If there are kids in school or contracts and shipping labels to print now and then, the move from inkjet to laser eventually makes itself: leave an inkjet sitting for two months and the heads clog, and the first thing it does on power-up is burn half a cartridge cleaning itself. Laser doesn't care. Leave it for six months and it prints.

This one prints, copies and scans. 30 pages per minute, automatic duplex, 250-sheet tray plus 250-sheet output, flatbed scan glass (not a document feeder), first page out in 8.5 seconds, 1200x1200 dpi. Dual-band Wi-Fi, USB, and the Brother Mobile Connect app. It's 10.1 kg at 39.9 x 41 x 27.2 cm, so it fits a desk corner or the bottom shelf of a bookcase.

Consumables are the part people get wrong. It takes TN830 / TN830XL toner, and third-party cartridges are cheap and plentiful — one reviewer says outright that they skipped Brother's Refresh subscription and run an off-brand TN830. The printer doesn't lock you in, which is more than some brands offer. The drum unit (DR730) is a separate part and a separate decision.

4.5 stars, 322 reviews, #1 in Laser Printers, 800+ bought last month. Feedback clusters in three places: Wi-Fi setup is easier than expected (one reviewer: "I'm not techy at all and it connected in ten minutes"), speed and noise are both fine, and one Linux user notes Brother's driver is 32-bit so scanning on a 64-bit system takes some fiddling — irrelevant on Windows or Mac.

$249.99 is the standing price; $199.98 is a genuine low for this class. At 30 ppm, a home user goes through a cartridge once or twice a year.
