Hi guys just noticed that the brother MFC-L2703DW is on clearance at Officeworks for $160 i think the old price was $229 from memory, i've seen the L2700DW which is essentially the same printer a little bit cheaper from time to time through Ebay but if you needed a printer at the moment this doesn't seem like a bad option. I don't believe you can order it online but most stores at lest in the Sydney area have them in stock.
Gotta agree with DrDuck. I've had the same model since sept 2015 and it's still going strong. Wifi printing/scanning is also a bonus. You can get cheap refills (something like $10/toner) on ebay.
I bought 2 :D
I've bought a bunch of these for our remote workers.
Cheap,reliable, dirty cheap consumables.
Might get one myself.
EDIT:
Plenty of stock in WA - I just ordered one
Wish it was colour.
Yeah, but have you seen how expensive colour toner is? Cheaper to get this and then colour print at Officeworks when you need to do it
True, but my nearest office works is 20 kms away.
Looking at scanning old photos in the future…would this be a good option or a better scanner?
Scan quality is unimpressive on my L2740DW, which I believe is basically this model with a touchscreen. Compared to previous multifuctions I've owned, there's a distinct softness to the scans even with high DPI and lossless file formats.
I definitely recommend a dedicated scanner for photos if quality & speed is important.
Looks good whats the average print capacity of toner? 500-1000 pages?
and cost of refill toner?
Approximately $10 per high-yield cartridge when bought in a 3-pack off ebay. Each cartridge will give you about 2600 pages.
thanks.
Any seller you recommend, sound too good to be true!!
Sweet! Someone at work was just asking me to recommend a good-quality mono laser last week. I'll point her to this one. Thanks OP!
The older model has been a brilliant printer at home for 2-10 prints a week. jinx
My mfc-8860DN is still going strong after about 10 years, however the scan to pc funcion no longer works across the network since windows 7 or 8. Although the old one is great and scans duplex too. At this price it's tempting!
Got one
Went to Officeworks Kogarah to pick one up and only display left. Pretty much a new one but without the Toner / box and fax cable.
Made offer of $100 + New toner. Accepted
I've had a MFC-L2703DW since June 2016 and have been very happy with it. Toner is cheap, it prints double sided, and it scans well. I paid $100 delivered for a refurbished model from Warehouse 1.
