The good:

  • Compact design
  • PictBridge port and memory card reader
  • PictBridge port supports USB flash drives
  • 3.3-inch widescreen LCD
  • Onboard handset and answering machine
  • Secure mode lets you receive faxes in password-protected memory

The bad:

  • Average to slow task speeds
  • Print quality needs a lot of improvement
  • Refilling paper cassette and engaging photo tray require you to fully detach the cassette

The bottomline:

The Brother MFC-685CW inkjet multifunction printer offers tons of great features at the expense of print speed and quality. If speed and quality are your priorities, look elsewhere.
