I'd buy this printer again in a heartbeat!!!!.......2007-06-04

I was a HP fan previously. Had been many years since I owned a Brother printer. Price was what made me take the chance. I'm extremely happy with my decision. This machine does everything I need it to do, and more. I am a loan signing agent, so I print loan documents....and lots of them! Yes, the other people's comments about popping sounds is true, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest and my printer is right next to my desk. Performance is excellent! I've added a second paper tray, and the printer flawlessly selects from the correct tray according to pcl language, to print from the legal paper tray or the letter paper tray. I can shrink or enlarge copies, fax, scan... it's simply a great asset to my small home business. Great value for the buck, which is important to me.

Product delivered and performs as advertised.......2007-05-30

It isn't that often that a product does everything the ads say it will. The Brother MFC-8860 met the hype. The main appeal to me was duplex copying, scanning, faxing and printing.
Initial receipt - It came in five days and only took a few minutes to get up and running. I lost only a few minutes getting the fax working. In that it was on a shared voice line, the manual prompted me to insert five seconds at the beginning of my greeting to allow time for the system to hear the fax tone.
After receipt I saw it was the top rated "All in One" in the April PC Magazine.
The only questions unanswered are durability and service (should I need it - nothing so far)..that will come with time. So far it appears excellent.

Excellent multifunction printer/copier/scan/fax machine........2007-05-14

We purchased Brother's MFC-8860DN about a month+ ago. Our office staff has been using it mostly for copying and printing. The duplex print feature (which we use a lot) works flawlessly. While shopping for this machine we had read negative reviews specific to it's single page (manual feed) function - for envelopes and label printing. We were pleased to find that the manual feed for label/envelope printing worked flawlessly -the negative reviews were inaccurate. This is an excellent product and the price is very reasonable.

Brother MFC.......2007-05-13

We like this printer. Fast, reliable, fine output. Others' comments about noise is accurate. Sometimes sounds a little like an old washing machine when it warms up, but it's never so loud to distract. We just kid about it sometimes. Would buy another.

Good if you have a PC, not for Mac user........2007-05-13

The product itself function very well according to its specification. It also setup pretty easy if you have a PC. However, it came with a quite old software for Mac user. I do have a Mac (latest OS X version) and struggle to use this product with it. I did call Brother tech support and they said they have no new software release for Mac user.
