Good Points

Cheap to buy

Bad Points

Expensive to run.
Drinks ink because of the cleaning cycle - even if I print less than 1 page PER WEEK, my cartridges will need replacing about three times per year - that's 12 cartridges.

Ghastly running costs for light users. Might be ok if you get the ink printed before it is all wasted on the cleaning cycle.

General Comments

Brother Multifunction machines are cheap - because they must make huge amounts on the ink.

If you absolutely must buy this machine - use cheapo ink as I don't think using their own ink makes the slightest jot of difference when you get the famous Error 41 (Print head dead - though it works just fine in test mode!)

For inkjet, stick with Epson or HP, for lasers, Brother are not too bad - but mine seems clunky and noisy - and only seem to get part-filled toner carts when you buy them new - unlike HP which always give full toner carts. Bear this in mind when comparing costs - a Brother unit may only have half the stated page count before you need to buy more toner.
