    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 18, 2008
    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. ... read more

    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. ... read more

    Pros: middle of the road price tag
    Cons: broke after 3 months; terrible customer service; 1 year warranty is cosmetic and ineffective.

    Summary: Our Intellifax 2820 is 3 months old and began having the "no paper fed" error just last week. I researched the warranty and found a 1 year limited policy in place. I called the 877 number for brother and began the arduous task of troubleshooting the

    Pros: Prints nice
    Cons: JAMS, JAMS, JAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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

    Jan 22, 2009
    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

    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

    Aug 2, 2007
    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,

    Cons: I honestly can't think of a single one

    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

    Pros: laser fax, copier and printer; fast;quality and ease of use are good
    Cons: printer driver not in box, nothing about printing in manual;apparently won't support wireless printing

    Summary: I bought the Brother 2820 after returning a Canon L80 when I discovered the Canon wouldn't support printing from a Mac. The Brother was easier to set up than the Canon, takes a little less space and is faster. So far I have been extremely pleased. Only
