Good Points: Its a work horse. It has a fax delay feature, and it will reattempt twice if the receiving fax is busy. The newer models only attempt once. Sufficient memory for storing incoming faxes if you run out of paper. Telephone receiver. Simple set up and maintenance.
Bad Points: Locating the LC21 ink cartridges at office supply stores. Mainly Staples carries it, but not at every store.
General comments: The newer machines are nice. I like the 1820c the best. I mainly send and receive black and white copies. I like the option of color if I want to copy photos. I print the photo from my computer and make additional copies on my fax machine. This is a replacement machine. The other exact model had a major failure about five years ago and it was replaced by Brother. I had the other unit for 1 1/2 years before it died. I upgraded to a fax/scanner with no telephone receiver at my office, and brought the 1820c home.

Easy to use, but no backup or support. Ours has just developed an Error 41 but we don't know what that means.

The Brother Colour 1820C has good colour, is fast, and is reliable. A great machine for phoning faxing and copying, a recommended buy.

Will never buy this model again Error 41 a main problem, when contacting a brother dealer, they wanted to send an engineer at an extortionate price cheaper to buy a new unit from a different manufacturer, I would avoid this model!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find that the Brother Colour 1820C consumes vast quantities of ink due to a clean cycle brother have installed.
With the machine being barely 2 years old, error 41 has appeared on the screen requiring technical assistance which costs more for an engineer to come out than the machine itself. I would advise you to avoid this fax machine like the plague

My advice is - Do not buy a Brother Colour 1820C! Mine has gone wrong (error 41)after 3 years of only light use, it is not apparently worth repairing, and I will switch manufacturers because of this bad experience.

I would STRONGLY urge all future consumers NOT to purchase a Brother Fax 1820C. It's nothing but trouble.

It eats expensive ink - Brother has set this up so that it uses ink all the time on the unnecessary cleaning cycle. What a brilliant money making wheeze for them. Run a mile from the Brother Colour 1820C fax machine, as it is an absolute money pit.

I purchased a Brother Colour 1820C , 6 months ago, and have only had six faxes sent to it and now the colour cartridges are empty, I have been in touch with Brother, and they have said that it goes through a cleaning cycle every couple of days and this uses some ink, if I had known this I would not have purchased this model of Fax machine.
