Quiet and effective
I haven’t had much time to do a lot of the features but the ones I have done work great. At first I had trouble with the automatic feature, it would cause my dogs to bark and wake me up. Now I have it set better. The print quality is great and I love how quiet and fast it is.

Good Printer
This printer has many good features plus it is quite user friendly, especially through wi-fi connection. Only drawback is its need to process software updates from time to time and seems that it will automatically update without the machine being turned on.

paper feed erratic
The paper feed is "moody." Sometimes the paper comes through with no printing. While there are choices on what kinds of paper - glossy, plain it doesn't seem to make a difference. So I only load one sheet at a time or it gets messed up.

My Brother printer starts right up, copies in seconds, is quiet and high quality black and white and color prints. The printer is the perfect size for my desk. It was easy to install on my computer and the instructions for coping, printing and scanning are a breeze to follow. Wish I would have know about the printer a long time ago.

Good value
I purchased it on sale, so it was a great value. Of course, the printer isn't the greatest cost, ink is. The print quality is decent. The spend is reasonably good given the price point of the printer. I only have a complaint about the wireless connectivity, but that is a problem with almost any wireless printer, so not sure that's worth complaining about; if you are a computer/tech savvy person you can handle the wireless connectivity issue. Ultimately, I recommend the printer as a value, but you can probably find other good value competitors ...

Good features for the price.
Happy with my mfc-j497dw office printer. Document print quality is good. Scan and copies fine, especially for the price. The printer body is lightweight, of lightweight plastic construction. However photo quality is a problem. Colors and quality is fine, but rollers leave a streak down the length of photos making them unuseable.

Multiple Uses
I love that the unit is wireless and that I can print from anywhere in my house with my laptop. The instructions are relatively easy to understand and follow, even for someone that is not terribly tech savvy. The fact that I can scan, make copies and print, all from this one compact machine, saves space and provides all of the practical uses together.

Latest Brother Printer
I have owned many Brother printers through the years, and I own 3 now. This is my least favorite. It will print a time or two and then tell me there is a paper jam. There is NO paper jam. I have encountered enough paper jams to know what a real paper jam is. I have to unplug it and plug it back in. Glad I bought the protection because my experience with Brother support has not been good. Don't even bother to contact them if it is out of warranty. Even when the product is still in warranty, they have NEVER been able to help me. Tough luck lady. We don't handle that.

No Longer A HP Girl
Everytime I needed a new printer, I would also go straight to HP. But, my last HP printer gave me SO much problems I decided to look at other brands. I already love my Brother label maker ( I have 2! I checked out the Brother printers. I saw great reviews on Amazon on the model I now have so I bought it and was instantly converted to a Brother printer girl.
Since I've been using this printer I had no jams, no stalls, NO problems. And the ink is cheaper! No Regrets.

Works well for the price.
I have used it for three months, and I have no major problems with it. It replace a HP that started to have paper feed problems after eight years. This new Brother has had a few problems, mostly due to my learning curve. The duplex printing works well, except it takes time, it is the slowest printer I have used for printing duplex. But fast enough for me.
The screen says I am two-thirds down on black ink, on the original black cartridge, based on Consumer Reports, the expanded replacement cartridge should last me over an year.

Difficult at Best
The best feature is it is small in size. Print size is small. Directions to operate are poor. When the phone rang the caller got a fax sound. Had to disconnect the fax. Scanning is very difficult. Doesn’t seem to recognize the computer although it does when you wirelessly print. Paper tray is small. Would not buy another brother product

Barely Works
I have only had my device a few months and I have only been able to make a few copies. The machine constantly looses the wifi connection or no spooler connection.

Terrific all-in-one @ great price!
This works great in all features, except fax, which is on me, cause I just can't figure out how to wire it up.
Color quality is amazing! I had to make a copy of my Very Old birth certificate, and you could Not tell the difference without picking them up!
An additional plus, for me, is it holds over 100sheets of paper in the drawer, AND in the auto-feed!
My only complaint, as with every all-in-one I've ever had, is that 1) if your colors run low, you can't just print in black, & 2) WHY can't you scan when you're out of ink??? It doesn't Use any ink to scan!!

All the features of a high-end printer!
Had purchased one for a replacement printer. It had all the features I was looking for - wireless, auto double-sided print, top-loading for faxing small footprint and was low priced. Liked it so much I purchased a second one for $10 less than the first one for a different location. Withheld one star because of the loud 'kerchunk' when it wakes up and starts printing. After it starts printing, it becomes pretty quiet. Would buy again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend as a good value for the bucks.

Easy to use with great features!
I really like this printer/copier/fax/scanner. I don't need to turn on the computer in order to fax documents like I had to with my old printer. The wireless printing is a great feature. It makes printing really easy. For the low cost of this printer, it does everything I need. It was money well spent and I'm glad I chose this product. Also, the cost for the ink is a lot less than other brands.

Good for home use
For the price, this is a good printer. I only use it for minor print jobs at home. Not sure if it would be great for heavy use. The paper supply is smaller than normal, but again, fine for me. The only issue I have is that every so often it says there is a paper jam - but there is not and I have to go through the paper jam process a few times and usually have to unplug it and then go through the process a few more times. A big pain at the time and makes me want to take it back but then it fixes itself and all is good in the world again!

Love everything about this printer
I have had a few printers over the years. Some small some large enough that I had a issue with moving it myself. This printer is doable for me. I needed to print a lot of legal papers, and I love to cook, so I printed recipes. I can't believe how long the toner has lasted. And last, I love the wireless feature.

As far a unite, it’s great, I've had Brother machines for over 18 years now, and find they work very well, reliable., but, I feel ink cartridges are a little too pricey, they are cheaper in the stores than online.

Can't just make a copy!
I didn't think i needed to research that you can't just make a copy on this machine. You have to save the image and print from another device. Although it has a copy button, it prompts you to save the image. Print and scan quality is very good.

Slow and many times doesn't print
We bought this printer in hopes that it would have seamless wireless printing. Both my husband and myself have had nothing but challenges with printing from our computers. It prints well from our phones, but when we want to print from our computers it takes a minimum of 10 minutes and we usually have to cancel the printing and start over before it registers. Sometimes in never registers and I have to email my document to my phone to print it out. I wouldn't recommend this printer.

Scanning set up is next to impossible
I just purchased this--my second brother MFC device over the past 10 years. My other printer scan function became inoperative. I have literally spent hours over the past three days downloading printer/scanner software for my MAC Book Pro to no avail in getting the device to recognize the PC. I have gone through all of the trouble shooting tips, done them and still resolution to getting the printer to recognize the PC for scanning. Life should not be this difficult. Anyone with a good tip to solve? The documentation does not solve it.

I bought this after a Canon wireless printer failed to be compatible for wireless printing with my BRAND NEW laptop. I actually had success connecting this printer wirelessly, however come to find out it is NOT compatible for printing on anything other than plain paper. I needed it to print shipping labels on an Avery 8126 template and now I have to buy a THIRD printer to try and get a product that meets all my needs. If anyone finds a RELIABLE printer brand that doesn't sneakily skimp on basic functionality, please let me know because I am exhausted from trying to find a decent product.

Low-Cost Ink Cartridges
The per-page cost of printing with these low-cost genuine cartridges is what attracted me to this model the most. I had an HP printer and the cartridges were costly. I tried know-off brand cartridges and HP had logic in the printer that made them difficult to use. It would basically not allow it to be used. Good-bye HP!
This printer isn't the fastest, but it's reliable.

Best little printer!
I had had a Brother printer a few yrs ago and it worked great until--I ruined it when some discount ink leaked into it and destroyed it. Never thought that could happen. So I bought another brand. Not happy with that one. Went back and exchanged it for another Brother- this one, and am so pleased. Brothers are the best brand I have found and I have owned several brands before them. They are relatively quiet, easy to use (checked all the Best Buy ones out and this was the easiest, easy to replace ink and paper. Pls keep up your quality standards, Brother, as many companies are NOT! Thanks.

Good and bad
The printer does print well but it doesnt work well with wireless. To keep it from going offline all the time I had to use a cable to plug it into computer. Seems fine now although it considers itself a fax instead of a printer. Not sure why since I’m not using it as a fax and don’t have a phone line connected to it.

Very nice printer. Prints very clear crisp pages. Colors are very nice. A little slower than other printers we've had, but it's great for the price. Very user friendly and easy to set up. Would definitely recommend.

Great printer
I like this printer. It prints quickly and clearly. I like the fact that it is compact fairly quiet and attractive looking.The cartridges are easy to load. The only thing I could do without is the fax machine. I didn't really realize it had one on it when I ordered. I will never use that part of it.

photo scanner was horrible
I purchased this product and went online to download the print drivers directly from the Brother site. I tested everything the day we got it and noticed the scanned images didn't look right, I decided to play with it on another day. When I finally got back around to trying to scan something (about 2 weeks later) nothing I did in any settings or any scanning program made a difference the images were dark, and very poor looking. I called brother and was told that there was nothing wrong with my machine that was just the quality of the product they sell. I haven't had any problems with printing from this machine and the ink has been ok. I did try to fax something and it was hard to tell when it was actually sending the fax, it wasn't very communicative (no dial sounds or fax tones, nothing on the screen saying dialing) but it appeared that it went through.

My opinion - Hard to Beat for Price
With cost of ink, I have nearly reached point of buyin a new printer rather than refills - actually, that's kind of how I came to own my MFC-J497DW. I had a relatively new smaller Epson which had replaced a larger Work Force Epson we'd had for a few years. The newer one was fine for a while, except for constant automatic adjustments - noisy and ink eating. Then it developed a smearing issue that was not major, but irritating. So after less than a year, the Broother replaced it. What a difference, works great, prints clean, quiet and seems to use much less ink at a price less that the smaller Epson. I really have no complaints at all. I doubt there's anything as efficient at anything near the price.

I've upgraded to a Brother printer
I bought a Brother MFC-J497DW wireless printer/copy/fax machine about1 month ago. I had an older HP printer that had very expensive ink cartridges. The Brother replacement ink is probably 1/3 the cost, the quality is 10 times that of the HP and the Brother is wirerless! When I was pricing the printers the Brother was as cheap as any other HP I could find. Love the Brother printer. I definitely upgraded.

I'm not a frequent Printer user. I probably only print, or scan about 1 page per week.
Other printers that I have had seem to just dry up, or get plugged up, if not used frequently.
My new Brother Printer seems to be different, and I have had beautiful prints, anytime I need it to work, My new Brother printer was easy to set-up, and seems to be performing flawlessly.
I highly recommend Brother printers..

Love this printer!
We needed an inexpensive home printer for general printing such as important documents and our son’s school work. For two days I researched printers and watched videos to decide on one. We originally planned on purchasing an HP due to their ink replacement program. Went to our local BestBuy to purchase it and saw this printer on the shelf. We loved how the compact squarish design and front panel looked so we powered it on and printed a test page. The HP was not plugged in so we couldn’t test it out. It had negative comments on reviews about how loud it was. This Brother printer is one of the quietest ones we’ve found which is a big plus to us. We decided to purchase it instead and we are very happy we did. Setup took about 30 minutes from unboxing to fully up and running including Brother software on the computer and the Brother iPrint&Scan app on our iPhones. Printing is flawless from both the computer and phones. The print speed is plenty fast for our needs and quality seems very good. We haven’t experienced any paper jams using inexpensive plain paper. Our internet speed is 150mbs with a tri-band router and wireless connectivity is working perfect. I connected it to our 2.4ghz band because we use the printer in a spare bedroom that is a good distance away from the router. We tested all the functions of the printer except faxing as we do not have home phone service and everything works perfect. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to go with this printer over our original choice. We definitely recommend purchasing this printer!

I purchased my Brother MFC-J497DW several months ago. I really enjoy it. To begin with, setting up the unit was a hassle-free effort. The unit's instructions were easy to follow. At this time, I'm just printing documents. The unit is reliable and responsive. It never fails me. It's speed is fine, and the copies are of good quality.

I bought this printer just to print out school documents, and it's a pretty great casual printer. While it isn't as mighty as the printers throughout my school, it's great for someone who doesn't need to use a printer/scanner/copier/fax all the time. It starts up a bit noisily, though. Wouldn't reccommend for all-nighters.

Missing many of HP Features
I have a Brother MFC-J497DW. I have always had HP printers before and miss many of their features that are very helpful, easy to use, and produce quality output.
Possibly I have not been able to determine how to do the following despite looking through the manual and also using your Utilities. If these functions are truly not available, I am very disappointed not to have them.
- No easy way to Cancel printing without going to Tools/Devices/ … and canceling out of print queue. Should be a cancel button on printer or a way to pause printing while one goes through the process of cancelling out of queue.
- No way to adjust intensity of copy in order to either make the print darker & more readable or to lessen the intensity to lighten a background as when copying newsprint.
- Scan quality is poor. No way to look at the resultant scan on the monitor and adjust intensity and/or brightness.
Also – I do not have or want FAX capabilities, but I’m often locked out of using the printer because there’s a message that it’s receiving data. Is there any way to disable the FAX functions or to easily cancel out of receiving?
Thank you for your interest in user feed-back.

Enjoying this machine
My brother copier/printer does a really good job. The only thing I do not like about it is the sound it makes when it starts printing and the paper is released into the machine. It makes a sounds as if it takes a tremendous amount of energy to get the paper to move. At first I thought it was broken, but it always makes the same sound and it has always worked.

Exactly What I Wanted
I needed a printer only for personal use to replace an Epson I'd had for several years but had given up the ghost. Reviews of this model persuaded me to purchase it and I'm delighted that I did. If you're looking for a speed demon printer, look elsewhere. But this one, besides being compact and seeming to go easy on ink usage, has an auto document feeder and does two-sided printing. Big bonus for me as my late Epson did neither. Finally, printers that cost considerably more didn't all have adf and duplexing. Completely satisfied all around.

I'm very happy with the new one. It may last even longer because I don't use it as often as I had the old one, which got used a lot before I retired.

Our Brother MFC-J497DW printer is of good quality and reliable - We like the ease of use and find it consistent with other Brother printers we've had over the years. It has been a challenge to program such features as scanning via the web and to connect to our two laptops, one an Apple Mac Air and the other a Dell Laptop - it can be frustrating, but we manage to make it work.

I like the printer. It is very easy to use once set up and has worked well. I like the 2-sided printing feature and the quality of printed text. It scans very well, but it is awkward/nonintuitive how you change the options. Setting it up to work on WiFi was not clear -- it took some trial and error. It also was not clear to use the built-in Apple system app or to use the downloaded Brother app. It would definitely benefit from clearer set-up and usage instructions.

This is my second Brother printer - both wireless. The first, a laser printer, suffered failure of the wireless feature after several years of service. Thankfully, this printer has proven more reliable in that respect. In addition, the scanner function works flawlessly. I would certainly have given it a five except the color is incorrect when printing photographs.

Worst printer ever
We purchased this printer at the end of May and after installation, it was not working properly. It would print maybe one request in five and sometimes it just never printed. We tried everything and finally today returned it to the store. Thankfully they are a reputable dealer and allowed the return after more than 30 days.

can't get it to work correctly
I can copy pages just fine but I can not get the printer to print! It just sits there like it is spooling and never prints the page. I wish it would have come with a cord to direct connect to my laptop because as it sits right now it it pretty worthless. I tried to contact customer service and all I got in response was a link to the site which I had already tried troubleshooting from. It was no help at all.

The Scan and Web feature are too complicated
Although I like the printer in general for copying, as a non-techie the directions for using the Web and Scan functions are way too complicated, i.e. they're not intuitive. The other feature which I absolutely abhor is the ability to connect the printer directly to my laptop. Brother did not supply the plug or even provide directions on which type is necessary to use this feature, plus the plug-in location to be able to use it is user unfriendly. Poor design.

Worst Brother Printer I've Had
I've had 10 Brother printers that I loved but I really dislike this one. It uses more ink that any other I've had. It prints too slow even in the fast setting. Entering the wifi code is the most convoluted thing I've seen. The settings are also difficult to access. The screen is way too small, but I should have checked that. I can't wait until this one breaks, but if it's like my other Brother printers, it lasts a good long time. Just disappointed in this one.

Ink Scamm
I have had this printer for only 6 months now and have had to replace the ink 3 times with VERY minimal usage. I just replaced the cartridge and decided to weigh it versus a new one....well, the difference between a "Full" and "Empty" cartridge in only 3 grams!!
3 grams of ink....Really Brother. I can actually hear the ink inside and if I did not have a digital scale you could not even feel the difference. Without a doubt I Brother is SCAMMING users on bogus "out of ink" notifications.

The printer makes nice copies but the black ink clogged badly less than 3 months after I received it. I only print a copy or two each day so it shouldn’t have given me trouble so soon. Fortunately, I was able to clear it after several tries by following directions on the FAQ page.

Second time is a charm!
I bought a factory reconditioned MFC-J497DW in May 2020 from a national online dealer, and the unit was not supplied with a one of the starter ink cartridges. Without a starter ink cartridge, you're "dead in the water," as the unit will not work with a normal ink cartridge in its place. I contacted Brother support, and they promised to send a replacement, and correct, starter cartridge. As of late July 2020, I had not received it, so I sent the unit to the local recycling facility! Then, I purchased a new MFC-J497DW, and it's worked fine since installation in late July. Last week, the 2nd week of August 2020, I received the starter ink cartridge from Brother for the first purchase of the factory reconditioned unit. A bit late however, as the first unit is long gone!

I read reviews and I agree that this 4 in 1 is easy to setup, simple to use, prints quickly enough, goes to reduced power quickly as well. Ink replacement is super easy and I can buy ink as I need because monthly would be far too much for my needs. The thought of my machine locking or an automatic replacement isn't for me but some may like it. The machine itself -- I give it a 97 because I haven't used the fax feature yet.

Some Issues
This printer is great when it works but we have had some issues. Recently I wanted to scan a document, It seemingly won't print or scan without a firmware update, and it won't complete the firmware update until we replace one of the ink cartridges, meaning it is now a useless brick until I can find time to replace an ink cartridge, even though the scanner doesn't require ink... It also won't print in black and white unless you have purchased all the colour cartridges as well, even though we only really ever need to print in black and white. We have also run into issues printing over Wi-Fi, and have had to reconnect it a few times. A few disappointments and has not been the easiest experience.

I wouldn't wish this printer on my worst enemy
I gave it one star because I couldn't give it 0 stars. I have had this printer or over a year and every time I try to use it there is an issue. I have been trying to cancel a print job for over an hour and it won't cancel. It will not let me print in black and white because the yellow cartridge is empty.
There is absolutely nothing good about this machine. Save you money and buy anything but Brother.

Great bang for your buck!
I purchased this all in one after reading some online reviews. It seemed to be a solid unit for most users. I also liked the fact that the replacement ink cartridges weren't going to cost me an arm and a leg. Once I did purchase it, set up was a breeze. The small lcd screen is actually quite useful. The printing process is pretty smooth and prompt. I like the fact that is has an overhead feeder as well as the use of the glass to copy or fax documents. I really like the design and it doesn't appear to be as noisy as other all in ones that I've previously owned. It is a very user-friendly all in one. I previously owned other brand name all in ones, but after learning about Brother, I will be sticking with Brother.

WiFi Issues
Do your homework before purchasing. This is not a plug and play printer when using the WiFi feature. The network connection tool was no help. It advises changing a router setting that doesn’t exist when logging directly into the modem. Very frustrated being bounced from ISP, to router manufacturer, to printer customer service without any solution. The only WiFi printing currently working is by using my Google Drive.

I was a new owner of a Brother printer MFC-J497DW. I purchased it for the low cost of ink. I am keeping track. It is very easy to change the ink.I do wish there was only 1 unit for color vs 3 separate units. No big deal. I am happy I had Best Buy set it up. It took them over 2 hours to set up. I still had to fiddle with it to work the next morning. It was helpful to have information available through the website.

I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. i was worried that it would be complicated to wirelessly print because i have never done that before, but the instructions i found were so easy to follow and i was able to print so easily, i wish i had this type of printer before. the printouts come out very nice and clear, none of that smudging. Works way better then my old printer. i have no doubts about trying to print from my phone or ipad in the future

I bought this printer for it's functions, I have owned Brother for years adn this printer is another reason why I buy Brother products.

Works great
This is a wireless, all-in-one, color, ink jet printer with a compact form factor. It was easy to set up - including what looked like either a complete download or a major upgrade of operating software and some new firmware. It produces crisp color and black and white copies regardless of the source. It has a quirky "Copy" function that places the copy on my PC - which I then print on the printer. But maybe that is just me not doing something correctly. I'll have to look on Brother's site or maybe You Tube for tutorials. Otherwise, it works great. You might want to buy a set of colored ink when you buy the printer. Because the initial set goes pretty quickly. And one final note; print something with color a couple times a month otherwise the ink tends to get viscous.

The printer does everything I need it to do. The only bad points are the number of pages the ink cartridges will print - it goes through ink very rapidly and the speed at which the printer actually prints a page - it is rather slow. However, I am very pleased about the duplex printing ( which saves on paper and the ability to print different size paper ( i.e.4x6 paper.)

Great Printer
For a fairly inexpensive printer this is a great product. There are other printers that are faster but they also cost more. This has all the features you need in an in expensive package, good capacity paper drawer, Flatbed Scanner, Wireless and Wired connection, and it's Fax capable. Changing the ink is by far the easiest I have ever experienced, no lifting the scanner or tight access locations, a simple door on the right and there are the ink cartridges. The small LCD screen tells you the ink capacity along with the software so you always know if you are running low. I have never had a more pleasant experience with a printer both setting it up and using it. The software also doesn't install a lot of bloatware. It takes up slightly more space than my old printer but it also works better. The Ink is also less expensive than what I was paying for my old printer, which is great if you print a lot.

Easy to use
For the price, it is wonderful machine. It prints slowly but I don't mind because the printer is only for home use. The scanning is great and the instructions for operating the system is easy. I have never had a wireless printer before and I like it.

Average printer. Slow to print. After being in deep sleep, printer goes offline. I've had to reinstall the software several times. Complicated to follow the online instructions to correct the offline problem. Why not just fix the printer going offline problem in the first place? And per Brother you can't set the printer so it doesn't go into deep sleep.

Inexpensive to Own and Operate
I already had one of these at home and when the old Canon printer in our RV died I bought another one of these to replace it. I especially like the FAX feature as I still deal with a business occasionally where FAX is the most efficient means of communications. I also like the fact that the ink cartridges can be replaced individually.

Great for home
Great small footprint printer for home use. Lots of features when some special printing is required. Setup was difficult and confusing at times and was the most frustrating peripheral setup I have experienced in years. Be prepared to set aside well over 60 minutes to get it accomplished. Foreign accent of support person did not help to expedite it. Once you get through it you will love it.

FAST- the printing is fast! It comes out clear and the color is excellent.I love that it is wireless as I can print from my phone from anywhere in the house.CONS:None so far!

Good printer
I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This is a good printer for home use. Set up was easy, I didn`t have any issues connecting to WiFi. The replacement ink is a better price than most other printers which is great. The quality is fine on both printing and copying. The only drawback is that it prints very slow. This is not an issue for me as I don`t do a lot of printing, but if you print many pages at a time it would get tedious. Overall I`d say this is a good printer for people who just need to print a few pages here and there.

Brother Wireless Color Inkjet Printer
I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. The setup of the Brother Wireless Color Inkjet Printer is fairly simple as well as the assembly. Instructions are easy to follow and troubleshooting was easy. The printer does have different color ink cartridges which is environmental friendly since some colors are used faster than others and avoids waste. One of my favorite features is the ability to wirelessly print from my phone, something very important in today`s world. The display is also very simple all the buttons are self-explanatory. The quality of printing seems about average, there were a few streaks in some of my documents. The sharpness in the quality could be improved. But for the cost of the printer you get the most bang for your buck.

Walked into store and item was featured as sale item. Just looking for a cheap printer with bare bones features, then I saw this one. Lots and lots for the money, so I bought this one. Took it home and had an easy set up that worked flawlessly with my network my cell and my wired connection. Then, Brother forced the printer to upgrade. Now nothing works but a cable connection. Done some searching on the net and found out others were having the same issues. So, I deleted everything and found an older software version and now things work better. Cell phone still not quite right but better.
Now, I can't get what I need off the app site cause google says I need an account! Boo, hiss. If I wanted a google account I wound have signed up for one. Don't hold me and my brother printer hostage!

Gone are the days of struggling to print documents from my phone, just click print and it`s good to go! Set up couldn`t have been easier, it took less than 15 minutes from start to finish. The picture is so clear, colors are vivid and black is nice and dark. The printer performs wonderfully, give you multiple prints at a fast rate. The fax and scanner is very simple to use and the documents looks great when through. Over all I am very impressed!

All in one printer review
I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. While testing out the brothers all in one printer, I`ve utilized every function it has. One thing I like the most about this printer is, compared to other brands when you`d have to lift the scanner to install the ink, this particular brothers printer had the ink cartridges in front of the printer which made it pretty easy to install. This product prints very good colored images without streaks or missing colors as opposed to some brands that leaves color images without all of its color. Setting up the product was very simple and the instructions on how to do so were clear and easy to understand. Coming from a brand I haven`t heard of I expected the quality of printing to be inadequate but I was completely shocked by how great the prints turned out. One thing I would suggest improving is the wireless printing from your phone. It`s a hassle to have to download an app on your phone just to print, while other brands have built in WiFi on the printer, and all you have to do is connect to your printers WiFi and print whatever you need without an app. Overall, it`s a pretty good printer. Works well, very light weight and simple to use.

Inexpensive, and good results.
This all-in-one works well, and is supported by drivers and apps that seem pretty solid.
I had used Epson in the past, but their draconian policies about using refurbished inks was the motivation to try the Brother. I am more than satisfied.
Just a few downsides I've observed. The paper tray is pretty small, and if you do much printing, you'll find yourself filling it often. I've not found out how to do two sided scanning with the APF, and the print speed can be pretty slow.

Ink issues
The printer itself is nice. Great settings on it... but the issue with the ink cartridges and trying to "Scan to File" is why I rated it low. I only use B&W or Greyscale when printing but the different color ink cartridges tend to use the Yellow and Blue when printing as well. Why? I have no idea. So i run out of those 2 colors before i even run out of black and have to keep replacing those colors. It wont print anything unless all the colors have ink in it. I have no idea why the yellow and blue are even being used for B&W printing. Also, the cord that comes with it is so short. It wont even reach my desktop screen to plug it in. So i bought a longer cord only to find out that it is a pain in the rear to scan to file. It still wont do it. ( which is one of the reasons i bought this type of printer.) I am not happy with it and will not buy Brothers again. Yes i did call CS and in order for them to do anything, they want my Wifi Password and remote access to my computer. He said ' if you wont give me this information, then i wont help you". So CS was a waste of time along with the money I wasted on ink and a new wire.When the ink runs out again ( before the black) I will be giving it away and just buying a different brand. The printer is a waste of time.

It's a great home printer, but....
Product descriptions tell what the product does but not what it doesn't do. When I saw that it does duplex printing, I thought it would allow me to do a 2-sided scan of a 2-side document. Not! It does a 2-sided PRINT, but not a 2-sided FEED. So I need to manually make a 2-sided copy from a 2-sided original, which can be a pain, especially if the document is more than a few pages.

Terrible Wi-Fi, won't reconnect.
Any power failure on either this machine or your wi-fi router will result in hours of work to get this thing printing again. You will need to reboot your modem over and over and run you WPS over and over and eventually you will get it working again. Why cant we keep the network ports on these prints and eliminate wi-fi connection all together or have both like we use too. .

Great Combo Printer!
The Brother (MFC-J497DW 3-in-1 printer has all of the functionality that we were looking for in a printer. So far we have used it for printing and scanning purposes but we don't have much of a need for faxing so that part is not currently being used and can't comment on that.
When printing, the pages come out nice and crisp with no smudging. The scanning function works great as you can scan and print or scan an email. It is very nice having those options at your disposal. The app works pretty well allowing you to print from your mobile phone and if course with Wi-Fi you can easily connect to a computer or laptop.
After using this brother printer for about a month now, we are very happy with our purchase and would recommend this printer to anyone looking for a 3-in-1 combo printer.

SO SO
I bought the Brother as a replacement of a different which I had been using for many years. Brother seems to be confusing with printing, can't tell which button to press and how to print photographs. There is no way to tell when it is on or off until you press a button and the screen come on. I am considering going back to the previous brand. There are some other issues but to me these are the more frustrating ones.

I've used earlier models, but this had what I was looking for. I needed a printer that I could use and know it will work. It does that and more.

Great for home use.
A replacement for a previously owned Brother 4 in 1 unit. The previous unit was a USB connected device and a little less complicated to use. Occasionally, the WIFI connection is unable to locate the desktop. That can be a little frustrating. Copies are a nice quality, but a great deal of ink is used. Why I believe that it's good for home use.

This printer is fairly reliable when it is hard wired. It does go through ink at a fair pace, but about middlin compared to other printers. It's tendency to go ff at all hours to clean itself can be annoying, especially at night. Ink prices are high but third party ink can be much cheaper once you find one that is reliable.

Problems with alignment
When printing two-sided documents the first few lines do not print on the page. There has also been issues with it cutting off some of the left most characters on a document. Maybe a simple alignment fix, but this is my initial experience with this printer.

From Best to Worst!!
I previously owned a Brother MFC-J475DW All-in-One Printer, which was the best home printer I've ever owned. It produced quality prints, with low priced ink cartridges, and the printer had a long life of over 9 years. When it finally gave out, I, of course, purchased another Brother printer, the MFC-J497DW. It has the familiar look, and spec's of my previous printer, with a few new features, and the ink cartridges were affordably priced. It seemed like a no brainer.
The MFC-J497DW All-in-One Printer should have been everything I'd loved in my old Brother printer, but it wasn't. Right out of the box there were issues. I followed the set-up instructions, used the included disc to load the Driver software, which I had done with my previous printer. To my surprise, I couldn't get the scan function to work. I kept getting the same error message on my PC, saying it was unable to find the printer. It seemed strange, especially since I was able to print, from the same PC, without the same error. It didn't make sense. Why was my PC able to find the printer for printing, but not for scanning?? After almost 2 hours, I decided to visit Brother's website for help. I downloaded their printer driver removal tool software, per their instructions, and removed the driver software I'd loaded from the included disc. I decided to reload the driver software from the Brother website, and went through the process again, hoping it would solve the problem, but it didn't. After another couple of hours, and some technical support, I was able to scan. Problem solved, right? Wrong! When I tried to scan again, a few days later, I received the error message, telling me my PC was unable to find the printer. There was also a new problem. Now I couldn't print, for the same reason. Thinking I was just doing something wrong, I backtracked, and reverted back to my old Brother printer, loading the driver for it, and my PC connected to it for printing and scanning, even though the print quality was terrible, which is why I replaced it. To fix the issue with the new printer, I went through the process I'd learned from technical support, and it worked. Unfortunately, when I tried using the printer again, a few days later, I had the same issue, but a new issue, once again, was added to the list. There was now an issue with the print quality, so I printed a test page, and there were several bars missing on the black, and the colors. I ran through the onboard cleaning process, and the problem was fixed. That became a regular occurrence, which made the affordable ink, not so affordable.
After 2 months, I decided to fall back on the warranty, and contacted Brother once again, thinking that they would either repair the printer, or replace it. To my surprise, they informed me that my warranty was expired, even though they had helped me to register the warranty on my initial visit to the website, just 2 months before. I bought the printer new, and opened the box myself. It was was wrapped in plastic, had the protective plastic over the control panel, all of the colored tape the factory used to secure the moving parts, and the factory plug was affixed inside the ink cartridge compartment. Despite all of those things, they didn't change their response, telling me the one year warranty was expired. After a long ordeal, and establishing that I'd registered the product with their help, only 2 months previous, I gave up, and decided that I would have to right the entire purchase, and ordeal off as a loss. My time is worth money, and I had already spent too much of it on the NEW printer.
Instead of purchasing another new Brother printer, which will never happen again, I purchased a Canon PIXMA G6020 Megatank All-in-One Printer. It was comparable in price, to the Brother, but the print quality is considerably better, and the cost of ink is a hundred times more affordable. Based on my LAST experience with Brother, I will never purchase another Brother product. They went from Best to Worst, and for the cost of just one printer, they lost a lifetime of patronage. My hard earned money will never, again, make it to their pockets.

Could have been a little better
At first its been a great printer. Not evil like other manufacturers when it comes to ink usage. Simple set up and connection flexibility via wifi. But after having it for awhile with light to moderate use, its starting to mechanically fail. Its constantly having feeding issues. especially with anything other than standard paper. The option is there for two sided copies but if I choose that it will guarantee a failed print job. I'm also having to do a lot of alignment and color calibrations with it now. Its a shame because this is the first Brother printer I'm having a mediocre experience with.

I talk with several people and no one seem to know how to fix the problem and what’s more they didn’t seem to care. Finally I was told that there was nothing they could do. The printer is still under warranty, but they did not honor it. I thought Brother was suppose to be such a good company.

I have two Brother Printers and and wouldn't have any other kind. I do a lot of printing in my volunteer work. They produce great copies, easy to scan, and the one time in 6 years that I had a problem (I'm not tech savvy) I called them and the very polite and patient representative handled the issue in no time. I recommend Brother to all my friends.

I had a problem
the printer prints too loudly, but the main problem started after automatic cleaning of the print head, it stopped detecting the level of ink in the cartridges (indicates it is very low, but does not see yellow at all) and the problem was solved by replacing one full cartridge (unused that came with the printer) with another additionally ordered for this (since printing was not possible even with black ink, despite the fact that everything was fine with the black cartridge

Ink consumption and toner issues
This printer uses WAY too much ink as I don't print often. Now after replacing the ink cartridges 3 times it is still not printing. It says the toner is low...WTH? It is NOT worth the money I have put into it!!! I can't use it for business so it has become a casual home use printer and about to go in the trash.

Doesn't start test printing as soon as turned on wasting paper like HP printers. Instead it prints only what needs to be printed. Plus point is that I don't have to turn off the printer. If idle for couple minutes it turns off and when it receives a print command it turns on. Love the feature. Prints flawless and clean. It's worth the purchase

I love my Brother MFC-J497DW...when it works. It does everything I need including 2-sided printing, but sometimes it won't print at all, sometimes there is a long delay in printing (days) or many times it won't print until I unplug it and plug it in again (reboot I guess). I'm quite frustrated with it.

No longer happy with Brother
I had a Brother MFC printer for about 8 years. I always used OEM ink and the printer worked wonderfully for 8 years. I started to have printing problems and decided to buy a new MFC-J497DW because I had been so happy with this brand. Little did I know that Brother now makes it impossible to use OEM ink. The printer will not recognize non-Brother ink. At this point, they have lost a customer. I will buy another brand and I will be certain that it does not restrict my ink prior to purchase.

This printer is upsetting!
You can't print at ALL whenever one colour runs out of ink! For example, I can't even print black and white text if I'm out of blue ink. Then, the printer's wifi keeps disconnecting, causing me to reenter all the information again. Half the time, the printer tells me that my wifi password is wrong when I input it correctly. Overall, save your money and your time on a better printer than this one.

Handy wireless printer
Other than the cost of ink cartridges, we like the Brother MFC very much. I would categorize us as low volume users - about 500 sheets per month. Our primary use is printing and copying and we are very satisfied. The double sided printing and the multi-sheet feeder are convenient and work well. An unexpected plus is the "iPrint and Scan" app. It is easy to use and makes wireless printing from a smart phone or tablet a handy asset.

Ink hog
I purchased this printer because the ink jets in my Epson all-in-one printer were clogged and no amount of cleaning would get them unclogged. I didn't expect the starter ink cartridges that came with the printer last very long. I purchased genuine Brother replacement XL cartridges but the yellow cartridge produces far less than the advertised 400+ pages of printed material. I know this is not an expensive printer, but I expected better performance than I am getting from this printer.

Most efficient, clear printer I've owned
I have always purchased lower-priced printers. I have a small business that is paperless. Therefore, I do not have the need to print out huge amounts of documents. However, when I need to print or scan, I need it to be perfect, clean and clear as if it was a very expensive printer. This is the easiest, most comprehensive and effortless printer I've owned. The price is phenomenal for the quality of this machine. I adore wireless printing it has made my life so easy. I love this printer!

Pleasantly surprised!
My regular printer, an HP Officejet died a couple months pass a 2 year warranty. I went to Staples looking for another but only a few printers were available, production was down because of COVID. They had this Brother which I was kind of hesitant to buy but was in a jam. I have a home office and do a lot of printing. Setup was easy, connecting to WiFi was instant. I put it through a couple of big printouts and didn’t have a single problem. I really like this small printer!! I’ll stick with Brother printers from now on. Goodbye HP!

Hate it
I purchased this printer because people wrote in the reviews that it was easy to set up. It was not easy to set up. That is not why I gave it one star. The automatic paper feed does not work. The sensors in the paper tray are BAD. After about 2 or 3 copies I get an error message "clean the pickup rollers" I also get messages "no paper, reload paper" There is paper in the tray. I have to Take the paper tray out and put it back in several times before the contacts sense that there is paper in the tray and the pickup rollers are clean. On the positive side it prints fast and the quality is good.

Just ok
Just ok, in the low budget printer, as such is expected to have issues. The ones bother the most is that when printing double sides there is a tendency for the paper to get stuck. Tried different brands of paper but still the same. Minor issue is how loud it is when printing, but for the price and the rear times that I need to print is ok.

Good Printer
The MFC-J497DW is a good printer for my purpose as a home printer/scanner/fax. It prints very quietly but a little slow. This is not a problem since it is not used for business. Only thing I would improve on would be the keyboard and entry of setup information. It took me a while to get comfortable entering network ID and p/w information.

Not worth the money
This printer started to jam on the second use. A few weeks later it broke completely. Customer service replaced with a refurbished model but failed to disclose that info and it came with a broke ink cartridge that was replaced but at this point all this hassle was not worth the time or money. I’ve had better luck with other Brother printers but this model was too much trouble.

Works fine for an inexpensive printer
Our printer had stopped working as it should. Could print but wavy lines and double printing. Due to virus had trouble even finding one. After about 2 1/2 months started looking everyday for the brother printer I wanted. Just not available. Finally found this one. Purchased within matter of minutes because once before I waited an hour on one and it was sold. This was not quite what I wanted and is basic. Works okay for at home since don’t need to use everyday. Print is good quality. Not as fast as previous brother printer we had. Just glad to have a printer that works as it should.

The print quality shows a lot of skipping--it always looks like it is running out of ink even with a brand new cartridge. I can't get the printer to stay linked to my laptop, and I've had it trouble shot but nothing seems to help.

Poor print quality.
The print quality is poor and after printing around 70 pages they black ink fades away. This is a new printer I bought during the Covid 19 and its not been useful at all. I wonder how many pages can you actually print with these cartridges. Please remember the basic function of buying this equipment is for printing then comes scanning.

Printer Sucks!!!!
As other reviews say it takes a long time for pages to print, but the biggest problem is it constantly disconnects from wireless printing and it won't reconnect. There is absolutely NO SUPPORT from Brother and the directions are awful. Manual says "press GO button 3 times" there is no Go Button on the display. I'm ready to take a sledge hammer to this piece of junk. Huge mistake buying this.

Great value for the money
Set up was mostly easy. Had to accomplish twice to be sure the set up was completed. So far it has been working well though I have not had to fax anything yet. My only complaint is that some printing functions are hard to find due to nomenclature and menu layers. Example, I had to dig to find the correct setting for printing in draft mode. Also, scanning a document to a PDF took a little digging as well. I am sure I will learn where to find stuff as time goes on.

Very poor Instructions, painful to connect to wifi
The printer seems to work fine. I do not use it as often as I would like because it is painful to use. Every time I want to print I have to put my laptop next to the printer and go through the wifi set-up every time I want to print. It will not stay connected, must enter the wifi password every time. I worked with tech support, which took an hour, put on hold many times, and the printer still will not stay connected to the wifi. I should also mention that it took over 2 months to receive my printer after placing my order.

Very good home multi-function machine
I really like the way you change ink cartridges. It is the best system I have ever seen in my experience with numerous ink jet printers over more than 20 years. The printer in general is a very capable unit, however the supplied software is not as user friendly as I would like. I have been using this printer for over six months and despite several attempts have not been able to install the Brother print drivers. I use the driver from Windows 10 and it provides me with sufficient capability.

So far I’ve had the printer about a month with no issues what so ever. The installation and set up process was straight forward with easy wireless printing and scanning. The scanner works very well but one feature that would have been nice would be two sided scanning. The color printing quality has been excellent with no need to add ink yet.

Prints and Scans Well
I've been using the Brother MFC- J497DW printer for several weeks at home now. It was easy to set up direct wifi printing on my Windows 10 system. It even found my network and password quickly. It prints well using the draft mode and is using much less ink than my HP inkjet did. Quill shipped as quick as possible although every retailer, including Quill, has been experiencing a shortage of this popular inexpensive inkjet. I picked this one after years of using HP printers, as a resukt of reading many reviews here and there. The Brother software is user friendly and its auto updates are well done. I also like the easy to install cartridges and the many Youtube how- to videos.

All around great printer
This is an affordable printer that prints from all device in my home from computer to phone. Love the back to back printing that saves on paper. Ink is very affordable. Much cheaper than my last Brother printer. I’ve used Brother for almost 20 years and am extremely satisfied with the products. They never break but I do upgrade and give the old printers away.

Like it, but have issues
Overall, the printer is great, but have an issues with it. Sometimes it says it's offline even though my wifi is working. Always getting error messages, but then it eventually begins to print. Also, it has been in Receiving Mode (do not turn the machine off script scrolling) for days. Can't stop it even though I have shut computer off and when I try to power down the printer it wont let me. It says its busy. Try later. Frustrating

My printer was in storage and I had quite a few documents and copies to make. I needed a compact spare printer that was lightweight. This Brother printer was very affordable. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the prints. I haven’t printed photos with it but it prints documents as well as my regular printer that was 4 times the price. It’s more than perfect for what I need.

SOOO good to have a Brother again!!
Back a few years ago, our house got struck by lightening and we lost out TV, computer, freezer and printer...there were many replacements and a friend got us a a "gift", while we appreciated the deed I missed my Brother immediately, it jammed all the time, would not scan more than 1 sheet at a time and in general not the quality I have gotten spoiled by being a Brother owner-- I recently replaced it with a Brother again and sooo good to be back with my Brother... LOVE IT!!!

Firmware Updates BEWARE
The first 6 months that I owned my Brother printer was fine. The printer was easy enough to sync up to my computer and home wifi and the color print was good. During this time my scan and printing needs were fairly light. The real problem came on the day the Brother Firmware prompted me to update. Basing this update request on the several that I get during a year from my workplace, I had no reason to be suspect. That assumption was WRONG! The firmware update triggered something to go terribly wrong with my brother MFC-J497DW printer. Before the update completed, the printer LED screen went dark and never rebooted; the printer stopped connecting with my laptop and from that moment on I was never able to get the printer to turn back on. After 3 hours, yes 3 hours (1 hour on hold and 2 hours arguing with customer service I was finally able to get a new printer shipped out to me as a replacement (I had to return the defective printer - which was my pleasure. Brother sent the UPS sticker). Now I have a new Brother MFC-J497DW home office printer, but I will not update the firmware when prompted. My expectation is that if I do the printer will once again stop working and since I'm still using the ink cartridges that came with the printer I would hardly be getting my money's worth (its not like I'm wearing my printer out ) and I have no expectation that Brother would replace the unit a second time. So my review is: The printer is a 1-2 star (scan function is fair - print quality good), customer service is a 0-star (yes I got the unit replaced, but it was an all out fight to get it done). I will not purchase another Brother printer.

I have a tiny apartment, and not much space for anything. This printer sits on an end table in my bedroom, next to my tiny antique school desk. It is self contained, does not require space for top to slide when making copies. Honestly - hate the cost for supplies, but it is what is is.

uses too much ink
I used to have a MFC-J775dw. It used a different set of cartridges and gave 6 times as many pages per cartridge as the MFC-J497dw. I had bought the MFC-J775dw because my HP printers used too much ink and cost me way too much money. The MFC-J497dw uses as much ink as the HP did. So I am totally disappointed in it. Although it prints as well as the MFC-J775dw it is just too expensive because of the ink use.

For the last 20 years I have purchased Brother Printers only. From the 295, to the 440, to the 240, all were very good. But now the MFC J497DW is the best ever. Smaller in size but the printing quality is outstanding and the ink is less than on the older models.I bought 3 of them as a gift.

Have not used all the printing features yet except just the printing...that is when it decides to print since its WiFi. That's really my main beef so far. I've had it print as soon as I hit the print button to printing the next day. I am thinking about just buying the cord and hooking up direct to desktop. That's right you have to get the cord yourself printer does not come with one.

I had an upper grade HP for may years. When it stopped copying I went to replace it. The Brother items were all nearly fifty percent less expensive with more features. It took some time get the WiFi connections to my computer, phone and tablet But all work fine. The printed result more than acceptable. I use less than 50 pages per month.

Simple and easy to maintain
I've had this printer since September 2018 and is still holding up against two toddlers. Most of the pieces are made of thin plastic and/or can be popped out. I've had great success glueing the broken parts and popping them back in place ( with the exception of the ink door, which now snaps on and off I'm not sure if this is a normal printer design, but the USB cable port is inside the printer itself and not on the outside of the machine. Make sure to download the drivers. The computer I own doesn't have a disk drive and I just recently got access to internet. So installing the drivers and troubleshooting was iimpossible. Also, when using the Brother app, I reach a login page and I'm not sure what the user and password is. Overall, this is a great at-home printer.

It took a minute to set up and get the scan working, but once I did, I'm really enjoying this printer. Print quality is nice and the ink lasts a decent amount of time. Paper tray is a little small, but that's not a huge issue. I'd recommend this for home use for someone working from home, but maybe not for a large family.

Lousiest printer ever
I bought this printer at the end of April at Staples and was very excited to try a new brand as I always had a Canon printer. Installed initial cartridges. Replaced black ink cartridge. No problem. Went to buy yellow ink as it ran out. Staples ordered the whole color pack at Kiosk. Received it and when I installed error message "cannot detect. We tried all trouble shooting methods that we could. Made another trip to Staples. Useless trip. Money refunded. Will go to another store to try to get the one document printed from a computer. Lots of unnecessary time spent in order to get a printer to do what it is suppose to do-PRINT!

great small printer
it's a very good printer, the thing is I had bought one while living outside the states that had a different electric use. I called to see if I could use it stateside and they didn't have that option. So here in the states, I bought the same one, and weirdly the European one was slightly better in how it worked, connections, the trays were better fitted for both paper and the small collecting tray and it seems to go through ink way faster. So I am not as happy with this American one. but it works.

Returned for MFC-J895DW review is for the *(%
I returned it for the MFC-J895DW. MFCJ895 copies Faster with betterpicture quality and a better warranty. MFC-J497DW is fine for the price but the approximately 40-50 dollar higher price for a better made copi er was worth it. The 895 was Consumer Reports top rated inkjet copier. Brother quality and lifetime consumer support is why I buy brother.

Overall
So far am real pleased with my new printer. Still have not used all the things that it can do, have not tried the fax sending but eventually will use it I am sure. Have used several different printers in the past and I do like this Brother printer very much.

Just Wonderful so far!
So far I am tickled pink with the printer. Really reasonable price, compact, does double sided, scans and copies and easily connected to all my devices wirelessly. It even has a document feeder! A little slower than other more expensive printers I've owned, but for home use, I can wait a few more seconds!
Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is I have only had it for a few months and haven't used it enough yet. However, I have real high hopes that we will be happy for years!

Superior resolution
Lately I've been using this printer to make large-size photos of all my pets, living and dead, suitable for framing on high-quality photographic-grade paper. The quality is so good that I think they compare favorably with what you would expect from a photo studio. As if that's not enough, it is also quite fast. I would recommend this unit highly. By the way, this is my third Brother printer in the last 20 plus years and they were all a joy to use.

Great Features & Easy To Operate
This is my second Brother Multi-function printer. My previous Brother printer still works but is over 7 years old and showing its age. I had such good luck and dependability with my first Brother printer I wanted to replace with a newer one.. I purchased my previous Brother printer on the recommendation of my Computer Service Person and and that was great advise. My first printed I own was another major brand and it only lasted 3 years. I am sold on the dependability of Brother printers.

Our rather expensive home printer stopped working just before Christmas and we were not in a position to replace it like kind and quality at the time so we settled on this inexpensive Brother thinking we would replace it just after the holidays. We were honestly quite surprised by the quality and efficiency of this fine printer! We no longer are considering replacing it as it does everything our old machine did and we highly recommend thisunit.

Poor Internet Connection
The printer works fine when hard wired, but using it wirelessly is frustrating. The wireless connection to my laptop works fine so far, but the printer will not connect to my desktop. Also, when using your support via a chat was frustrating and unsuccessful. Perhaps you could offer a technical person to answer telephone calls and walk a customer through the process to make the wireless printer work. My reason for buying this printer was to eliminate wires, not add to them.

Replaced a failing printer of 13 years with this one. As with most items it was hard to find a store with inventory but I did find it online at a much better price.
Printer was a easy set up and just as easy wifi set up to laptops and phones. Fast and not to noisy hard copies are achieved without problems or errors.

brother MFC-J497DW
This is an inexpensive printer I bought because I needed a printer and the "better" Brothers were not available. It is OK. The BIG PROBLEM is that it registers a paper jam VERY frequently . . . whether there is a true jam or not! (Maybe every 25 to 30 prints It requires that you follow several steps to clear a jam, again, whether there is a jam or not.
I am sorry now I didn't buy another brand, but I wanted a Brother. At this rate I will soon be in the market for a replacement. (Fortunately it otherwise works well, prints satisfactorily, and the ink cost is favorable.

New brand
This printer has been fantastic! Faster than I am used to and efficient. I found myself with no printer one day and bought this one on a whim. I use it at home and it's been great with one exception: it seems to have issues "forgetting" what it's supposed to do. If I crawl on the floor to unplug it and plug it back in, it seems to regain it's memory. It's totally WIFI so there's no hard wiring it to the computer, which I would prefer. It doesn't unplug from the back of the machine which means I have to crawl on the floor to take care of business. Very annoying. I was able to hard wire it for installation purposes but the lid doesn't close all the way if you leave the cable plugged in. Strange.

Poor little guy tries hard though
It needs quite a bit of improvement, although I don't necessarily think the printer's at fault as much as it is the apps' and the misleading product information page. For example it says duplex printing but what it doesn't say is ONLY PDF duplex, and if you need it to that, and precisely align both sides symmetrically; forget it. Furthermore it says mobile printing, but that's all you might get from it; bare bones printing.Don't expect any extra from the app except for crop, rotate, and resize, and you have to eyeball that hoping you get the size right or have to do it all over again (after you waste paper and ink because there's no way to save it after you edit it.There's only four options for paper type and limited on size too. Another thing I don't like is, from day one it printed really dull and light especially compared to other printers in the same class. I'm not sure if it's just mine or if they are all like that.I seriously had to have it do its head cleaning on the very first day, but to no avail. Lastly it does go through ink like crazy and yea it is kinda hard to find, like someone else said, unless of course you order it from Brother where they happen to make it. I do like how well it scans and how hard it works. It makes me think, I think I can, I think I can, the little Brother that could.

Great Printer
The printer has an average foot print and at the same time it has a low silhouette which makes it a nice fit on a shelf. The top of the printer has a folding door which keeps the majority of dust off the scanning feed area and of course it has the lid that opens to the flatbed scanner.
The print is very clear and the print time is very fast. This is one of the better printers I have owned.

Better than my last Brother!
Ive had the same Brother printer for 9 years and it worked great! That is until my dog decided he was gonna number 1 all over it. So off to Best Buy I went. I wasn’t sure what I wanted because although the prices ranged dramatically from various brands, I compared and debated for at least an hour and a half. Asking questions over and over I decided to go with this Brother. It has everything I need and more. From faxing to both sides printing, scanning, uploading to the cloud, etc. I LOVE this printer and even more so because it’s so compact! The only downfall for this printer isn’t the printer itself. It’s the ink. Plain and simple. Not only is the ink, in my opinion, twice the cost of other inks, it’s also hard to find. I’ve only succeeded at Best Buy or online or anywhere that sells the printer. And no matter where I found it, Best Buy was always cheaper unless you are willing to wait for Amazon to deliver it. But in my case, I needed it immediately. (Just stock up on ink) that’s what I did.

This printer has everything that I've come to know and expect (and love) from Brother over the years. It's easy to setup, configure, and use.

So far, so good. It is simple to operate; produces perfect copies, color and B&W. It is so fast, it scared the pants off me the first time it 'sucked' in a piece of paper and printed it out! I wasn't prepared for this since my last printer dinged around adjusting itself for, God knows what, before it decided to print. Love it!

This is been a solid machine. We did have difficulty because it kept connecting to our guest Wi-Fi. Therefore I had to continually restart it. I disconnected the guest Wi-Fi and it’s been great ever since. I can’t say that’s brothers fault but a little more flexibility in that area would be nice.

LOVE IT!!!
Over the years I've tired various brand name printers. Each had some good features and several not so good issues. Then 13 years ago I tried a Brother MFC-J615W printer. Let me yell it from the roof tops folks! It was the best overall home printer ever! It never failed me, always easy to update, ink was affordable and long lasting, features were user friendly and if I had a question the support was readily available! I had that one for 13 years!!! It would have lasted longer but I used a substitute ink which gummed up the works. Now I own the MFC-J497DW and I'm exceedingly happy with it! Looking forward to many years with this one too. Thanks Brother for making quality products!

I found this unit to be perfect for my use in my home office. I print and copy in low volumes. The mechanics sound a little rougher than my previous scanner/printer but the copies are quite satisfactory. The price of thyis unit was considerably less than replacing the scanner lamp on the previous one.

Gray printing, paper handling needs work
We love our brother printer. P print quality and speed are perfect. The only improvement would be in paper handling: both this and our previous Brother printer in the same price range constantly pick up more than one sheet of paper, offset by a random amount, so those pages are not usable. We like the print (and windows printer driver) so well that we just overcome the page handling by only putting one or two blank pages at a time in the paper tray.

Nothing but PROBLEMS with this Machine. NO Respons
I have happily purchased and used Brother machines for decades however, my most recent purchase, a new Brother MFCJ497DW has been nothing but endless problems. I sent numerous emails to Brother and NOT ONCE did they bother to respond. Instead, I receive a steady stream of Brother emails about products for sale. As a disabled, home-bound senior on a small monthly income who is dependent on a reliable multi-function machine, I am so upset, I may never again purchase nor recommend any Brother machine.

The price was low & I thought it would check off the boxes I wanted. It did not. Maybe it was salesman, but features on box were misleading too. It makes 2 sided copies from the printer, but not from the computer. It scans a number of documents at one time, but does not merge those documents into one multi page document to save to computer. Why have 2 steps to turn off printer?

In comparison to our last printer of another brand, this Brother printer is easy to operate and consistently performs well.

The printer I purchased did not lasted a year and i have to bring in for a repair. Then it turned out it cannot be repaired and I was given a refurnished printer as a replacement. Noted my previous brother printer lasted almost (9 years from the date of purchase and that was the main reason why I had purchased another brother printer.

Lil` Brother
I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. SETUP: The setup for the printer was very easy, from getting it out of the box to having it ready to use. It can be connected wirelessly or through using a USB cord. I set mine up wirelessly and it was very simple to do.SIZE: I have a small desk and it fit nicely on it due to its compact size. Perfect size for smaller spaces- home or at school.USE: The printer is very user friendly. The prints come out quickly and the quality of the print is superb with both the print and copy functions. It can even be used as a printer from other devices. The duplex printing is so much easier than on other machines I have used. The scan function was easy to learn and it can scan to Cloud services. I was not able to use the fax function, as I do not have a fax line to connect to. Overall, I feel that this is an excellent option for an all-in-one printer for a home or at school. I have never used a printer with the advanced capabilities that this model has and it was easy to learn and fun to use!

I used to hold off and do all my print jobs in one sitting, but now I can print conveniently and quickly whenever I want. The printer totally meets my quality standards and in my opinion is top of the line for what`s out there right now. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

CAUTION: PER DOWNLOADING SCANS
The online manual for this model printer/copier/fax specifically indicates in a sketch that it supports USB cables, thumb drives and memory cards for downloading material. However, I could only locate the cable connection, located beneath the scan bed. I subsequently contacted support and was advised that, contrary to the manual's illustration, this model ONLY supports USB cable connections. BE CERTAIN TO CLARIFY THIS WITH YOUR DEALER before purchasing.

Love printing off my IPhone
Setup was easy and connected thru my WiFi router easily. Printing different types of paper and picture sizes isn’t too bad. The way the paper tray is setup makes it feel complicated but it’s not bad after you do it once or twice. Pictures look nice on plain or gloss paper for us average photographers. Ink feels like it runs out quickly but have felt like that with all my printers. Overall I am quite happy with my purchase.

EASY TO SET UP
this is our most recent Brother purchase. We have used Brother printer's for years at home and in our work environment. Our HL2240's have been in use since 2010 and have never failed even though thy are transported to different sites for 30 weekends a year, they are work horses and seem to last forever. Hopefully this new model for our home office will fit the bill.

Would not stay connected to the WIFI
Every time I wanted to print something I had to cycle the printer to "off" and then "on" again, and let it reboot, reconnect, etc. Most times even that didn't work and ended up unplugging it for about 15 seconds and then trying it again. Not once was it reliable and I ended up disposing the printer and purchasing another brand.

Great Printer for our Family
I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. Setup instructions were very clear and we were up and running in less than 5 min. Downloaded the app they recommend and the plugin was easy to start printing directly from my phone. Being summer we have been using it alot tp print worksheets to keep our kids minds going and everything has come out great. The Printer is fast and quality is great. The size of the printer is also a big plus as we are short on space so having a printer that doesnt take up alot of room really helped out. Overall this is a great unit for pur needs, would highly recommend.

I bought on the recommendation of a salesman at Best Buy who said this printer had the best paper handling properties. I have had some great printers that fell short in this area. This printer prints as crisply and neatly and does as great with graphics as any I've had and SO FAR the paper handling has been excellent. NO joms so far!

Compared to my previous printer, a different brand, this Brother printer is so easy to operate. It comes on when I click print and gives me a preview with options such as which pages to print and whether to print on both sides of the paper. It turns itself off when done. It even cleans itself automatically. Love it!

My previous Brother printer heads started going bad, after almost a decade of continuous use. So I immediately went another Brother printer and it's a good replacement with uogrades, as it's a newer printet.

As a college student I would recommend this product to those who are in need of something well priced that does multiple jobs efficiently. The colors look great when pictures print, the printer does double sided and small prints with excellent detail and the printer is easy to use. I have been using mine daily for printing and scanning to my email and every function that this machine performs is user friendly and relatively quick. The people at Brother did an excellent job making a multi function printing/ faxing/ scanning machine that is reliable and great to have at a price that is reasonable. You have a satisfied customer here.

Great compact All-in-One
I have two printers that are doing ok even though they are well past their useful life (one is a Brother Laser Printer. However, I've decided to change from an old desktop to an iPad Pro as my main computer. So, I wanted to get a printer with AirPrint, a document feeder and duplex printing. This machine has all of these features at a very attractive price for the printer and ink.
After looking at reviews on the web, there is one All-in-One that is more expensive, its ink costs as much at the machine and the installation took more than an hour. This Brother machine hooked up instantly via AirPrint and took about 2 minutes for my desktop (I had to reset the router, which was clearly explained).
Great price for machine and ink, easy set-up, lots of features and great longevity based on my prior laser jet purchase.

This printer is twain compliant so it talks with most modern software but I would not want to rely on it as a daily grind printer for my office.

Never worked correctly
It has not met my expectations. It constantly went offline and I would have to restart. Then, after a paper jam was cleared, it still showed a paper jam. I've had 3 people look for one shred of paper with a flashlight and there is no paper in the printer. I've owned it less than 6 months. I guess you get what you pay for.

I needed a printer when my other finally died. I read reviews on this and they were all good. I was able to set it up by myself. It is quick and quiet.

Economically Sized Printer With Decent Results
I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. Item: Brother MFC-J497DW Wireless Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer with Mobile Device and Duplex PrintingStorage: The printer is very economically sized for I feel if you have limited desk space or limited space in your living quarters in general, this printer will fit in most places. The power cable is fairly long so you don`t need to be totally near a power outlet. The printer measures about a foot and a half wide by a foot and a quarter long. In terms of height, it measures a good 8-9 inches or so, roughly. The fact that it`s not a massive printer in addition to it`s fair weight makes it appealing for most households to own one.Physical features: Since the printer is not too heavy, I feel it could break easily if one were to drop it. The small interface where the menu and buttons are located is easy to navigate and intuitive to use though I didn`t press hard on the buttons because they didn`t seem too strong to handle pressure when pressed. The top door to insert sheets to make copies seemed easy to open but I was also careful to handle it because everything is such a lightweight material, I didn`t want to break anything. The tray to add paper was easy to remove but initially was a little challenging to place back inside because I didn`t want to break any latches or handles or anything that would secure to tray back inside. Also because the tray is somewhat considered the bottom of the printer, removing it also exposes the insides of the printer which I didn`t feel too good about. Stability: Though the printer is made of some lightweight plastic, there is still some weight to it so still be sure to place it on an even and large enough space so it`s stable. I placed this printer on the box it came in and it was shaking a bit from side to side so that was not a good idea though I am sure it wouldn`t of fallen off. Problems: There were a few problems I had with this printer that made me a little impatient to a little nervous. First, the speed of this printer isn`t the fastest. If you`re printing a normal black and white page with only writing on it, it prints quickly but once you incorporate images/color/scanning/copying then the speed gets slower and slower. I made a scan of an image from a magazine I had and it felt like it took a good five minutes because it scanned the first half of the image, waited a good ten seconds or so then continued to slowly but surely scan the rest of the image. It was not a fast process. Then when it came time to print it, that was very slow too.Another problem I encountered was that the top door you lift to scan/copy something was not stable. The only thing keeping it from closing was gravity because you would lift the door back enough so it wouldn`t come crashing down again. The door was loose and could easily come dropping back down so maybe a pressure controlled one or something that makes the top door more secure and wouldn`t come closing down if it were to be bumped or pushed by accident. It didn`t take much force to make it close on it`s own. I fear something would break if that were to happen.Mobile/Wireless Printing: I did try the Mobile Wireless printing from my phone and printed several images from the internet and several files I had saved on my Google drive. Those images printed out much faster with the overall process being pretty simple. From my drive I was able to locate the Brother printer and send the image wirelessly to print. Though it was recommended to download the Mopria Printer Service App, I was able to print straight from Google drive, though I believe I needed to at least have the plug-in to have the capability to print. That process was pretty intuitive and easy.I was unable to try the faxing feature because I did not have any phone number to fax a document to nor did have a fax machine accessible near me to send a document to myself. The process of wirelessly connecting the printer to my WiFi was easy with the steps provided on the sheets/booklet.

Poor User Interface and Connectivity; Flimsy
The user interface is terrible - difficult to see and poor functionality. Set up & connectivity near impossible - spent almost 2 hours on phone w tech, who was unsuccessful trouble shooting and told me it was my laptop & iPad (Wrong. I eventually was able to connect on my own w great amount of difficulty. The printer will go off in middle of night to re-align or connect or who knows. Have to turn off, which ten requires going thru connection process all over again.

My MFC-440CN gave me ten years of great service came with a three year warranty ,so I knew when I purchased the MFC-J497DW that it's pedigree dictated it would be just as special.

Waste of time
Every time I use this printer I have to spend hours trying to get the printer to connect to the wireless network. After repeated re-starts of the computer, the printer and the wireless router and re-installation of the driver, the grand total of pages printed over a couple of weeks is one page. Lots of hours wasted.

Compact size allows one to put it almost anywhere. Display is clear although small, everything is readily accessible. Dislike that paper tray is difficult to open. Speed is slow. Cartridges are somewhat less expensive than most competitors

Uses a lot of ink; low capacity of black ink; slow printing; does not stay connected to network or at least the other computers can't see it part of the time.

Good speed and print quality. The one and only issue is the lack of ink available in stores. I have to order online, even for store pick up in some cases! Otherwise, this is a great printer.

Great, just a little slow sometimes though.
I really enjoy my new all-in-one printer. I do however have a few things I wish were different. It seems when I try to print anything that is 20 or more pages, it really takes a hit on speed. Almost as if it’s a combustion engine bogging down. Other than that, it’s great for me as a college student. Cheap, yet effective.

WIreless Scanning Faulty
Scanning wirelessly from the flatbed or sheet feeder rarely works. You might get 1 of several pages and it takes forever to fail. This it true whether using any of the software interfaces provided for a Mac OS device (printer setting, iprint. I end up resorting to USB connection to get it to work.

Bought this unit as a replacement for our older model Brother Printer after the print head died. It had provided us with many years of service and was very economical compared to other major printer brands.
