Rated 5 out of 5 by from New design is a failure Good overall printer, this new model using photo paper is a pain! You have to take the paper out and put several photo sheets in to work - using one photo sheet jams the printer - no matter what size.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Printer cable solves WiFi print issue with Windows Three separate attempts with Brother support over the phone were not able to fix inability to print from desktop even thought the printer was connected to WiFi . Had to buy a printer cable and problem solved. Probably spent 2 hours with technicians who did their best but seemed to be following a logarithm for problem solving. Office Depot floor person said this would solve the connection issue and it did.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good when it works. Good, when it's findable on my home network. Unfortunately, most of the time the only way I can print is through the Brother mobile app, which is not ideal. Tried everything from reboots, unplug/replug, remove it from the network/re-add it to the network, but nope - most of the time it shows up as offline/error. It's fast though, when it works.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Decide What Is Important I needed a color printer quickly and did not have time to travel to a location with a larger selection or wait to order online and wait for delivery. Of my immediate options I chose this model for the reputation of the Brother, previous experience and the price. While it met my urgent immediate needs there are some unfortunate features or items that are not up to my Brother expectations. First, the color printing is not as vibrant as I remember. This would be the case whether you are printing on paper or photo paper. The ink is more muted and flat and it printing an image of a person or say an animal, the result is not sharp. Secondly, I find the screen to enter your printer selections on the flat front of the machine to not be user friendly. If your printer is on a printer stand, you must be sitting down and directly in front of the machine it be able to properly press the selection you need. It would have made more sense to that this screen on the top of the machine and be positioned over the screen and looking down at it. I was told by the salesman that printers today are made to last only a few years (depending on use), be disposable and non-repairable since it is cheaper to purchase a new one rather than repair one. Hence, the quality of printers today are not what they were at one time. I have a working laser printer but I wanted to have a color printer as an option for other printing needs. I'm glad the Brother is not a printer that at this time I will be using daily as it would be a daily reminder that it is not what I would consider a great choice. And for the record, the salesman was not aware that Brother had an auto ink refill service. I was not interested in that as my laser printer also has one thru HP and I am not a huge fan. You pay a monthly fee depending on how much you use your printer. While my fee is nominal, I have a brand new cartridge that I have had over a year in the box and when I decided to terminate my monthly agreement, HP actually shut down my printer electronically and I was instructed to return the unused cartridges. I can only "assume" that once I returned the cartridges, my printer would be "released" to my use again. Talk about being held "hostage". I am not a candidate for auto fill services and while I keep getting reminders to sign up for Brother's service, it is a firm NO.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Reasonably priced and high quality The MFC-J1170DW is a space-saving, economical printer that is compatible with my Linux powered computers and my Windows machine. Ink is more reasonably priced than my former printer that I ditched because of the high cost of it's cartridges. Printing and scanning quality is excellent. It would be perfect if the paper tray had a larger sheet capacity.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Copies are real clear. Prints on both side which i I have never had a problem with this printer. It does both sides of my papers beautifully. I am impressed. Faxes have always gone through. My only isseu at the moment is the paper stop on the paper tray that stops copies from going on floor broke. I do feel it broke way to easy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Customer Service Failed Us. We owned and used the MFC-J1170DW for less than two months. During that time there were no problems printing or copying. Suddenly last week the printer started spitting out blank pages. Unfazed we did several rounds of print head cleanings. This did not fix the problem. Purchased new ink, Now the printer didn’t even recognize the new ink. Unplugged the printer for 15 minutes to try a full reset. This did not fix the problem. Two long calls to Customer Service did not fix the problem. They blamed the problem on the ink (brand new, name brand). We have a defective printer, We do not want a new printer (under warranty) after this bad experience. We would settle for our $144 back. Frustrated, and completely running out of patience, we told Customer Service we were going to trash the printer and buy another brand. That shopping process starts now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pleasant Surprise I wasn't totally convinced to change brands, but I gave Brother a whirl and was pleasantly surprised at how good this little machine was. The MFC0J170DW (not a snappy name) has behaved very well. I like how easy it is to load paper and envelopes and change out ink cartridges. The print quality is excellent, and I really appreciate two-sided printing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Never cheapest but always the best! I've used Brother printers consistently since starting my small business in 2009. Recently, I tried to go with a cheaper alternative because it was on sale and the Brother MFC-J885DW I had bought in 2016/2017 had started making strange noises when printing on the back. I got 2 uses out of the popular other brand and went back to my trusty old noise making Brother while my new Brother came in. Never again. Brother equals quality and value.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Printer MFC-J1170DW Have had it for a couple of months replacing a Brother printer I have had for several years because the printer heads wore out. I like the smaller footprint and up to now, I have only used it at a printer and copier. After having other printer brands ( Epson, HP, Lexmark), one feature that sold me on Brother printers is that they warn you of low ink levels, but unlike the other brands mention, the level is actually low,. The other brands warn of low ink, yet there is a half cartridge or more of ink left. It is easy to use and the LCD screen is intuitive.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good deal Print quality is good overall. Sometimes it can be a little glitchy when printing via Wi-Fi if you haven't used the printer for a week or longer which is usually the case for me. When this occurs I simply run through the Wi-Fi connection steps to establish the connection. I definitely recommend this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Printer, but beware of the Ink cartridges! I like the printer. It was easy to setup and initialize. No problems so far. Only one complaint - the Ink. Encountered my first ink cartridge to run out of ink (black). NO WARNING that it was getting low on ink. Did not have a spare. The unfortunate thing, the printer will NOT operate without an ink cartridge. Tried printing the document in blue/red ink - no go. The printer is setting there dead in the water, because there are no Black Ink cartridges to be found (Tried Brother, Amazon, Best Buy, Staples, and etc.). To me, this is a poor design and if I had known this before my purchase, I would have have purchased another brand printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great little printer with all the features This is a great printer. It was easy to setup and the printout is excellent. I did not buy it for the scanner but I love the printer calibration. Print up a test page drop it on the scanner and bingo the printer is calibrated. Excellent job Brother. I bought this as a 3rd printer in my home. I needed one on the main floor of the house because climbing stairs has become difficult. I own 2 Brother laser printers one of them is a high end office machine the 9840CDW. I always bought Brother printers because they are perfection. This new one is no exception. The Wi-Fi setup was a breeze. For this price it’s a bargain. I signed up for the automatic ink replenishment because it was inexpensive and this is not my main printer so I only print about 40 pages a month with it. The big jobs I save for the 9840. Also this printer is very fast much faster than the laser printers because there is no warmup. So don’t bother with Hp and go with Brother. I was never happy with my HP printer so years ago I switched and never looked back. No disappointments here.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just ok, when it actually works! I bought this printer when our old HP died, and it has accomplished basic one-sided scanning and printing for a few months. I have never been able to get it to scan in duplex (2-sided), nor print on both sides either. In fact, the initial yellow ink just ran out after about 20-30 pages, and although the black is still at 50% and the cyan and magenta are still at 25%, the printer and Windows simply refuse to print ANYTHING at all. Not even a black and white single page letter in “eco” mode!! If you like printing rather than not being able to until you run the the store to buy more ink, do NOT select a Bother printer!! You have been warned.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great quality, easy to setup on Mac desktop Great quality , easy to on my older Mac desktop, good price. Print & scan quality is very good & quick. Love the auto 2sided print function which our older printer / scanner didn't have. One concern is that when copying the quality is set at Best, cannot switch it to normal. Best is not at all necessary & uses extra (expensive) ink. So I have to scan the document, save to a pdf , then print the pdf which can have adjusted quality. The plastic door / cover clips for the print cartridges seems easy to break. The output tray could be larger since the paper falls on the floor. I usually print only a few pages at a time so it not a real problem but inconvenient. Overall , it serves our household needs well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Scanner & Printer! This is a great All-In-One printer. I brought it primarily for the scanner, and even with that logic, I made a good choice. The self-feed scanner is a breeze to use, and it’s very easy to scan a stack of documents and have them go straight to my Mac instantly via my home Wi-Fi. Then, the icing on the cake is that this is also a really good inkjet printer. I have been using Brother Laser printers for many years, and found them to be amazingly reliable. I expect this one to be the same. It’s very versatile and every feature works well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointed Printer is fast and efficient. I use it primarily for envelopes. I am disappointed with the quality of prints for photos compared to Epson. This is probably because it only has 4 toner carts and not 5 with a photo black as does Epson. No complaints otherwise.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great printer but terrible to recycle It is a great little printer! I gave it only 4 Stars because it seems to use more ink than I expected. Also, in order to recycle the cartridges, it’s not as easy as HPink to return. Brother needs to supply the return packets with their ink. Mine may end up in the trash due to this issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than HP printers anytime! My printer died and I always bought HP Printers for my home office for years. Never again!!!! I always had poor customer service with HP for years and the setup for HP printers was always problematic due to the poor customer service. I did a deep dive on the internet for best printers to see what else was out there and found this Brothers printer that was a little more expensive but offered better features and great reviews! The poor reviews I read on HP printers were consistent as to 2 aspects: poor customer service and being forced to sign up for future ink refills automatically sent to your home and not being able to remove this from the order. My Brothers printer was easy to set up in half the time it took for the HP Printer. I have already performed an update to this printer easily, no need for customer service. The quality is much better than HP and assimilated with my laptop quickly. It is worth the small amount more for this printer. It prints from my phone or laptop with ease. I am never going back to HP!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Prints great but loses network The output of this printer is great and it is fast. The printer continually "forgets" the network and I have to reinstall. It does not wake from sleep mode and usually shuts off. This could be great but not maintaining the network is a deal breaker. I wish I could return it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brother mfc-j1170dw printer amazing! I am absolutely in love with this brother printer it connects straight to your internet wireless and it has tons of options for printing and scanning and faxing it literally does everything plus some. You can use your phone to see ink levels and all the options for this printer right from your phone all you do is download the app and your set to go. Also you can print things straight from your phone you don't need to use a computer if you don't want to. I think this printer is literally the best one I've ever owned and I'm super happy with all the things it does I feel like this is a all in one and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great reliable printer.

It's double sided print capable, which I absolutely love! Ink seems to be lasting still almost full. Printed about 80 sheets in 2 weeks. You can use the Brother mobile connect app and be able to print from your phone. The screen on printer is also touch screen and does it all. It prints quick, dries fast and you can also buy ink cartridges online to replace. It's definitely a good, worth it printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loving this printer! I really am excited using this printer! The printer has a easy startup guide and if you have ever used a printer before you can have it up and running in less than 10 minutes. I like that the printer is not to big where it takes up alot of room and I like the display picture on the front and is nice and clear. The big thing I like it has double sided printing!! That alone saves so much time! I really like that you can link your phone so you can get stuff printed while you are on the go. Using this printer really saves me alot if time and the print is clear and looks great! I use printers for coupons and those have to be really clear or it won't work at the register and so far has worked great! I also used it to make flyers for a group I am in and the pictures and wording looked great! This printer also is so much faster at printing than my old printer. I am very pleased. I also think that while it is printing it is not loud which is great to! After using this printer I just wish I would have had it before now!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brothers Printer, multi-functional capabilities The Brothers printer is a great all around printer for both basic printing and copying needs and more advanced features for work including copying and scanning. The features on this printer model are perfect for work and school. It is nice sized, yet compact and great for small spaces. The capabilities range from holding 150 pages, wireless printing capabilities and document scanning. You can scan to and print from Dropbox, Google Drive, and One Drive directly from the printer. The 2.7 screen is a color touch screen. The printer comes with one set of ink and each ink cartridge last for about 200 prints. The replacement ink is pretty fairly priced. This is a good printer for at home workers and even college kids.

I was amazed and grateful..as I watched other people having issues with, or having to replace their printers. I wouldn't have needed another printer at all, except my operating system was upgraded. So, the MFC was no longer compatible with my MAC. My first choice was to buy another Brother. I shopped around for this one. And, it is another great Brother printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than the More Expensive Model Being Replace I replaced a MFC-J4510DW That I bought " refurbished " about 3 years ago. I like Brother Printers and find them more economical on ink, offer better print quality, and are more reliable than Cannon or HP (especially HP printers. The MFC-J4510 stopped printing colors. Black was fine but colors would not print. I didnt need all the features of the 4510 so I selected the MFC-J1170DW. I am VERY pleased with the ease of setup (Wi-Fi) it was up and running in 15 minutes. All of the required drivers and programming were downloaded and installed quickly, no glitches, and worked first time out. Print quality is AWESOME, duplex and two sided print, all the bells and whistles, plus PC Fax if you want it, and its a document scanner. These guys make good machines, that dont drink ink like a drunken sailor, and puts out a high quality copy, scan, or print quickly and from ALL your devices. Good Job Brother

It took an act of Congress to get them to understand that a printer is useless without ink.

I only had to wait three weeks for them to arrive.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brother MFC-J1170DW Using the printer on 2 Linux Mint and 1 Win10 computers. Downloaded and installed all available drivers from Brother. Basically, the printer prints well from any of the printers except that the printer has to be manually woken by touching the printer display before it will print (at least, from my primarily used Linux computer). Note that I have "deep sleep" turned off. Tried to use it wirelessly, but printer would disconnect itself from the router several times a day which required that I use the small printer screen to log back on the router to use it. Wound up having to wire the printer to the router to solve this. The special scanner functions from the printer display, ie scan to computer, et al, do not work as the display says that there is no computer connected even tho I can print to, ping and login to the printer from the computer. The doc feeder appears to work OK. I have not noticed a tremendous ink usage as reported in some reviews (turning off deep sleep may have helped this as that is why I did it). Overall & as a light basic user, it is acceptable as a "beside the computer and router" printer. Would not be so if I had to depend on a wireless connection or routinely needed the printer screen scan. This is my first Brother printer and altho it basically meets my current light needs, I wonder if a more expensive version may have worked better and more comparable to other printers I have used.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product I received few days ago the Brother - MFC - J1170DW and it is awesome. The installation is very easy, you just have to plug the power supply, insert the cartridges and turn on the printer and wifi. Your computer will find it and install the proper driver. if you are using your phone, just use the given QR code.All function works great, I like the scanning part, I can digitize all my document quickly and easily. The printing is very fast which my kids appreciate a lot. I also like that the screen can rotate. In summary, I recommend this printer center, especially in these times where everybody works from home. It is easy, quick and good quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Value Wireless Smart Printer This is an all-in-one printer, scanner and fax solution for home office. Ever since I started working from home I struggled with printing and faxing, then finally decided to install a printer. Honestly, this machine solves all my problems and works like magic. Installation was easy and simple, manual they provide is super helpful. You can load upto 150 sheets and enjoy printing without the need to load paper over and over again. The tray can handle a variety of sizes and specialty papers. It supports 2 sided printed, we can save a lot of paper! When connected with wifi, you can easily set up cloud printing and scanning. They have an app you can download, connect your printer and print directly from your smartphone. It also has a beautiful 2.7 color touchscreen display for an easy navigation and setup. Overall I am super satisfied with this printer and would highly recommend it to folks working from home or running a small business.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Machine with minor annoyances A little work to set up, but the machine works well. The only problem I have with the machine, is that it defaults to jpg, when I need pdf. Have to go to settings to change that. The only other thing is that it will not accept a setting change to print the last page first. Workable but annoying at times. Overall, I am pleased with the performance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Home Office & Personal Printer Bought the Brother MFC-J1170DW to replace an HP printer that had mechanical issues showing up. Researched printers for over a month before purchasing this Brother printer. I am very please with my choice. This printer turns on very quickly compared to my former printer. It is ready to print in just about 5 seconds or less after I power it up. Its screen is bright, clear and easy to read. It is very, very quiet and quickly produces copies, even double sided copies. Am very pleased with this Brother printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What Good is a Printer that you Can't Use?? The printer itself is fine. The problem is, ink is not to be had anywhere. The best the company could do was estimate availability in "2 to 4 weeks." We know of a lot of small businesses whose livelihood depends on being able to print daily schedules, orders, contracts, invoices, etc; who've had to buy a different printer because of Brother's ink shortage. I've done the same, and I will be billing Brother for the cost. Brother should be ashamed of themselves.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good printer. Very reliable I'm moving to Brother from Hewlett Packard: the reason is a desire for a more stable and reliable printer. Here are a few comparisons. 1 The HP prints better photographs overall but the Brother is not far behind. 2) The scanner is top notch. 3) The copier is very good. 4) The setup was easy. 5) The software is good whereas the HP was a constant frustration. 6) Too early to tell about the ink except to say that photos print on the cool rather than warm side. i will experiment to see if I can get better photo printing. The ink seems moderately priced. 7) The printer quality seems to be on the "cheap" side. However, that said, it seems to work just fine. 8) I like the small footprint of the Brother. Good value. I'm happy with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great printer, ink availability is inconsistent It's a great combo printer and scanner. Prints relatively fast and the quality is good. It does drain your black ink pretty quickly and if you scroll down you can see that the most commonly used ink is consistently out of stock. The inconsistency has really turned me off Brother products altogether. Ive had the printer for a couple years now and it seems I am always having to buy ink somewhere different.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Scanner is a disaster The printer seems to work fine, but the scanner is a disaster. It doesn't work and just pumps blank paper through the feeder..no messages with any useful information. Looking online, it seems a lot of people have the same problem...Even worse, Brother is useless as far as fixing the problem...no definitive analysis of what may be wrong and just a bunch of gibberish online as far as maybe being fixable by finding the right driver.. If you cared about the customers you've fleeced with an inferior product, you would put a simple down load on your web page with simple instructions on how to install and fix the problem. But you don't. Definitely not world class behavior.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good, but not great I have no complaints about how the printer is performing, but two complaints about the printer itself. For one thing, it makes a great deal of noise when it moves the paper to begin a print job. The other is that, although the printer is working wirelessly (i.e., without a cable connection to my computer), the light that indicates that it s connected wirelessly does not light up. I've had two other Brother printers: the MFC-J870 DW. which, in my opinion, were of higher quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What a Shakedown! Bought this printer after its 10-year-old predecessor locked up after an update. I quizzed reps at Brother in two calls before purchasing this model on whether non-genuine ink could be used. They said "yes." Fast forward 3 months, after I refilled the starter cartridges provided and fired up the machine. All sorts of error codes popped up, and the printer wouldn't recognize its own original cartridges. The error codes could not be cleared and the machine would not function. Called Brother again about generic ink and non-OEM cartridges, and this time, the Brother rep said: "We say they might work; we don't guarantee that they will." Really? He also said there was no error-clearing code he could provide, even though these cartridges worked fine that morning and were only half-way depleted when I filled them. The only solution offered was to buy their overpriced ink cartridges or join their Refresh ink program. I feel like I've just had some sort of mob encounter -- a real shakedown attempt! ("You pay us, lady, and you get your machine back.") How is this allowable? Reviews on other websites for this printer are also starting to mention trouble using non-Brother ink. Brother printers used to be solid, trustworthy machines that stood the test of time. I could never recommend one now. I am currently shopping for a tank printer made by another company.

Set up was easy, (and I'm an elder with only so much computer tech know-how) and shipping service from Brother was fast and convenient. It seems rather "plain" because of the interface, but all the bells and whistles are there. The software works well with my MacBook Air. I have found Brother very efficient and friendly to deal with.
