» VIA THE WEB: Printer Reviews of the Brother HL-2270DW Cartridge News: – Presented by LD Products Inc.
The Brother HL-2270DW is a monochrome laser printer with a reported print speed of 27 pages per minute. the built-in auto-duplexer enables you to save paper by printing on both sides of the page, and you can share the printer with a small workgroup via Ethernet and Wi-Fi. at an MSRP of $149.99, the Brother HL-2270DW seems like a pretty solid value as a black and white document producer in a home office, or in a small office with multiple users. but do the experts agree? a couple online reviews are in, and the reception is very positive.
Redmond Grybauskas of ComputerShopper.com gives the Brother HL-2270DW an impressive 8.1 out of 10. on one hand, he considers the printer to be a little too basic, and Wi-Fi setup can be tricky without the manual. on the other hand, Grybauskas refers to the HL-2270DW as the “alpha male of the recent pack of low-cost mono lasers” for its speed, high quality output, and low cost per page for toner.
Sarah Meyer of PrinterComparison.com gives the Brother HL-2270DW an Editor’s Choice worthy 4.5 stars out of 5. she likes the compact size, fast print speed, and Wi-Fi. In fact, Meyer admits that she wasn’t “able to think of one con off the top of [her] head after testing.” a control panel and display would’ve been nice in hindsight, but the reviewer thinks the printer works just fine despite the missing features.
Finally, Peter Piazza of about.com gives the Brother HL-2270DW an excellent 4.5 stars out of 5. he likes the print speed, auto-duplexer, compact size, and overall value. In addition, unlike Grybauskas, he thinks the Wi-Fi setup is pretty simple. So while the HL-2270DW may lack some of the bells and whistles of its more expensive competitors, it offers all the features you want out of a small office document processor at a great price.
Overall, it’s fair to say that the Brother HL-2270DW churns out high quality black and white documents at an award-winning level. more importantly, MSRP and cost per page for toner are a very good value. So if you work at home or in an office that doesn’t print a lot of pages per month, this printer is highly recommended.
