I want to replace my Epson inkjet.
Can't say I blame you - I got fed up and dumped mine several years ago in favour of a Samsung C430W and I am soooo glad I did! I plug it in when I want to print, I print, I unplug it.
And it works first time, every time. In the couple of years I've had it it's still (mostly) on the original toner cartridges (I replaced Black and Yellow when they ran out) but the ones they ship with printers are very low capacity anyway - the replacements hold a load more toner!
Yes, toner is expensive - but its cheaper than throwing away all the inkjet cartridges every few months because I want to print and they have dried out ...
I can't speak for the Brother one, but my Samsung has been brilliant - go for colour rather than mono - even if you don;t print colour often, it's handy to be able to.
Check the replacement cartridge cost before you buy - remember, if the machine is cheap they will be expecting to make up big time on the consumables - and also look for the paper weight it can take. This is measured in
gsm
(Grams per Square Meter) and the higher the number the "stiffer" the paper. being able to print on 220gsm or higher means I can print Christmas / Birthday cards myself, which is a nice touch.
