The little Engine that Couldn't.......2007-05-16

I bought this printer for business in the Summer of '05. For the past 2 years, this printer has been great! I use the second tray option every day, and usually print around 20 to 30 pages per day. The printer likes the paper in the secondary tray to be nice and straight. If the pages are curled even a little, the printer folds the paper and sometimes jams. It's not hard to remove the jams though. If the print job runs out of paper, adding more will auto resume the printing process. Nice!
A couple of days ago the printer light turned red indicating that one of the covers was open. Since that was not the case, I went online to see if anyone else had this problem. According to Brother, you have to preform a series of actions to correct the error. I tried several times with no luck. Now I am looking at a giant paper weight with a red light. Being 2 years old, I am surprised that this printer is still better featured than most current printers. The memory, network connectivity, and speed are all benefits that other printers have costing twice as much. This printer also plays nice with Linux machines! It's been nice Brother. Should I get you again?

Great laser printer for a great price.......2004-09-22

I've had this printer for about 10 months & use it all the time. I'm an independent notary signing agent & print mortgage documents with it several times per week. I've had an occasional paper jam, but easily cleared. As for crinkling of envelopes on manual feed, just set the guides a little farther out, so the envelope has room to flow through & no crinkles...I learned that from my office's HP 4 -- same issue there. Easy to correct. Haven't had to replace a drum yet, though I've gone through at least 3 toner cartridges already. Memory is adequate even for 100-pg pdf files.

All in all, I like this printer & I'd buy it again. I compared to HP and Minolta & felt this was the better deal for the price & features. I did purchase the optional lower paper tray, so I don't have to constantly switch everything between letter & legal when printing.

Setting up the printer was cake! Easiest component to set up yet!

Only Cheap.......2004-08-21

I must say I was disappointed about the printer. I bought one from Frys a month ago. Setup was quick and easy. Printed test page, and some word doc OK.
When I tried to print a direction from Yahoo map, it shows horizontal white bars. Try it couple times, it happened randomly.

Called support, waited for over 25 mins. Then I was asked to clean the drum unit. No help. Went to level 2 support. Rep insisted it is the connection problem.

I have to get new parallel cable, and new USB cable. Tried both. No help. It happens randomly, so don't know what it is.

Still waiting for an answer from Brother.

I am not happy with the printer.

Can't beat it for the price!.......2004-07-13

This is a terrific printer. I needed to replace my NEC 1260, which was begining to jam all the time and the cartridges were becoming very hard to find. For less than the price of a new NEC toner cartridge, I bought this printer (another site had a short-term terrific price.)

I could not be more pleased. Easy to set up, superfast printing (my old laser was 12ppm), affordable replacement cartridges, small footprint.

Well done!.......2004-06-28

I work as an independent paralegal, doing research and preparing documents to file with the Courts. I purchased this unit about 6 weeks ago because my inkjet printer was too slow and too expensive for big projects.

Like the other inexpensive Brother laser printers, this one is a very good value, and has features of more expensive printers. It does have some cheap plastic parts, but this is to be expected in this price range. Other inexpensive laser printers look feel cheap in comparison.

On the good side, the printer has the 250 page paper drawer located under the printer, where it belongs. This way, you don't have an unsightly flop [sic] of paper on the desk in front of you. It also has a front door for feeding single sheets so you don't have to open the drawer and replace the paper, reset the paper guides, and so forth, simply to print a single envelope. It also pops printed paper out of the top into a proper paper recepticle, or you can open the door at the back of the printer and let the paper feed straight through.

The printer is fast, at 17 pages per minute, and warms up fairly quickly so you don't have to wait too long for it to start. Print quality is good, and small fonts are legible with no bleeding. The grayscale for graphics is good, with nice even printing and little graininess.

The biggest problem I have with this printer is that the drum and toner cartridge are replaced separately. This is not as much a problem as an annoyance. The printer drum has to be changed every 20,000 copies or so, and costs almost as much as the printer itself. The toner is inexpensive relative to other printers, but the drum is around $100. Despite having this unusual expense every four or five toner cartridges, the per page cost is still only about 1.5 cents per copy. This is comparable to other laser printers, and is significantly cheaper than inkjet printers. In comparison to inkjet printers, this laser will pay for itself in the first 5,000 to 10,000 copies.

For a home or small office, this printer gives a lot of bang for the buck. Given the high quality of the black and white print, the low per page cost, and the speed, this printer is a steal.

Customer Reviews:

Pretty Good Overall.........2006-07-07

This is one of the best cd players out there, besides the Sony Discman. The bass is good, and the sound quality is basically mediocre.I didnt like the original headphones that came with this, so I use a older pair of the same pair I bought at Hudsons Treasure hUnt lol! It plays all cds, even burned ones so you wont have any problems with that feature. Sometimes I wish It would get louder even though I have some really good headphones. And the battery life lasts me weeks I dont know what everyone else is talking about.

The best of the many i bought.......2005-10-01

I got this at Target they have a good return policy and it works well. Actually this is the second time i got it. I tried RCA which sucked then i tried this one which was good, the only compaint is the battery life is not so hot so i took that one back then i got a cheap 10.00 one which skip like crazy and i took that one back. Then i bought a sony twice this one was clearence and it started to not to play my cds after 4 months of having it and spined like crazy when you shut it off so i was stuck with that one. Stupid me i got another sony and that one did this annoying cracking sound (within a week or purchase) which scratched my cds. So after this i was fed up and i re got this philips one. So what about the crappy batery life batteries are very cheap i stock up on them when they are like 75 cents for a four pack. The only other compaint i have about this is that sometimes it does not play the cd on the first time you have to open the player up and close it and push play again but then it works. Also this a good cd player when it comes to not skipping, i play it while i walk to work and have no complaints.

5.4/10.0.......2005-07-12

The Good: Decent sound quality, the resume feature (remembers where you were on a disc even after you've shut if off), very good skip protection.

The Bad: Not quite worth the price, not exactly Jogproof. Battery time will only get you through a week and a half if you listen to CDs as often as me. Sparsity of features. You can get a much better CD player with a comparable price.

The Bottom Line: For a little lower price, you're better off with the SONY D-EJ360 CD Walkman(R) Portable CD Player, with longer lasting battery time, and a few more features (as far as cd players go, Sony almost always makes a superior product).

In one week of average music-listening, I'd say I use this player about 9 hours. It won't last much more than that; maybe 12 hours, no matter what kind of batteries you use. This makes the Philips Jogproof an awful choice for long trips.
Additionally, I don't know why Philips entitles their product Jogproof. If you're silly enough to clunk around a big cd player like this in your pocket, you're probably not much of a jogger. Additionally, Philips has all its controls on the top of the player, so buttons will probably accidentally get pressed mid-jog.
The Jogproof Philips has three features, besides the standard on any player. There's DBB for Bass Boosting, which I have only used about twice. There's a few modes, including Repeat All (repeats each song once, before going to the next song), SCAN, similiar to the radio scan feature that comes in most car radios, shuffle, and repeat, which plays the song you're on over and over. The third button, program, is practically a joke, since all it does is programs what kind of mode you want for the disc in the player.
Overall, I do not recommend this player.

Horrible waste of money.......2004-11-28

The claim is that the batteries can last up to 70 hours - I only listen to an hour or two of music on it a day, and I end up changing the batteries about every week. When you want to pause the song and skip forward or backward into it, you would think you would have control over where it goes, right? Nope, it will automatically shuffle to a random point on that track or it'll just skip forward to the next track. I dropped it once but it was only from 2 feet onto a carpet, parts broke off that I had to put back together.

Don't buy this, please. I'm sorry that I did.
