A terrific bargain on sale.

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: A lot of functionality in a very small space.
What's not so great: Uses a printer ribbon; lacks an answering machine.
I would recommend this to a friend!
