Pros: low initial cost
Cons: Toner and drum units that don't come close to advertised service life=high lifetime cost
Summary: I thought I was getting a deal on my Brother HL-1240 printer. The drum (DR-400) is listed as having a service life of 8000 pages. I got about 1500. And I have found several other reviews that indicate that I am not alone in having such a reduced service
