Our Verdict

0.0
Family 

The Brother MFC-L2750DW is a good option if you only print black and white documents, but it isn't ideal if you plan on printing photos or color documents since it's a monochrome laser printer. Its wide connectivity options include USB, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet, making it easy for every household member to access the printer. It has a feature-rich scanner with an automatic document feeder and single-pass duplex scanning capability, and it produces amazing scans, which is great for digitizing photos. Its toner cartridge yields a large number of prints, so you won't need to replace it often, and it's relatively cheap, so your maintenance cost remains low.

Pros
  • High page yield; low cost-per-print.
  • Outstanding printing speed.
  • Produces high-quality black and white documents.
  • Wide connectivity options.
  • Low maintenance.
Cons
  • Printed photos look grainy and lacking in detail.
  • No support for external storage devices.
  • Can't print on glossy paper.

    1.  Updated Mar 21, 2024: We've rotated the color dE picture in the Color Accuracy section, as it was previously upside down. We've also adjusted the Black & White Documents score so that it's more in line with other printers that perform similarly, bringing the score down from 9.0 to 8.5.
    2.  Updated Nov 17, 2023: We've updated the review to improve clarity and readability.
    3.  Updated Jun 01, 2023: We've linked the HP LaserJet Tank MFP 2604sdw in the 'Cartridge' section to provide an alternative with a higher page yield.
    4.  Updated Feb 09, 2023: Added mention of the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw in the Color Documents box as an alternative for color printing.

    Brother MFC-L3770CDW Laser

    Track

    The Brother MFC-L3770CDW and the Brother MFC-L2750DW are all-in-one laser printers with flatbed scanners, automatic document feeders, and faxing capabilities. The L2750DW is a monochrome printer and is much better for black-and-white printing. The L2750DW has a higher black page yield, a much lower cost-per-print, and prints faster. On the other hand, the L3770CDW can print in color.

    Brother HL-L2390DW/HL-L2395DW

    Track

    The Brother MFC-L2750DW and the Brother HL-L2390DW are very similar monochrome laser printers. The MFC-L2750DW has more features, like NFC support and an automatic feeder with duplex scanning. It also yields more pages per cartridge and prints slightly faster.

    Lexmark B2236dw

    Track

    The Brother MFC-L2750DW is a better monochrome printer for small or home offices than the Lexmark B2236dw. Although it's significantly bigger, the Brother has both a sheetfed and flatbed scanner, which is handy for processing many documents. Its cost-per-print is slightly more affordable, and its toner cartridge can yield more pages before needing to be replaced. However, the Lexmark printer has a quicker print time for single-page documents.

    Canon imageCLASS MF445dw

    Track

    The Canon imageCLASS MF445dw and the Brother MFC-L2750DW have very similar overall performances. The Canon yields more pages per cartridge, so the cartridge doesn't need replacing as often. The Canon can print out single-page documents faster, but the Brother's printing speed is faster. However, while the Brother's scanner can scan at a higher resolution, the Canon has more connectivity options.
