Review 2 for Brother Fax/ Phone/ Copier
No ink cartridge - carbon paper technology used

was very unhappy with the fact that this machine did not use an ink cartridge but instead a carbon paper. Had no idea that old of technology was out there at all anymore. Returned the product.
Cons: no ink cartridge
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Good price
What's not so great: Dated technology
I bought the machine primarily for SENDING occasional faxes, not receiving them. The technology is somewhat dated but adequate. It works fine for my purposes. I am happy with it, but would consider a completely different machine and type for regular use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: A lot of functionality in a very small space.
What's not so great: Uses a printer ribbon; lacks an answering machine.
Best Buy had this on sale for half-price; at full price I would still rate it a good value, but not an "excellent" one.
This replaced a much older thermal fax/phone/answering machine; it only takes up half the space, it uses regular paper (meaning I can now receive AND re-send faxes), and it has slightly more sophisticated functions than the old unit (also a Brother). Of course, to use regular paper in a small space, it needs a printer ribbon (basically a sheet of glossy carbon paper, if you are old enough to remember that stuff), but the ability to use regular paper is worth the extra expense of a ribbon; a "starter" ribbon is included, but you should probably buy a replacement as well. The lack of answering machine functions was a bit distressing - fax and business voice-mail sometimes don't get along, so a separate answering machine is useful - but there was only one suitably compact fax/phone with a built-in answering machine, it was "Coming Soon" at a much higher price, and I didn't want to wait. This unit, however, does have a dedicated jack for an external answering machine, and can easily route voice calls to that device.
The old machine was still going strong, until the phone installer knocked it off the desk! - so I suspect this one will last quite a while.

What's great about it: Looks pretty good
What's not so great: Too early to tell, so far great
The fax machine is easier then the request for review. They should (best buy) spend 5 min. and hook a link from the product you buy in the e-mail request they send you. It took longer to come write the review then to work the fax machine. Other than that, for the price who could complain. Thanks.

What's great about it: easy to set up lets you fax the registration and receive a conformation fax to ensure that everything works properly
What's not so great: needs something designed to catch papers from the bottom when you fax them
Overall this was a great fax machine for what i paid for it. I would recommend it to someone who would use it for personal reason or possibly small business. It is fast and effeicent and there is also a fax conformation feature that can be set up to reassure you that your fax had been recived. It was also easy to set up and begin useing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's not so great: nothing
I got tired of going else where to use a fax. I decided it's time to buy my own. I did a little research and found that this fax was affortable for the price and my pocket. It's a nice size, easy to use and set up. And it's not ugly either, if you know what i mean.

What's great about it: Set up was easy, even with limited computer skills.
What's not so great: Still haven't been able to tie in our daughter's laptop (Apple).
This purchase replaced a dinosaur HP printer that had lasted well; however, the upgraded features on this Canon has made us wonder why we waited so long! For basic home use, this model has met & exceeded our needs. Set up wasn't any problem--just need to retry getting our daughter's laptop (Apple) to tie in with it. Print quality is great for home use--our daughter promptly put it to use for her college scholarship applications. Ink consumption is no worse than the old HP, easier & less expensive to replace, & we like having colors. The copying & scanning features are really convenient & easy to follow. All around, this model delivers, especially at the $99 price.

What's not so great: Menu not very user friendly
If you are going to use it at home very periodically it is a good purchase. But if you are going to depend on it for business you should get a better machine. I might use it a couple of times a month and for the price it will pay itself. (If you are currently sending faxes from Kinkos or Office Depot).
