Strengths: Prints fast, laser ink (I didn't need color) so less water-soluble, actually faxes (my Lexmark x73 never did), so easy to setup, autofeed tray, auto feed slot
Weakness: If I had to think of something, I guess it would be that the auto-feed slot, it will grab the paper once you insert it a certain amount, so make sure the paper is not inserted at an angle.
Wow. I hated my Lexmark x73 because of many problems I won't bore you with. So, I researched and found this wonderful unit refurbished with a good warrantee so I bought it with a credit card that matches the warrantee and feel secure. I read many reviews on both amazon, pricegrabber, and other sites and was convinced of its quality. The fact it faxes is just an added bonus. It prints crisply. I...
Strengths: Works well with all apple Hardware & software. All the features work and fast.
Weakness: The auto buttons on the machine work only with Windows OS. But you really don't need them.
This is my second brother all-in-one. I had an mFC-6800 and went through 2 drums, which is about 50K pages. In place of buying another drum, I shelled out a few bucks more to get the latest model. (Drums and Toner are expensive, but they are cheaper than inkjets in the longhaul. Many non-apple devices do not always work as well as adverstised or have limited features to their windows...
Strengths: Super easy to install 30 minutes. Not too noisy. Easy to program.
Weakness: Not had long enough to really find those. However, not overly thrilled about LCD display.
We are really happy with the machine. Print quality is great. Faxes are fast. Have not tried scanning. I was able to manual feed my personal checks with no problems and they look great. Takes up less space than the Brother MFC3820CN. I thought I would have serious problems with the non existent manual feel tray but it was not bad. All in all a great value for the price.
Strengths: All in one functions, look and feel
Weakness: Not easy to adjust print resolution
Here is my review for the sister model of MFC7420 (7820N), the only difference in 7820N is better scan resolution & Networking capabilities, the rest is the same, so my review should apply to MFC 7420 as well. WoW ! This must be the best MFC out there. I have owned several canon, hp, lexmark MFC, photo printers, fax machines etc. This machine is it. All you need is this MFC & a separate photo...
Strengths: Great print quality, cheap to buy and use, small footprint. Picks up faxes well from non-dedicated phone line. Handles different types of media well, even single checks placed in main tray.
Weakness: Manual feeder takes practice to get envelopes to feed straight. Occasional paper jam. Top feeder will pull two pages together occasionally when making copies of multi-page documents.
I bought one for my home office a year ago and have almost 10,000 pages on the counter. I was so impressed that I bought two more for my business, one of which is already over 10,000 pages. We regularly use all functions except scan and this little workhorse has never let us down. It's cheap to run, especially if you buy ink and drums online (save about 35% from retail thanks to pricegrabber!)....
Strengths: Very easy to set up and use.
Weakness: Noticed a foul smell coming from the demo model on the showroom floor when it was running. My unit is fine though.
This is an awesome printer, copier, and scanner. Very easy to use and the software was easy to install on my Windows XP machine. Great value, very dependable. I use it extensively at home. I got rid of my flatbed scanner, fax machine, two laser printers and inkjet printer after purchasing this unit!!
Strengths: Compact size, Auto document feeder
Weakness: none so far.
This Brother MFC 7420 All in one machine can be a very nice choice for somebody who look for the All in one machine for their home use or office use. It has all the functions such as Fax, Copier, Scanner, Printer. Its toner price is reasonable. Highly recommended!!
Strengths: It does what it claims it can do.
Weakness: Too many functions in a tight package.
For the price I paid, I didn't expect a machine I could put to the test. Rather, I have everything I need for my home office in the footprint of a small laser. I give it a firm nod and a bold thumbs up. There were features where I could have the fax incorporated with my desktop, but that was overkill. Prints nicely and quickly. Brother, I will never buy a $50 HP ink cartridge, that's for sure.
The Brother MFC-7420 is an all in one laser center that does printing, faxing, copying and scanning. Similar to the Brother MFC-7220 that was released in the same year, it shoots out 20 pages per minute (newer models with the same price such as the Brother MFC-7340 shoots out 21 pages per minute). It has 2400x600 dpi print quality which is the same as the more expensive MFC 9000 series. It has 35...

Great All in one printer
Strengths: Very fast speed, good quality
Weakness: No scanning firmware for Vista OS yet
Only minor problem which I have right now is that brother has not release scanner firmware for vista so I have to use vista built in software which is fine. But by doing it output is limit either jpeg or Tiff files. I want output as PDF file. In that can it is kind of 2 step process. Ist scan as jpeg, then import it in windows then make a pdf file. Does not take that long just a minor issue.
