  Strengths: GREAT price from Staples: FAST all in one machine, USB 2.0, clean lcd/button display

  Weaknesses: none so far

  Overall: Good machine, easy use. high price. The MFC-8440 is an excellent all-in-one printer/fax/copier/scanner. The size is big, but no bigger than is necessary to have an 8.5"x11" flatbed scanning area

  Strengths: Fast, sturdy and quite.

  Weaknesses: none

  Overall: This is a great business machine for daily use. It helps to print out rebate forms and make copies of barcodes easily. Now I can mail the rebate form in a shorter time. The copy speed is amazing, much fast than my old officejet inkjet printer. Just place the document and hit the button, you get the copy in 8 seconds! Big LCD screen, it feels very comfortable.

  Strengths: Fast Scanning thru ADF, quick time from scan-click to scan complete, fast printing at good quality. Separate toner and drum for decreased re-useable costs (unlike all hp machines)

  Weaknesses: Slow on keypad input (type in a fax number too fast and it will sometimes miss numbers), navigating menus has a delay between button press and movement in menu. Takes up a bit of space on the desktop

  Overall: This is a good all-in-one machine. The front was improved over the 8440 model. Previously, the manual feed tray was poor (only about 3" of tray to support the paper on the 8440). Now, it's a 3-part fold out that support the paper well. The front panel to change the toner opens smoother as well on this model. The size is big, but no bigger than is necessary to have an 8.5"x11" flatbed scanning area (not including a dedicated 1" scanning area for the ADF).Attaching the ADF paper support tray is a little tricky (always worried that the tabs that hold it in place aren't going to break off - but haven't had one break yet).Software support is good with the brother. Able to setup WIA or Twain scanning for acquiring pictures. 3 modes in twain that is saved thru scan sessions. Choose picture, web, or Black and white scans, set dpi, paper size, and a couple other options with each mode. Probably 2-4 second scans on b+w 200dpi thru the adf feeder. Comes with software to modify all machine settings thru software (nice for setting up speed dials etc). Paperport 9 SE for document management.Great all-in-one solution for a small office.
