  Duration of ownership: 8 Months

  Strengths: Speed

  Weaknesses:Spots on page

  Overall Evaluation: About a month ago spots along the right edge of the paper started showing up. I thought it might be the toner cartridge. However, I just replaced it and it didn't solve the problem. Other than the spots (ugh), it's an efficient printer.

  Strengths: Seems strongly built.

  Weaknesses:Out-of-toner scam, jams often for no reason, stops printing for no reason very often.

  Overall Evaluation: BROTHER printers are TONER SCAM and a are waste of time. The Youtube video about the BROTHER toner scam worked like a charm! All I did was taped the sensors with sticky tape and it works again (when it works)! No more CLEAN CORONA WIRE... error and no more TONER light. Lots of toner left in the cartridge, all you do is tape the sensors on both sides and I was able to print another 1712 pages (with many red lights in between for no reason) with it until the toner ran out! This is my last B(R)OTHER ever.

  Strengths: speed

  Weaknesses:width of unit could be smaller

  Overall Evaluation: This is a nice home printing unit. I especially appreciate the fact that it has three printing resolution selections under the toner saving mode. It makes the toner last alot longer.

  Strengths: Beautiful-Looking Machine, Easy To Use, Durable construction, Compact Design, Sharp detail, Reliable, Fast Print Time, Low toner consumption, Economical, Easy Setup

  Weaknesses:None at all

  Overall Evaluation: The HL-2140 is intended for light-duty use, personal or home office. It is not intended for use in large offices, where hundreds of pages are printed everyday. This printer is a laser printer that uses toner (graphite-colored powder) that is burned into the paper; it is not made to do photos, especially on photo papers. This Brother printer prints extremely fast and is relatively quiet. You can control many of your user preferences from the printer's preferences. The print qualities at 600 dpi and 1200 dpi is simply outstanding. Read the directions. Also, download the newest drivers from the Brother website. To get every bit of toner powder out of the cartridge, first remove the toner unit from the drum assembly. Second, find the little circular window on the right-side of the toner cartridge. Third, place a piece of black electrical tape over the clear window, cannot be clear tape. Fourth, re-install the toner cartridge into the drum assembly. Last, put the complete unit back into your printer. This is a great little printer.

  Strengths: printer quality

  Weaknesses:software

  Overall Evaluation: It was everything perfect with the printer until today. I was printing and the quality of the prints where excellent but then the PC showed me a message: "toner life end" it was not possible that such a thing happend the print outs are perfect. It seems they want me to Buy a new toner when mine still have life.... cheap at the beginning but they at brother will take your money later.
