Our Verdict

Brother MFC-L2820DW

Brother MFC-J4355DW

The Brother MFC-L2820DW and the Brother MFC-J4355DW are all-in-one midrange printers with different strengths. The laser MFC-L2820DW is an outstanding choice for document printing. It's extremely quick, delivers sharp documents, and has excellent page yields. Also, since it's a laser printer, it won't clog even when left idle for long periods. However, it's not as versatile as it can't print pictures and is limited to monochrome output. The MFC-L2820DW can print in color and is suitable for casual photo printing, though its color reproduction is pretty mediocre. It also has outstanding page yields and prints very sharp documents.
