More Brother reviews , RRP: AU$499.00

The good:

  • Small footprint for a multifunction unit
  • Accurate character recognition
  • Fast text printing
  • Low cost per page
  • Decent quality black and white scans

The bad:

  • Poor quality graphics prints
  • Unattractive design
  • Cramped paper output tray
  • Slow scanning speed
  • Less than average amount of internal memory

The bottomline:

The Brother MFC-7440N prints quickly and is fairly inexpensive to sustain, but we simply can't get behind a printer with poor quality graphics, significant hardware defects, and a boring design.

6.5/10
