Summary: Great home office machine
Comment: The size is great and the scanning/printing so far has been very good. We started out wireless and have never looked back. We bought the machine more for the built in phone than the fax capabilities. Based on the functionality and configuration options I think Brother designed it more for the fax than the phone. It works good but there are much fewer options for the answering machine / phone than there are for the fax. The only other bummer is that there is no GUI interface but rather a config program so I cant make adjustments from any PC. I'm a sys admin so these things are likely not as important to others. I really wish the extra phone handset wasn't so over priced or I would have bought it too. Over all very happy with the product and would recommend.

Summary: printer offers multiple features w cordless cord
Comment: I bought the "little" 685CW Brother MFC printer a few months ago. When I decided to open a new office, I bought the "older" brother 885CW because it has a cordless phone, in addition to all the features. It's a wireless color and black printer. It can also scan, fax and copy, too. It's not a "race horse" when it comes to the speed of the printing or copying but the quality is good. The ink cartridges are small, compared to other printers I own, but I found a resource on line that sells the ink at a reduced price (re-filled cartridges), which makes the 885CW printer an even better bargain. I have this printer set-up with 3 wireless computers so several employees can print documents from their offices. Based on the features and the price, it's a good "little" work horse. I have a 1300 sq office area. The wireless printing feature is good. I'm having a bit of a problem with the saving the documents after I've scanned them, via the wireless connection. I suspect it's not the Brother's fault. I suspect we haven't completed installing all of the necessary features for the scanning. I'll admit that I don't always read the handbook but I need to go back to the basics to get the scanning features working. Scanning hasn't been a high priority for our office.

Summary: Love it!
Comment: There are lots of comprehensive reviews on this if you want more detailed particulars, so I just want to say if you are looking for a multifunctional system, this is a great one. Simply put, it is a great price, easy to use, and compact. Perfect for a home study, small business, or college student. We use it at home for our business and are very pleased with it.

Summary: What has happened to quality products!?
Comment: My existing scanner, printer, etc. have worked great for years but now incompatible with Vista (it's such a waste to throw great working items away just do to the fact that it is not as profitable for companies to create new drivers vs. just selling you a new printer .. I would pay good money for a new driver if available ... but i digress)
Ok. So I shop Amazon and read the reviews about the similar Epson model, seems like it has serious issues with using way to much ink and then shuts down your ability to scan and fax if empty (functions that don't even use ink)! No good. Then I look at the similar HP model, only to find out it appears to have issues with paper jamming, software bugs, and so on. The reviews on this Brother model did not seem so bad in comparison - so I took a chance and purchased.
Here is a quick summary of what you will find:
Pro's:
- Stylish, well made.
- Uses a paper tray
- Scanning was good quality and fast
- Printing speed seems ok (but really only as fast as my old printer)
- Automatic document feeder on the top is nice, and works well.
- Separate phone with the ability to listen using machine speaker phone
Con's:
- COLOR PRINT QUALITY IS BAD. When I print the exact same Google map (for example) on my very old HP P1100, the quality is far superior than this brand new one .. the Brother color print outs are 'washed out" and are sometimes hard to read (cleaning, priming, etc. on the printer heads did not change anything). I can only imagine what would happen if I tried to print a photo ... but I wanted to return while I still could. I knew something was strange when I printed a test page and it looked so strange and generic (and also 'washed out')
- When you press the scan button, defaults to "scan and send to email" (only configures goes to outlook which I don't use anyway). If you want to scan to your PC, then you have to navigate through a menu to get there. Then, the next time you scan ... guess what ... back to the default again! Seems like a minor issue, but wait until you need to scan 200 photos or multi page document.
- The handset nor speaker phone has no MUTE button ... a problem if you attend a lot of conference calls like I do.
The only problem is now I have to choose between the best of several 'evils' ... is there not a good printer out there somewhere ... I am willing to to pay even up to $500 now for something that works, but where is it? Also, what has happened to quality products! Seems like they just want to sell low quality printers and then milk you for even more money later via printer cartridges that cost more than the printer itself! Seems like the industry is going backwards. The bad part is that I need SOMETHING and will end up purchasing one of these eventually and that sends the wrong message to these companies that think they can get away with it ...
