Brother
4.5
(220)
"I just checked Amazon and it seems I bought my Brother DCP7065DN 14 years ago, and I used it today. Prints look great."
"My mother has had a Brother Laser printer for probably 20 years and it still work perfectly."
"Brother has made the same basic engine for more than a decade, and they’re nearly bulletproof."
"My Brother L3550CDW works flawlessly. So I'd recommend anything from Brother really."
"Brother - works amazing and never fails. Probably 12 years old - 2 international moves…."
"Rented a Brother laser printer back in the day, then just… never gave it back."
"My parents bought a Brother laser printer in 2005ish. I’m convinced it has an unlimited toner."
"Brother. Full stop. 3rd party toner friendly, and somewhat repairable."
"I went through SO many HP printers for my business before finally switching to Brother."
"Concur. There is no such thing as BIFL in the IT world, but Brother is the best currently available."

Canon
4.2
(19)
"I only buy and recommend Canon printers, now. They function great, no subscription bullshit, toner lasts forever, DPI is good and images/colors are spot on."
"I have Canon which has been outstanding. I also have a Brother which is also very good but it’s using more toner than my Canon does."
"I've been using it since 4 - 5 years ago without needing to replace the toner yet"
"Canon laser printers are great options!"
"Just me over here with a Canon MF656Cdw :)"
"It is super fast, the colors are crisp, and the toner lasts a long time."
"We really like it and have yet to have to clear out a jam."
"It's a good choice, in my opinion, for the price"
"The cheapest possible, then Canon imageCLASS LBP6030w."
"It too expensive and does what you’re looking for."

HP
3.1
(24)
"It's been true workhorse without a single issue."
"I have an HP M15 w. got it (3-4 years ago) because it is small and wireless and just works."
"I have a small HP laser printer I bought back in 2018, extremely efficient and does accept third party."
"These days I believe brother is the go to."
"HP and Brother have subscriptions to get new ink/toner cartridges, but you don't NEED to have that to physically use the printer."
"Spend the money and go for a HP. The difference is that with HP’s the fused and toner cartridges are different."
"My old HP 1320 is still going strong."
"I heard good things about hp lasers. I do have an ancient hp 5100 laserjet."
"My old HP was fantastic. Is HP a grand slam when it comes to Laser?"
"I currently own a recent HP BW laser printer."

Epson

"Try ink tank inkjet printers from Epson and Canon (ecotank and mega tank) It is the lowest printing cost you can find."
"Epson eco tank."
"Epson."
"Eco tank for sure. I bought mine 2nd hand from mercari and I love to print everything."
"The Epson Ecotank is highly recommended for those who don't print frequently on glossy paper."
"Epson Ecotank. Get it from Costco and return it if it breaks, ever."
"I have an Epson Ecotank ET 2800 and it serves me well."
"Ecotanks are good but the ones designed for home use require that you use them 'often'."
"Epsons can be okay but still can have major issues. More to do with clogged ink due to not using it regularly."

"I haven't regretted it at all."
"That thing is a workhorse and is still going strong."

"Both companies make great laser printers, can't go wrong with either one."

Konica Minolta

(3)
"We always get the Konica Minolta machines, the bizhub C352 is what we have now."
"Being a Konica guy I would recommend a C3350i since we just came out with the 1i series and you probably could find a good one on a discount."
"Konica Minolta C3350i"
