Our Verdict

Brother MFC-L3770CDW Laser

Lexmark CX331adwe

The Brother MFC-L3770CDW Laser is better for most uses than the Lexmark CX331adwe. The Brother is better-built, it supports duplex scanning, the companion app prints Microsoft Office files, and it has better color accuracy. However, the Lexmark has a higher page yield, so it's more cost-effective over time, and it prints pages slightly faster.
