Very Slow machine

Strengths: Good quality

Weakness: takes a long time to warm up

If you are retired and do not mind waiting this is a Good quality reliable machine for you. Every time when you want to copy something you just have to wait and wait and wait for the machine to warm up and then you have to wait again for the scanning bulb to warm up. A very good machine if you don't mind waiting.

I want one

Strengths: Great feature set, excellent price/performance

Weakness: high power consumption (38w) while sleeping; loses date/time when powered off

This printer has everything that I want for my home office, at a price point well below anything comparable on the market. It scans to the network, has duplex ADF and printing, legal size scanner, and a host of other features. I read all the reviews, and I want one. I have 2 problems with it: First, the relatively high power consumption when not in use (38w while sleeping, and 30 minute timeout...

Good All Around Printer

Strengths: Print quality, durability, ease of set-up, networking capabilities

Weakness: Network scanning is somewhat iffy

I purchased this product to replace a plethora of printers in my home office and to have one networking printer. The set-up was a breeze and I have been able to access the printer from every computer in the house (PC and Mac), except for one which I am working on now. Printing speed is slower than I expected, but a little faster than the printers I have accessed via Bluetooth. If you are looking...

It's the Best

Strengths: Built in auto duplexing, wireless, Available Linux drivers.

Weakness: None so far.

What an amazing multi-function device. It does everything I've wanted in a multi-function device and more. My two favorite features is it's wireless capabilities and that it works with LINUX. Drivers for the 9840CDW are provided for you in the latest version of Ubuntu (8.04). Brother's website also contain additional drivers to allow scanning and faxing. It's quality is amazing for the price with...

Great all in one solution

Strengths: Great all in one solution Wifi Well built

Weakness: A bit slow

I bought this printer for my home office in April 2008. I wanted a single machine that I could use to print (B&W & Color), Scan, Copy, Fax and it had to be able to duplex, all over a network. I have used it for all of these things and it has been flawless. It was easy to set up (follow the instructions and disable your antivirus software!!!) and has worked perfectly for everything I need. It...

Excellent Machine

Strengths: Printing, scanning, auto feeding, fax, copying, built-in duplexer

Weakness: Heavy, envelopes don't come out very nice

I always wanted a color laser all in one. It's totally the ultimate home machine. Prints fast and nicely. Copies just as nicely. I haven't tried fax nor the wireless. But it has that too if you are interested. This thing has it all. Networkable, duplexer(print,copy,scan) included, ADF, print, copy, fax, and scan. Brother made a product of high merit with this machine. One problem is envelopes...

Great so far!

Strengths: Feature packed with duplexing and wireless connectivity!

Weakness: It is one heavy unit!

So far it has worked very well for us. Setup took a little while because it is so heavy to move, and has 4 toner cartridges (one black, and three color,) to install. Sometimes it seems to take a little while to warm up, but color comes out well and black sharp as I'm used to from my past experience with their products.

Finally a reasonably priced low-noise color laser...

Strengths: * Low-noise laser color * Competitive price * All-in-one functionality * Wired/Wireless network support

Weakness: None

Finally, Brother came up with a reasonably priced printer that combines color laser and all-in-one functionality, a printer that is not as noisy as most other color lasers are today. Fast print output, built-in network support, all-in-one functionality, color laser quality make this printer a highly-desirable upgrade candidate for all those older and much slower printers. It also design to work...

A solid multi-tasker

Strengths: network scanning, duplexing, stellar faxing capabilities, peppy, good output quality

Weakness: emits a strong odor of toner in the air and "page curl" is a pronounced problem with this machine.

I am amazed at the limitlessness of its functions. The only gotcha is "page curl". Using the thickest weight plain paper (28lb.) I have experienced significant page curl. It exceeds that of any laser I have previously used. For most of my heavy printing I have resorted to using my old laser printer just to avoid having all my pages come out bent into an unfixable "U" shape. For light-duty tasks,...

Amazing Machine

Strengths: Duplexes, Great Color Output, Wonderful Resolution

Weakness: Cost of Replacement Parts (this is a problem with all laser printers--not to this specific machine)

This is a wonderful machine. It was a little intimidating at first when it came in an enormous box filled with numerous other boxes. Once I finally peeled away all the layers of the onion, I got a printer that fits nicely under my desk and is not the enormous monstrosity I feared it would be. I bought it for my home office and plan to transition it to my business when I finish school. It operates...

Brother MFC-9840CDW

The Brother MFC-9840CDW is a high end multifunction color laser printer, copier, scanner, and fax machine with wired and wireless network capabilities. It is not cheap especially when compared with the rest of the Brotehr MFC printer series, but its a worth while investment considering its features and quality. Critics noted that setting up this piece was easy, especially the ethernet and usb...
