good laser fax/copy printer?

[Cliff Couser]

I need to get an MFC. Fax (using Vonage), flatbed scanner and printer (laser).

I've pretty much narrowed it down to a Brother MFC-7820N

Are there aany other comparable brands to this?

I was hoping to get a Samsung, but couldn't find anything that fit my requirements.

Thanks for any advice!

Oh no, never, ever buy a Brother. Ever.
Samsungs are ok, but they fail prematurely too in my experience.

If you can swallow their ridiculous toner prices, HP machines have performed well for me, as have Canons.

Probably way too much for you, but very efficient, fast, and quiet: http://www.amazon.com/Laser-Jet-3050-Printer-Scanner/dp/B000E7LR6U/

crap...just realized the Brother isn't duplex. I need that.

The HP is out of budget. I was hoping somewhere ~200.

Some of the Canon's seem to be in that range.

I rather like the Canon MF4150, and you should be able to find it for right around $200 - I have seen it for $200 in brick and mortar stores. PCMag has rated it an Editor's Choice and the vast majority of Amazon.com reviews are 5 stars. Hopefully you are not using it through an Airport Extreme base station or for printing envelopes, to supposed weaknesses. Rock solid, aside from that. Actually, it's $159 with free shipping right now at Amazon, as well.

Thanks Pyro!

I was actually just reading the reviews of that 4150 on Amazon.

This looks like a better choice.
