Advantages: Cheap, reliable, quiet

Disadvantages: Lacks RJ45 port

I bought this Brother HL 2030 printer for business use nearly 2 years ago from Staples for about £30.00 at the time. I use it about a couple of times a week and I'm still on the original 'starter' toner! Granted it's not been used every single day, but in my opinion it's a great little laser printer for home or light office use.

I've not had any problems with it, even when there's been power cuts it's not died on me. Surprisingly for such a low value entry level printer it does a great job and has always been reliable and fairly quick to print my documents out.

I also use it for printing on DL envelopes and in all the time I've owned it, it's only ever once jammed on me (and that was user error rather than printer error - I didn't put the paper in the tray properly!).

I've only ever used HP or Kyocera laser printers in the past, so I was a bit apprehensive about buying this printer but I have to say, I think I made a very good purchase.

Being a low value laser printer it does lack certain features such as an RJ45 port for connecting to a hub/router (only has USB) and higher DPI output, but that aside I highly recommend this printer to everyone.

Summary: A great low budget printer perfect for homes and small offices!
