All that one needs for basic printing

Strengths: speed

Weakness: width of unit could be smaller

This is a nice home printing unit. I especially appreciate the fact that it has three printing resolution selections under the toner saving mode. It makes the toner last alot longer.

Great Little Printer

Strengths: Everything as advertised

Weakness: Need to replace the toner fairly soon

Got this printer to use outdoors during sporting events that I officiate. It performs great. The only drawback is the toner is comes with does not last very long.

Brother HL-2140

Strengths: Easy to set up, Fast on the draw, Economical to use

Weakness: None that I know of

This being my second Brother Laser (also have the HL-2040 which I love)I purchased this for my home. Too many times you need just black print and using an ink jet was not cost effective. The laser is much faster also. The price point on this is what put me over the top. $49.99 less a mfg. rebate of $20 and $10 store incentive coupon made it way cheaper than buying a new toner. It is easy to set...

Great Printer!!!

Strengths: Cheap compare to other laser printers, fast printing, small form factor.

Weakness: Toner is kind of new and expense.

My 5 year printer just died, I need a printer for printer paper and report, no need for color printing. This one was on sale, and fit what I needed. It prints very fast compared to my old printer, and at a great price. The toner is kind of new, and is expense, but not by much. This is my first laser printer and I love it!!

Good value product for its price

Strengths: Only $50 for me, and probably one of the least expensive laser printers out there. Easy to install and use, fast printouts, and great as a personal printer.

Weakness: USB cable not included which I guess is the standard. Semi-loud to warm up before the first printout. Not exactly great at printing envelops. Toner cartridge expensive.

I like this printer more than my first laser printer - Samsung 1710, and I can network this printer throughout the house as well. I ended up buying the USB cord at monoprice.com and ended up being a little more than $3 with shipping included, so no biggie :)

Great Small Mono Laser Printer

Strengths: Price (only cost me about 70 from Staples), Small, Fast.

Weakness: Front individual sheet feed tray: the lever doesn't move smoothly to size the feeding paper, for example, envelopes. small inserts

In stead of buying 97 dollars cartridge replacement for old laser printer(HP), it was more economical to purchase this one which comes with a cartridge (but the cartridge is smaller (1/2) than other cartridges-) The cartridge itself yields about 1,500 (according to manufacturer) and costs about $35. Half size and capacity of my old one(which costs about $ 86-97 and yields 3500) Only thing I'm not...

Excellent budget home laser!

Strengths: Lightning fast printer, high resolution vs similarly priced models, reasonable toner. Works PERFECTLY with a low-end D-Link print server, where many others did not. Power consumption is minimal.

Weakness: Significant "page curl" during printing, some configuration options cannot be set from the printer itself, and must be set from the driver (worked for me even thru a wireless print server).

This is a fantastic printer, and can be bought many places for less than $50. PPM speed is phenomenal, resolution is higher than any similarly priced printers, and it works with off-brand wireless print servers, putting it in a very small group. Power consumption in "sleep mode" (as measured by a "kill-o-watt" meter), is negligible -- I have clocks that use more power! When I need to print...

Brother HL-2140

Strengths: very cheap, fast, and quiet

Weakness: none

I got this printer at officemax for 50 dollars. I also like the fact that the paper tray is not sticking out. The printer is a lot quieter than the other laser printer that I have (samsung scx-4100).

PERFECT LITTLE PRINTER

Strengths: Beautiful-Looking Machine, Easy To Use, Durable construction, Compact Design, Sharp detail, Reliable, Fast Print Time, Low toner consumption, Economical, Easy Setup

Weakness: None at all

The HL-2140 is intended for light-duty use, personal or home office. It is not intended for use in large offices, where hundreds of pages are printed everyday. This printer is a laser printer that uses toner (graphite-colored powder) that is burned into the paper; it is not made to do photos, especially on photo papers. This Brother printer prints extremely fast and is relatively quiet. You can...
