A Fast, Reliable All-in-One Printer for Home & Home Offices
I have received a free sample of the imageCLASS MF284dw. Right off the bat, I appreciated the multi-function capabilities of this printer (printing, scanning and copying). The resolution of printing is 600 X 600 dpi which is ideal for both scanning and printing.
Bigger printing tasks are no issue with the 250 sheet paper capacity. The 5 Inch LCD panel is efficient, simple and easy to use, boasting connectivity directly (via USB) or wirelessly (Wi-fi).
From my testing, the first page prints in under five seconds, which is a significant productivity boost for busy office environments. Additionally, the Canon Print app is a convenient feature for mobile users, allowing easy print and scan operations from smartphones.
It also supports Canon’s GENUINE toner cartridges, helping to extend the life of the device while providing high-quality prints. Overall, it's a solid choice if you need an efficient, and compact laser printer?.

Great for mini office
I received the image class mf284dw free for doing a review of it. It's a great fit for a home office, I didn't have a hard time at all setting it up to print. We have used our smartphones,tablets, laptops and computers to print off documents, pictures homework and all came out great.The copies made come out just like the original ones. The touch screen took me a minute to figure out because I have never had one like it
But was not hard to figure out. The two sided option was fast at printing. Prints fast and holdes alot of paper.

Love Love this printer
Canon sent me this printer to try out from home since I work from home a lot. It was an excellent printer. The only thing that I could have changed if I would have been able to is the size but I'm not really sure that that could have been changed seeing as this printer does so much. It's perfect for the office or home or if your home is your office

Great Quality but Big Printer!
I was given the Canon imageCLASS MF289dw printer for FREE to complete this review! When I first received it I was overwhelmed by the box size and thought there was no way it would fit in my house. When I unboxed it, it was packed very securely with the styrofoam top and bottom packers. The user manual was very detailed, it also included a QR code to watch videos to set up the machine.
I did have difficulty setting it up, primarily due to user error and my Wi-Fi not connecting at first. The pages printed very clearly and quickly and did not jam up like my previous printer would. I like the energy saver feature, it would turn the printer off when it was idle for a certain period of time. I primarily would print by sending items from my iPhone to the printer and had no issues.
Overall, this is a great option if you have a home office and need black ink-printed items, you print a lot (it has the capacity), and you have a big enough space to store it since it is pretty big.

I received this item free and it works beautifully. Very easy setup, I was able to be printing in 5 minutes. It also comes with everything necessary other than paper and prints fast and efficiently. Printer looks good too! Much better than any of my other printers i’ve ever owned.

Great for businesses
I received this laser printer for free and I would say that I loved it! It was so straightforward when it came to installation. I'm a handy gal, but when it comes to tech products I want to ask someone else for help. With this printer I didn't have to. The install and setup was so easy and straightforward. If you are a small to mid size business owner, then this is right for you!

Good
I received this printer in exchange for agreeing to write a review. The Canon laser printer is fairly nice. The printer was easy to set up. The functionality is not as easy as the setup. The printer is an excellent home office printer. The printer is fast and the print quality is good. It prints in black and white only, which is great for my work. I love the two-sided printing feature that saves paper. Setting up the Bluetooth to print was easy and convenient. Canon has an app that you can use to print from. The Document printing function is ultra-convenient. Using the app, you can print documents and photos from your phone or tablet. There is also a scanning option as well within the app. The copying option is super fast and works well. Scanning documents to your email is a bit difficult to figure out. But that is one of the few cons that I have.

Overall great printer
I recently received a Canon MF289dw as part of a focus group to review. The printer arrived approximately three weeks ago. In that time, we had the opportunity to print quite a bit and over all I really like it.
I work in the tech industry and print a lot of circuit diagrams and rack drawings and such and my wife is a Kindergarten teacher and as a teacher she is always printing out new pages for her kids to color or help them learn their ABC’s etc. In the last 3 weeks we have printed about 540 pages using this printer and there are some things that I really like about it and there are a couple things I think could be improved.
First the things I like. The printer is fast especially compared to my ink jet printer. We can print out about 50 pages in a matter of a minute and a half or so or so. I think the specs say 35 pages a minute but I swear this one is faster.
The printer can do double sided printing and it barely slows it down. The software was easy to install on our PC, my wife’s Mac book air, my chrome book and both our iPhones. Since the printer is wireless I can print from my phone or any of those devices really quick. This is of course only in black and white. The copy and scan function works great with no issues and you can copy multiple pages very quickly. Pictures scanned to my computer where no problem and scanned quickly. The printer also holds a half a ream of paper so you can stick 250 pages in the bin which unless you are a kindergarten teacher will last you awhile.
Most of the functions are done either through the software or from a touch screen on the printer which I think is really nice. My inkject is menu driven and putting in things like passwords and such is a pain in the rear compared to the Canon.
In fairness, the printer is also a FAX but I don’t have a land line and haven’t sent a fax in a so long I can’t even remember it so I can not say one way or the other how that works.
Now for the things that I didn’t like so much.
This printer isn’t small. Its about 16x15x15 and from what I have seen from other similar sized laser printers, its loud in my opinion. It isn’t so loud that is obnoxious but it is louder than my inkjet printer. Also, once a page is printed it sits recessed in the device making it a little more difficult to grab your pages. If you google the printer and look at the picture, you will see what I mean. The last thing I would say is in looking up the cartridges for this printer you find two. One is the standard and supposed to do up to 1400 pages and the other is the high capacity and supposed to do up to around 4000 pages if I am not mistaken. The cartridge that came with mine I believe is the standard and I have printed out about 540 pages as I mentioned earlier and the printer says I’m down to 10%. I do not know if the cartridge I got is really the standard or some starter cartridge that has less capacity but something to think about.
Overall I really like this printer and it takes the strain of our inkjet printer which as I’m sure you probably know can be really expensive when you print the amount that we so. I would certainly recommend this to anyone.

This is great for my home office!
I was sent this printer in exchange for my honest review of this product. I would like to start by saying that the size of the box I received was overwhelming. It wasn't until I opened the box that I realized the printer wasnt as big as the box it was shipped in. It was just packaged extremely well which I was grateful for. It took about 5-10 minutes to get it out, set it up, and connect it to my devices. I have a laptop and an iPhone that I constantly print things from. You can have the option to use the touchscreen on the printer to hook up the wireless internet connection, or you can use Bluetooth. I love having the Bluetooth option to print from my phone. Both were super easy to set up. I am going to give a list of my pros and cons. First the pros: Set up was a cakewalk, connecting to my devices was a breeze. This printer is fast. Even when printing double sided. I think i was printing around 40 pages per minute. This also holds a large amount of paper so you're not running out constantly. This machine is a printer, a scanner, a copier, and a fax all in one. So, you're getting multiple products all in one! The cons: Being that it's a laser printer, it is rather large and does take up more space than your average printer. It only prints in black and white, so if you're looking to print in color then this probably isn't for you. This printer is a little bit loud while it's working. It didn't bother me, but I wanted to be thorough. To wrap up my review I would like to talk about the other functions besides just the printer. I had absolutely no issues using the scanner or the copier function. It's also a fax, but I don't have use for that so I'm unable to give an opinion on it. All in all, this is a fantastic printer for someone that prints out a lot of papers per day and need it done in a timely manner. I work from home, so this is perfect for my home office! I also love being able to scan and copy from home. The large ink capacity is also a major plus. We all know how expensive ink these days is.

BUY IT
Works fantastically, and while I was given it for free in return that I review it, I AM deciding to keep it instead of reselling it because it’s THAT GOOD.
