I rarely give a perfect 5-star rating, but the Brother MFC-J010DW has genuinely earned every single one of them. As someone who juggles both work-from-home tasks and personal printing needs, finding a printer that ticks all the boxes – reliability, efficiency, quality, and ease of use – has always been a challenge. The MFC-J010DW doesn't just tick them; it excels at them.Setup was an absolute breeze. From unboxing to printing my first document, it took mere minutes. The wireless connectivity was seamless, connecting to my home network without a hitch, and printing from both my laptop and mobile devices has been incredibly straightforward thanks to its intuitive app and direct print capabilities.Print quality is consistently superb. Whether it's sharp, crisp text documents for work reports or vibrant, true-to-life color photos for family albums, this printer delivers. I've been particularly impressed with the detail and clarity it achieves, even on standard paper.The MFC-J010DW is a true multifunction workhorse. The scanner is fast and accurate, perfect for digitizing important documents. The copier function is equally impressive, producing clear duplicates quickly. And the automatic duplex printing (two-sided printing) is a game-changer, saving both paper and time – an absolute must-have feature for any busy individual or small business.Ink efficiency is another major plus. I've found the cartridges to last a surprisingly long time, which is a welcome relief compared to previous printers that seemed to guzzle ink. This translates to real savings in the long run.Finally, the compact design means it fits perfectly into my home office setup without being an eyesore. It's quiet in operation, which is great for not disrupting calls or concentration.In summary, the Brother MFC-J010DW is an outstanding printer that offers incredible value. It's reliable, versatile, produces high-quality output, and is incredibly user-friendly. If you're looking for a printer that truly does it all, flawlessly and efficiently, look no further. This is the one!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I returned an Epson ecotank et-2800 printer, for which I paid over $200 dollars, as I had all kind of issues with it. An Amazon support person recommended this brother printer to me. I was a little leery since the price was over $100 dollars cheaper, but since I had the thirty-day return ability, I thought I would give it a try.So far, although I only have it a couple of days, I couldn't be more satisfied: simple installation, prints and scans flawlessly and surprisingly fast, even out does my old HP $500 printer using cardstock. I also like the Brother utilities that are installable on my Windows 11 computer. I don't print from my IPhone so not sure about that feature.

Am I 100% happy with this printer. No, I am not. It works great and for the price range it prints well. I wanted a printer that the ability to be used wirelessly so that I could tap into it from my phone and a computer in another room. This printer can do that. What I was unhappy with was that you CAN NOT use this printer as a corded printer. I had never bought a wireless able printer before that you could not also use with a card. That was a big letdown. The setup to network at my house had to be done manually before I could even get started. So, from what I can tell, and I may be wrong. You have to some kind of network to use this printer.Now, once you get it setup. as I said for the price of this printer you can't complain about the speed it prints or the quality that it prints.I still gave it the 5 stars as I am assuming I did not understand the newer meaning of Wireless printer compared to 5 years ago.

So far it works great. BUT! when installing the printer on the WIFI, and it doesn't find your modem, you will go through the help manual. LISTEN UP! please copy the instructions on finding your wifi (I should have but didn't).If your power goes out in the house, there is a chance you will need to do the instructions over again, as when power goes out, the printer goes back to the way it was before you did the "find your modem".Other than that issue, the printer works nicely even printing both sides to save your paper as my old Canon printer did'nt do.IF any other issues I run into, I will do an update on this post.
