  • FAX Machines - Yes, They Still Exist. Save Postage? Mebbe. Phone Bill? Up!

    Aug 02 '08
    Pros: Faxes fast
    Cons: Breaks easily

    Summary: I bought this fax machine from Staples, and I bought the protection plan for $30. The machine worked great for 6 six months, then it just stopped working. So I hauled it back to Staples, they replaced it I paid another $30 for a new protection plan and ...

  • Better printing than the Brother 5250DN

    Jul 18 '08
    Pros: Sharp text at lowest settings, no curling, easy setup, connects to pc, junk faxes less.
    Cons: Paper jams occur when humidity is high.

    Summary: The Brother Intellifax 2820 was bought to replace a Sharp fax that suddenly stopped feeding the paper. After looking online at various non-laser faxes which either received poor ratings or good ratings but had small ink cartridges, I decided that a ...

  • YOU NEED TO READ THIS ONE BEFORE BUYING AN INTELLIFAX 2820!

    Jan 18 '08
    Pros: None -
    Cons: Printed paper gets wadded up in narrow area where it's supposed to come out

    Summary: I and my partners over the years have bought and used Brother fax machines in our offices. When my Intellifax 2800 finally wore out (nice machine - I had two), I went to Staples to find that the 2800 is no longer made but that there is now the 2820. ...

  • Another Good Brother

    Oct 25 '05
    Pros: A full featured fax/copier in a small footprint. Reliable Brother quality with accessible support.
    Cons: None so far

    Summary: Over 3 years ago I bought a Brother FAX 560 for light faxing duties (25 to 50 a month) in my home office. This was a very adequate fax machine and copier. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of jams that occured over the 3 year period. ...

  • WOULD NOT BUY ANOTHER

    Jun 15 '10
    Pros: Prints nice
    Cons: JAMS, JAMS, JAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Summary: Purchased six (6) units to be used in our pharmacies. Worked great for 3 months or so, then they all started jamming, and i mean 5 out of 6 times jamming. Took them all into our local Brothers service center to be cleaned and fixed. The tech said the

  • 8.8 Ampers ??!?!?!??!! -- Unacceptable !

    Jun 06 '10
    Pros: Don't ask me, I tried it for less than an hour....
    Cons: ....8.8 Ampers? Forgetaboutit

    Summary: I don't know how good or bad this product is.... All I know is that from hour one, when a test-fax arrived, or I tried making a copy, and tried again -- my circuit breaker kept tripping! I checked this machine's label --- and was totally SHOCKED

  • Jams Like Crazy!

    Jan 22 '09
    Pros: Toner Life (using toner save mode) & functionality of unit
    Cons: Like other people said this thing JAMS like crazy & wastes paper and toner.

    Summary: Nice affordable well rounded machine. My toner cartridge is at 5K pages and only 50% used up. The jamming situation is bad because I tend to reprint many documents or I open up the back to have to pull the documents out. Technical support is

  • two in a row jammed the paper

    Aug 13 '08
    Pros: The history of these machines is good in general
    Cons: I think the quality has declined or there are some lemons out there!

    Summary: After using a Brother 2800 at our office for years with no problems, then a 2820 for almost 2 years, I purchased another 2820 for home several months ago--still no problems, but it is used much less than the office fax. Recently a terrible grinding noise

  • A "Ok" Fax machine

    Aug 02 '07
    Pros: Fairly fast and easy to use as long as the fax goes the first time.
    Cons: Inability to set the redials and interval really sucks. Too many bugs in the system.

    Summary: Overall this machine is a let down. We own two of these machines and they both have had problems. One of which we had to send for repairs. But, overall it the little things that make this a poor choice. First off you cannot set the number of redials,

  • Fantastic machine

    Feb 18 '07
    Pros: Easy set up, small footprint, great print quality, great price.
    Cons: I honestly can't think of a single one

    Summary: I work as a consultant from home, and had until recently been resisting getting a fax machine -- frankly for no good reason other than that it seemed like there were an overwhelming number of choices. I had also been going downstairs to use my husband's

  • Brother IntelliFax-2820 will print from airport wireless network

    Sep 23 '06
    Pros: Fast, high quality printing. Cheap.
    Cons: None

    Summary: Just wanted to say you can now print from a wireless network with this printer. A review from last year said you couldn't but with new driver you can. This seems to be a awesome printer/fax for the money. Costco has them now for $179-$30 rebate as

  • Can't recommend this fax printer

    Jul 19 '06
    Pros: cheap for laser printing; has Mac interface
    Cons: machine totally shuts down when "toner empty" sensor activates

    Summary: I purchased this a 6 months ago for light duty fax work, and it has worked reasonably well: out of 1000 pages printed there were only 4 paper jams. However, yesterday it notified me that my toner was empty and I needed replacement cartridge (which I
