Hi, I hate my HP, so so much and I need a new one.

I went with Brother printers since they are apperently immortal and I've only heard good things about them.

Some features that are important to me are:

• be a laser printer

• solid B&W printing

• have a scanner

• wireless connectivity

The MFC-L2835DW seems like a good choice but is quite expensive for me, being a lowly college student with not many funds to my name.

So I wanted to check if maybe someone has a cheaper alternative.

Thanks in advance :)

I previously owned a Canon Pixma printer, and tired of issues with it. Finally trashing it and making the switch. After going through numerous posts on Reddit, I've finally decided for a Brother Monochrome laser printer, because:

• I want a BIFL printer - that's why Brother

• I am okay with Monochrome (although Color would have been good) - but heard Monochrome has less issues as it's not overly complicated mechanicals. I can live with Monochrome.

• Going Laser since I'll only be printing once in a while - for home use purpose. It may sit idle for a few weeks, before I have a need to print

I have shortlisted a few, and would like this community's help to finalize. Here are my needs:

• Duplex Printing required - can live with Monochrome

• Color/B&W Scanning (duplex is good-to-have and optional; ADF is optional as well) - mostly flatbed would do. Brother HL-L2460W ruled out, since it lacks scanning.

• Copy - duplex optional

• Fax not required (but don't mind if its included in my budget of $250)

• Touchscreen interface preferred 'cuz its convenient

Based on all this, I have the following on my shortlist:

• Brother HL-L2480DW - this checks all the boxes and is my preferred one. $220 on Amazon

• Brother DCP-L2640DW - $200 on Amazon. But why is DCP-L2640DW more popular than HL-L2480DW and less priced ($20 less) even though it has ADF? Does that mean HL-L2480DW is higher quality even though it lacks ADF and hence higher priced? I know this has a 2-line LCD rather than 2.7" touchscreen.

• Brother MFC-L2807DW at Costco priced at $250 - Is this printer better than HL L2480DW? How is it different from DCP-L2640DW, considering a $50 price difference? Considering its only $30 more than HL-L2480DW, I don't mind going for it if it's much better, esp. cuz I'll get the ADF as a bonus when I need it. I am being more and more inclined to this one, since I get ADF, as well as the peace of mind for it being from Costco (Returns-wise should anything happen). I couldn't find a direct comparison anywhere comparing HL-L2480DW and MFC-L2807DW.

• Brother MFC-L2820DW - This is priced at $250 on Amazon as well. But, what's the difference when compared to DCP-L2640DW and Costco MFC-L2807DW?

I'll go with anything that's higher quality for home use lasting me many years, don't mind paying the premium. Many thanks in advance for your inputs. :)
