> I think there's some rose-colored glasses effect going on here That may be anecdotal based on brand and model. I can agree with you in this case because I've got the Brother DCP-L2540DW. I got it on sale for $99 CAD (~$75 USD) when it was still the newest model available. I'm using the stock cartridge still, though I have a refill purchased and ready to go in case it's not possible to buy one when the original powder runs out. This line of Brother printers is indeed good. It's impossible to say whether this applies generally to any laser printer, or to any Brother laser printer, or if we were simply lucky to have picked up these particular models.

My Brother hl 2340d is also working really well. Using the same 10€ cartridge for over 3 years now and not one hickup

Not sure of the exact model, but we had a brother laser printer at my old work. A few of them actually. They were fairly reliable most of the time. It would jam occasionally and figuring out errors with it was sometimes frustrating. But i never really hated them or have any ill feelings towards them the way i do with other printers.

I bought a Brother HLL2300D over 5 years ago. I only print about 10 pages a month but it has never jammed and I just put in my third toner cartridge. It's monochrome but I almost never need to print in color. For photos I just upload to Walgreens and pick them up a mile away. I went through 2 HP Inkjets and I don't print very much and the ink always went dry after a few months and I know there was still ink in them.

I think I got it on the same sale. It was at Staples, I think, right? But mine didn’t have a good life. It still works, but has a super weird issue where if you sent it more than a few pages it’ll hang with an error message needing a restart. Sending many pages as individual jobs is fine though.
