We got a Brother DCP-7065DN back in 2012… bought it for the cheaper ink cartridges and simplicity of use… LOVE IT.
When it tells us the toner needs to be changed we pull the cartridge and shake it up and it prints another month – for a while two years ago it told us we needed a new drum – we bought one and kept printing for over a year before actually replacing it – did it myself in about two minutes.
The used ones are selling on Amazon for $450. so that is a reference as to their reliability.
All those years and he has never had a coffee table
