claims to support printing on 17# paper.

Sturdy construction, but only weighs about 45 pounds. It is easy to access various parts of the machine for paper jams, as well as toner is easy to change. The touch screen is very responsive and NFC for printing from a mobile device worked on the...

It was a larger machine than my previous printer, but still fit on my desk

Great all-in-one

Just plain works. As usual, Brother is solid

I have had to replace toner (all of them) once in a year. It gets used for personal and a tiny bit of work ; Need better UI. The shortcuts don't quite as you would think for scanning documents to a network drive. Need improvement here. Other than that,...

Can't even use it

If you buy this in a retail store make sure you have the sales associate open it up and check that the toners and drums are inside.

None Yet, haven't been able to use it

I bought this all in 1 but can not use it. I opened up the printer and there were no toners or drums in the printer. Now I have to go through brother and hope they will send me new ones

Brother Printer

I will never purchase another Brother product as the service or ability to return does not exist. A very frustrating transaction!

There is no positive aspect to purchasing a Brother product

I would have given a 0 egg if allowed but there was no option for a 0 egg ; Brother says there is a 1 year warranty, but when tested there is none. It is all on you. Brother's biggest concern is to insinuate Original Brother Toners aren't real and that...
