Customer Reviews

MFC-J680DW is rated 4.2 out of 5 by 302.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brother MFC is the best! I have owned Brother printers for years. I find them reliable and long-lasting. The fact that I can change out one color at a time is a real feature for me.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Funktionalität ok, Tonerhandling unbefriedigend Ich habe diesen Drucker nun ein paar Jahre. Ich war anfänglich total begeistert. Leider verflog dieses Gefühl bei den ersten Toner-Leer Meldungen. Denn kaum ist eine Farbe noch nicht mal ganz leer, funktioniert das Drucken nicht mehr. Auch nicht nur Schwarz-Weiss. Es müssen immer alle Patronen gefüllt sein. Den Status "Leer" zeigen sie sehr früh an, kaum 3 Monate und bei wenigen Drucken. Dies ist so unbefriedigend. Hauptsächlich auch, weil die Meldung aus dem Nichts kommt, keine Vorwarnung. Man kann dann einfach nicht mehr drucken und sitzt auf dem Trockenen. Auch die WLAN_Verbindung ist leider sehr schlecht. Sehr oft verbindet sich der Drucker nicht. Auf Airprint wird er auch oft nicht gefunden.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Won't stay connected to internet for printing Worst printer in terms of having to power it down and up again for it to reconnect with internet, even though it shows connectivity. Much time wasted trying to get wireless printing

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Easy transition from old to new Brother printer I like that PaperPort/Scan is same. I want to use Airport printing from iPhone but can’t login to my WiFi router to finish setup. It definately slower than our older commercial quality printer but price was right. Scanning is easy.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Adequate This is a nice machine. The only problem I have, every so often it tells me I am out of ink. Knowing I've not used it that much, I pull the cartridges out, reinsert and then it shows all of them almost full.
