I wanted a sturdy machine that uses ink affordably, feeds paper accurately and reliably, and not too slow. I didn't need color. This machine fit the bill.I haven't owned it long, so I don't know about reliability. Paper handling is excellent. Printing is fast and looks very good -- dark and precise. Ink costs will be much lower than an inkjet. It seems carefully designed and more solidly made than most inkjets. It's Macintosh-friendly (I guess Brother makes a point of being friendly to Macintosh and Linux.) Scanning, faxing, printing all work seamlessly with OS X.It's got a flatbed scanner for irregular originals, and a sheet feeder for scanning, faxing or copying multiple pages. The sheet feeder seems to work very well. This is really an incredible deal, considering the low price. This is a perfect machine for the user who has office work in mind, more than printing photos and other "home user" needs.Follow-up, six months later: This machine has worked better than I could have hoped. Paper feed is very reliable, print quality is excellent, the fax function is quite reliable, and the cost of ink per page is remarkably cheap. I haven't experience a single problem with it.Another follow-up. Now, it's October of 2011. I've replaced the drum twice -- affordable, and the toner cartridge many times -- cheap compared to ink for ink-jets. It still works reliably, and just as well as ever.

By Han38some
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 printer. you are all set.1. This is a laser MFC - scan(color), copy, fax, print2. very fast for home/small office use3. very compact - very space saving4. Network ready - other computers on network can use all functions of this.5. unlimited tech support. not just 1-year like HP/canon.6. Machine feels sold & feels it will last long7. All fax,copy, scan can be operated either from machine buttons or pc software interface.8. installation was breeze9. software is top notch. very intuitive10. tested print, copy, scan & fax - AWESOME AWESOME.11. they don't outsource cust support to india12. only regrets: no duplex, no separate output tray, but from a compact machine like this, you can't expect output tray.13. This MFC is clearly the winner. nothing else.14. $50 cartride takes you upto 2,500 pages. not bad15. Auto feeder works flawlessly16. buy from local office depot store when they give $40 gift card with it.17. you can connect any answering machine, so all you need is one line for phone callss & fax. this machine shows whether it is a phone call or fax. can use distinctive ring too.18. backlit LCD menu19. if you network with this printer, you don't need to buy USB cable20. 32mb memory for printing, huge memory for fax.21. super fast fax speed22. Excellent looks.23. DEDICATED MAC SUPPORT, although i only used it for Windows.why didn't i know about Brother earlier ?

By Christopher Altermatt
My wife and I love this machine. I have had it for over six months and have had no problem with it. I had to replace the original toner cartridge after only six months of use, but they always give you less toner in the "starter" cartridge than in the replacements. It prints faster than the old dedicated laser printer I had and the copier, scanner, fax functions work flawlessly. I also found it relatively easy to set-up with an external answering machine so that I can always have the fax function standing by on the same line as my home phone. Unlike others, I had no trouble with the included software.
