Brother MFC-J1010DW Wireless Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer with Mobile Device and Duplex Printing, Refresh Subscription and Works with Alexa

Works well, easy setup & use, WiFi & USB connections
I’ve had this printer for about a month. So far so good. The setup process was super easy and probably only took about 15-20 mins max. It works great and I had no issues connecting via WiFi. I like that it has a USB connection option – which many don’t – in case I have issues in the future with WiFi printing. While there are a lot of buttons on the printer itself leading to an over complicated interface, it’s actually very easy to use. The print quality has also been great so far. It prints colors nicely though I mainly use for black and white. Knock on wood, I’ve also had no error messages. While it’s obviously not for big jobs, it prints pretty quickly all things considered.While I can’t speak to its longevity given the limited time I’ve owned it, I will note that the printer tray is not made out of the most durable plastic. I accidentally damaged the tray during set up when a tiny little plastic piece (the hinge) broke off, so now the tray doesn’t extend all the way out. This was not because it was hard to install the tray, rather I was just being careless and bent it in the wrong direction like an idiot. Fortunately, it has not caused any issues with printing.Overall, this printer has done its job well so far and provides good value considering the price point. If you searching for a home office printer and getting sick of reading way too many reviews that led me to believe they all sucked, then I would recommend ending your search and getting this one.

This printer is a real bargain.
This printer arrived overnight and I set it up before breakfast the next day. Followed the instructions and the whole setup process took about thirty minutes. I loaded some paper, plugged it in, and then inserted the ink cartridges. They were pretty easy to install and afterwards, the printer did the rest and soon a test sheet was printed. Setting up Wi-Fi was easy, too. I went online and connected it to my iMac, then set up my iPhone with the app so I can print from there, too. The machine is fairly compact and fits in my cabinet nicely with room to spare. Paper is loaded from the front and prints are received from the front, except when you use the scanner or top load your originals. Overall, it’s pretty well designed. Bought an extra set of ink cartridges, too. You can sign-up for a subscription service for your ink cartridges to be delivered if you want. Brother will monitor your usage and send them accordingly. We might try that later. Ink jet printers are supposed to be used at least once a week to prevent the ink heads from clogging up. Print quality is superb so far. Highly recommend this printer.

Be prepared to wait on ink
Updated: Since writing this review, I have written to support at brother three times about the slow ink deliveries. They are spectacularly unhelpful, and send boilerplate messages barely addressing my concern. I thought OK I’ll upgrade to the higher level, Maybe they’ll send out ink faster if they see I’m paying 25 a month for the elite tier of pages… Nope! You will still have to wait. I average 2 to 3 days with no ink in the printer, waiting on ink to arrive, and generally speaking I always have a print job halfway done that has failed because of ink running out. I’m downgrading this review to one star because of the EZ subscription service, which is anything but easy or effective.________I bought the device intending to print anywhere from 100-500 pages in color a month. The quality of the output on the device is fine. There’s no arguing the ink subscription service is a financial savings versus buying your own expensive cartridges. But in my experience already three times this month, I have run out of ink midway through a color print job, to be reassured by the app, “ink’s already been ordered” cheerfully, but then have to wait 3-4 days additional for the ink that supposedly “will arrive before you need it” to arrive. Simply put that’s not acceptable for a printer intended for regular usage, especially for color printing. I opted for a higher level subscription because I expect to print that many pages a month…but my $10 a month for ink isn’t such a great deal when you’re left with a print job half finished and have to wait days to continue it. Be aware if you are going to opt for a higher level of subscription because you intend to actually the device regularly, the ink service is going to lag and be very, very annoying. Also be aware that unless you print in Draft quality at all times, this is going to continue to be the case, because they don’t ship faster ink to you just because you opt to print in OK or Best quality. If your printer loses power, be assured that you will likely lose authentication with the subscription service, and re-enabling it is a chore. I haven’t faxed with it (who does?) but scanning and photocopying while working OK, also fail to work if one of your color inks is empty. Supposedly you can continue to copy and scan in B&W while you wait for the “E-Z” refill to finally show up….but in reality, error messages on the device display scream at you to replace the ink, and won’t go away for you to access the copy/scan panel. SO the only way you can use it such circumstances is to initiate a scan via the PC or iOS app, you can’t do it from the device itself while it is in crybaby mode. Finally, there’s an issue with the buffer built into this device. The device claims to have a memory built in, but it’s paltry. If you print a large print job and your PC print app assures you it sent the whole thing to the printer…it doesn’t. The print only accepts some of it. If you dare to print a large job overnight, rest assure come morning it will have stopped after about ten pages in halfway through a page, losing the rest of the print job. You really do have to sit there and make sure your PC doesn’t go to sleep until the entire print job is completely executed, or this happens repeatedly. The printer is fairly slow on color jobs, which means if you want to, say, print a 100-200 page doc, you really do need to do it at a time you’re going to be able to sit there for hours making sure the PC doesn’t go to sleep. Cannot recommend.

Excelente calidad de impresión, además el poder imprimir desde el celular es de gran ayuda y facilita muchas cosas, al igual que al escanear documentos los pueda mandar de igual manera al celular

Fue fácil de instalar y muy rápida para imprimir, solo hay que bajar los controladores para empezar a utilizarla de manera intuitiva aunque es un problema encontrar los cartuchos de color y negro es costoso, claro que imprime muy bonito pero… Como conseguir los cartuchos originales que cuesten menos que la misma impresora? No se vale que vendan un producto y luego no se consigan los insumos y de haberlos que el costo sea mayor a la misma impresora
