Our Verdict

Brother MFC-L2750DW [L2710DW, L2717DW, L2730DW]

Brother MFC-L2820DW

The Brother MFC-L2820DW and the Brother MFC-L2750DW are very similar overall. While the MFC-L2750DW has a few more features, like automatic duplex scanning and NFC support, you can find variants of the MFC-L2820DW that support them. The only differences are the control panel and page yield; the MFC-L2820DW has a nicer display with fewer physical buttons, while the MFC-L2750DW has a slightly higher page yield.
