This is my third Brother laser printer. I had the MFC 8440 and the HL 5140. They both are still working well. The HL-5240 is doing just as well so far. It prints fast and the print quality is good especially when you compare to the inkjets that I used to have. I use it in a small office and so for it is keeping up the the volume we need. It light weight makes it easily movable if needed. The...
Strengths: Paper handling, manual bypass tray, small size, fast printing, cheap, good looks!
Weakness: Construction does not feel very sturdy, no bundled cables.
Ever since purchasing a Brother fax machine last year at work, I have been replacing our aging HP products with Brother's, and loving them. Not only are they cheap to buy, they are dependable and works like a charm. The 5240 is small enough to fit on your desk, and quiet enough not to disturb your co-workers. I have yet to have a paper jam in one of these under heavy use! I have 3 of these in my...
Strengths: Fast printing.
Weakness: When printing alot of paper, it gets too hot to touch. Rollers wear out too fast. Not recommended for office use.
Have bought 6 so far. First one we thought it was bad so we got rid of it. The second one worked fine for a day and had the same problems the first one had as did the other 4, printing too hot and roller wearing out after 2 weeks. I believe it is a Manufacturer defect. Poorly made. Do not recommend this model. Never had this problem with the HL-5140 or the HL-1440. Needs to be recalled. Very...
Strengths: Speed
Weakness: Quality of the printing
I have not been able to get a clean crisp copy out of this printer since I day I got it -- two years ago. Spent and inordinate amount of time on the phone and web trying to fix the problem to no avail. Tried a new cartridge and that didn't help, nor did Brother customer service. I honestly can say that there isn't anything I haven't tried. I use it to print drafts and my old work horse HP DeskJet...
Strengths: excellent quality print
Weakness: cartridges and drum assembly expensive
print quality is very good even though I had to send my first printer back because it was getting printer errors (the indicator lights were lighting up). The replacement printer is performing flawlessly. The cartridges and drum assembly is almost as the whole printer itself.
Strengths: Fast printing, enclosed paper tray
Weakness: A bit on the large size, drains a large amount current every 2 minutes or so, trouble printing envelopes.
I bought this printer for my father a few months ago (his first laser). Printing speeds are fast, faster than my Samsung ML=2010. I love the enclosed paper tray. However, this does make the printer have a mildly larger footprint than my ML-2010. My only complaint is the "second tray" where you feed envelopes and other sizes of paper. The printer seems to want to feed the envelope, then jam. After...
Strengths: Fast speed and cheap
Weakness: Quality just OK. Size is big.
I was using this in the last two weeks. I got it from staples less than $100. It prints very fast. The printing speed is faster than my previous Laser HP 1018, but the weight and size is heavy and big. Anyway, in this price, this is a very good printer. Strong recommend to buy one!
Strengths: Over 25 PPM, reasonable price
Weakness: No obvious weakness
Solid, good price (STAPLES has a rebate now) a bit over $100. All lasers are much cheaper per page than ink jets. Quiet and solidly built. I've done well with several Brother printers. Toner cartridge is refillable with toner purchased on EBAY.
Strengths: Great price ( under $90 ) fast, sharp prints
Weakness: no included USB cable
I purchased this to replace a 1 year old HP inkjet that was malfunctioning. I love the speed from this little workhorse. Although listed as a weakness the lack of a USB cable isnt that big of a deal since most people would be using this to replace an existing printer so they would already have a cable.

The brother HL-5240
Strengths: Affordable and small compared to other lasers. Dependable. Good initial value
Weakness: Cheap construction, expensive toner (aren't they all?), no cable (get them from monoprice.com)
Most people's complaints here can be said about most laser printers (expensive toner, no cables). Compared to my lexmark laser printer, this printer is MUCH more compact (great if you have limited desk space), however it looks and feels much more flimsy. Other people in this forum have had problems with it overheating, so be careful to use in a well ventilated area. It has 16mgs of memory and is...
