Reviews
“The Brother HL-2170W laser printer can be the perfect money saving sidekick to your existing inkjet, but don’t expect it to handle even the most minor graphic jobs.” (CNET, 2008)
“Printing speed and Wi-Fi make the Brother HL-2170W an unusually good bargain. The graphics limitations, however, hinder its usefulness for documents such as newsletters and brochures.” (ComputerShopper, 2008)
“If you’re in the market for a personal monochrome laser printer or a printer for a small or home office, put the Brother HL-2170W ($150 street) on your must-see list. It’s fast, it prints at reasonably high quality (particularly for text), and it’s small enough to share a desk with. It even includes both an Ethernet connector and Wi-Fi support as standard.” (PCMag, 2008)
