9830 - 14745 Multifunction Devices

The Bottom Line: The Brother MFC-7440N prints quickly and is fairly inexpensive to sustain, but we simply can't get behind a printer with poor quality graphics, significant hardware defects, and a boring design.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 600 x 2400 dpi, None

The Bottom Line: The Brother MFC-685CW inkjet multifunction printer offers tons of great features at the expense of print speed and quality. If speed and quality are your priorities, look elsewhere.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 600 x 2400 dpi, Corded handset

The Bottom Line: The Brother MFC-440cn has a lot to offer, but it falls short on print quality. We prefer the Canon Pixma MP530 for a small-office environment.

The Bottom Line: The Brother MFC-420cn is a good multifunction for easy digital photo printing, but it's too limited for heavy workloads.

The Bottom Line: A small home office with light faxing, scanning, and copying needs could make do with this product.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 600 x 2400 dpi, None

The Bottom Line: A budget-conscious office or family could buy this inexpensive multifunction for its good faxing and scanning but only if they can tolerate its slow, subpar printing.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 600 x 2400 dpi, None

The Bottom Line: It may be a slightly dysfunctional multifunction, but the MFC-4800 is a capable personal laser printer at a decent price.
