Brother MFC-5440CN

Pros: Great high capacity sheet feed scanner, Large cheap ink tanks, Networkable

Cons: High quality photo printing quite slow

The Bottom Line: Cheap to buy and run, reliable, and a superb sheet feed scanner. I'd recommend this to anyone any day.

Review: I have had this for about 6 months now, with no problems, and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. The particular strength of this model against others in the same price range is the sheet feed scanner. It's reliable, has a high capacity, and ...

Pros: Auto document scanner. Paper tray inside machine. Ink Refillers dream. Fairly good photo printing.

Cons: Auto doc paper jams. Doesn't clean the head as often as 210.

The Bottom Line: Basically if you know how to refill a simple plastic container. Have a useful tiny drill they give refillers. This machine is for you. Not for b/w users.

Review: (update 9-23-05) Printhead went bad. It likely happened though because of a bad black cartridge from 123inkjets.com which leaked. Which was a first coming from them. Usually have luck with them. At least the person on the phone wasn;t East Indian. ...

Pros: Good quality prints,inexpensive cartridges and great customer service .

Cons: None to this point

The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this multifunction center to any one who is looking for quality at a low price

Review: I have been using brother multifunction centers for several years . I have found them to be inexpensive , reliable and to have excellent over the phone customer service . Their staff will guide you through any setup or technical problems that you may ...

Pros: Does everything it perfectly.

Cons: Not for photo printing ; slow.

Review: I really love this one. I've gone thru several multifunction printers and this one is my favorite. The model may not as attractive as other brands (HP, Dell etc) but it's built and felt more solid than others. Print quality is excellent but it's not ...

Pros: Paper feeder and a flat scanner too ease of use

Cons: umm I am thinking .. ohh yeah it a little on the slow side

Review: I love this all in one, and I have had my share! I have burned through Lex*(s) HP(s) Xerox and this one is by far the best! It is a little slower then the others but I would rather it print slow and right then fast and problematic! Some small software ...

Pros: Cheap to buy and maintain. Reliable. Large-capacity document feeder.

Cons: Photo prints slow, with inaccurate colors and bronzing on glossy paper. Ink dries slowly.

The Bottom Line: Good scanner, so-so printer. Excellent document feeder. Relatively cheap ink, but it smudges easily. Avoid using it for photos.

Review: I bought this product when I was looking for a scanner-copier-printer that also had a document feeder. I wanted the feeder in order to scan stacks of pages automatically. Unfortunately, Canon, Epson, and HP don't put document feeders on their cheaper ...

Pros: Price, networking, document feeder,

Cons: Price of Ink, shuts down completely if out of ink.

The Bottom Line: Recommended. Good machine at a good price. But be aware of price of consumables.

Review: I've had this machine for about 6 months now, and I have mixed feelings about it. The scanner is decent, I like the document feeder very much. I don't use the fax part ever, but it's part of the box, not much I can do about that. As a copier it works ...

Pros: Good copy, scan and print functions with excellent support for a full year.

Cons: Ink is not the cheapest in the world.

The Bottom Line: Good printer/scanner/copier with outstanding support from Brother that lasts for a full year.

Review: I bought the MFC-5440cn in March of 2006 and have had good results with it, despite heavy use at home with the kids. Several months after I got it (maybe six?) we had a power outage and the printer would not print from one of the computers. We have a ...

Pros: Very good multifunctional and network printer at a very good price

Cons: Far too frequent cleaning wastes ink. Whole printer stops if just one cartridge half empty.

The Bottom Line: Good value for money, but use the trick to be able to fully use the ink cartidriges and save on ink.

Review: Very good printer, very happy with it BUT it has a BIG problem with ink cartridges. In theory it should be economical in ink because the Brother 5440 CN has 4 cartridge, black, cyan, magenta and yellow. The problem is that brother was very ...

Pros: Auto Document Feeder is nice, print quality is good, plus network capability and overall price.

Cons: Replacement ink didn't reset low ink message. Outgoing faxes don't always synchronize. No power switch.

Review: I was worried the ink cartridges would go down too quickly, but the black finally ran out after 7 months (I don't print a whole lot). I also found some good replacement cartridges for cheap--meritline.com had 5 cartridges (2x black 1x CYN) for a total ...
