Brother MFC-7840W 3.25

Explain star rating

RRP

$599.00

Review Date

Friday, 25th of July, 2008

What's Hot

Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, good print quality, highly cost efficient

What's Not

No duplex, slow fax, poor image scan quality

The Final Word

The MFC-7840W improves on its cheaper counterparts with the addition of Wi-Fi connectivity. However, the extra $100 compared to the MFC-7440N hardly seems justified. This multifunction makes a good printer, but its scanning quality isn't great.
