Our Verdict

Brother MFC-L8905CDW [MFC-L8895CDW, MFC-L8900CDW]

Canon Color imageCLASS MF665Cdw

For most purposes, the Brother MFC-L8905CDW is a bit better than the Canon Color imageCLASS MF665Cdw. It has a higher-capacity ADF, scans faster, and offers a higher maximum print speed. It's also compatible with ultra-high-yield toner cartridges, which help drastically lower its cost-per-print. The Canon, however, has a scanner lid with a wider height adjustment range, making it easier to scan thicker books and documents. It also includes the drum directly in its cartridges, while the Brother's drum needs replacing after about 30,000 prints. This isn't inherently better, but it makes maintenance more straightforward. The Canon’s smaller footprint can also be an advantage if you're short on space.
