Brother MFC-210C Color Inkjet Multifunction Printer Review Summary

One printer that has reviewers divided is the Brother MFC- 210C Color Inkjet Multi- function Printer. Reviewers like the multiple functions with this printer, such as printing, copying, scanning, and faxing and they like the quality of the copies. But opinions are generally negative beyond that and comments like “Great All in One Printer” and “It was Great Until it Died” convey the divided attitudes toward this electronic device. The tendency of the Brother MFC- 210C Color Inkjet Multi- function Printer to break down in a relatively short time has many questioning the printer’s durability and when these negative factors are taken into account, the ability to copy, scan, fax, and print no longer seem that important. In summary, it places this Brother multi- function device below average among Printers and one that buyers should beware.

I hate dealing with printers. But I needed one for my home office. I was lucky to stumble across this one, which happened to be on sale. I didn't really think I needed all the functions, but I have ended up using them all and loving it. In fact, I liked it so much, I bought one as a gift for a friend.... read full review »

The Brother MFC 210C  was a great machine. I enjoyed it thoroughly for about a year. The first thing to go was the memory card reader. That was disappointing, but my computer had one so it was no big deal. Then one day it came up saying "Unable to Init." "See troubleshooting Manual......" blah blah... read full review »

The Brother MFC 210C may only cost $100.00 but let me tell you, you pay through the teeth for the ink.  The ink is very expensive and let me explain something that you may not know.  If you have full cartridges of Black, Magenta and Cyan and you run out of Yellow, usually you could still print in Black only on any other printer, but NOT the Brother MFC 210C.  That's right folks, if you run out of yellow but still have full cartridges of the other colors, the printer will not print, not even black only.  It prompts you to replace the yellow and only then will it print.  You DO NOT have the...

Brother MFC-240C

I left Epson because of their ink scam and lawsuit and bought this Brother only to have a worse problem than the Epson!

I bought this printer and didn't use it except to test it and copy about 5 pages.  I left the printer plugged in the power outlet for a 3-4 months and I happen to walk into the computer room one day when I heard it doing some work.  I walked in and all lights were off but it was cleaning/priming the head!!  I could only stop it by disconnecting the power!

When I turned it on it told me all inks were low!!! I didn't even use this darn thing yet!!

This is...

I print everything on here.  Use it for copies, scanning, faxing, and more.  Think the ink runs out fast and needs the print heads cleaned quite often.  The pop up trying to sell me new ink is very annoying.  If I wanted to order ink I would go on line and order it.  I don't always need something on my screen popping up asking me to order.  Besides this it is a good reliable printer.
