Key features:

• ADF and flatbed scanner
• Wi-Fi connectivity
• Good photo print quality

This printer sits in Brother’s range of small office and home office printers and comes with all the features you’d expect for an office machine for a price that’s now under £100.

There’s a 20-page automatic document feeder as well as a flat scanner, and you can print directly from cloud storage service such as Dropbox using just the printer, which connects to the internet over Wi-Fi.

It’s relatively fast, albeit not the quickest printer around with a mixed print speed of 7.3ppm in our tests. Things slow down substantially if you up the quality. Black text is very nicely presented, although colours printed on standard paper don’t look as good as they do on rival printers. Photos on photo paper look great, though, with good colours and lots of definition.

One thing to note about this printer is that it’s noisy thanks to it’s “flutter” system to prevent jams. It works, but you definitely know about it.

At time of review the Brother MFC-J4620DW was available from £167.
