Comments on Brother MFC-490CW Wireless All-in-One Inkjet

Overall, the MFC-490CW looks like a better deal to us than the MFC-990CW. Although it can only use standard-yield cartridges and has no answering device or portable phone, you can buy both of these separately for less than the difference in price between the two machines. The print quality and speed of these Brother all-in-ones isn't up to what Canon or HP routinely produce, but they’re probably adequate for home and sole-trader business tasks. The convenience of wireless connection, the widescreen LCD display and the comparatively small footprint all work in the MFC-490CW’s favour, as a true multifunction device for home and small business.

Overall

8/10

I have owned one of these for 3 months and it has been a nightmare. It constantly loses the wireless signal and login. I have to re-set up the wireless and codes 4-5 times a day although my multiple laptops happily work over my home wireless network without fault. Please do not buy one of these.

This has to be the worse printer I have ever owned, why did I not stick with HP. The worse thing is it uses ink without printing anything, it is constantly cleaning and takes so long to do so, where does the ink go? I have only managed to print 3 colour items before it informed that one of the inks had run out. Awful machine DO NOT BUY IT.
