The printer is fast and makes good copies, BUT it is noisy when compared to two other printers I have owned.

Really like the sheet feed scanner which is one of the reasons I purchased this model. Also prints pretty quickly and accurately. Great printer for the price.

As a senior, I appreciated the easy, guided set up and I was printing in less than 20 minutes after putting it in place. Printing is fast and good quality.

This printer has worked exceptionally well. From setup to use, this printer has been trouble free. My family is able to connect and print wirelessly from any device. Awesome and highly recommended!

This is a pretty compact unit, with abilities to scan, copy and fax for an affordable price. It is fairly efficient in terms of the time needed to perform. However, I find it a little noisy.

I’ve only had the printer a few weeks, but all seems to be working fine. All the software loaded quickly with no problems (PC). I’ve tested every feature and they are working. It prints quickly in single page mode. Duplex mode is a tad slow, but I think I would have to go to a laser printer to get faster. The printer is lightweight and compact. I like the way the feeder tray blends with the top until you need it. There are a few things that I believe could be improved. 1. I’m used to an ink-saver mode simply reducing the the print density (e.g., 600 dpi to 300 dpi). This isn’t the case for this printer. Print objects that seem to be encoded as an outline and a fill print the outline only in ink-saver mode instead of a less dark outline and fill. Color printing is terrible in ink-saver mode. You have to think too much about what you are printing in ink-saver mode to make it worth while. I’ve turned it off. 2. I’m used to the duplex feature recognizing when there is only one page to print and printing as fast as single page printing. This printer does not recognize single pages in duplex mode. Every page is printed as if there are actually two sides to print thus slowing down the printing. 3. You get a warning when you are completely out of paper. A low paper warning would be helpful.

I’ve had my printer for several months now. I use it mainly to print reports for our church. I am the treasurer and print monthly reports. It prints the reports quickly and perfectly. I am very happy with this product and would purchase again!

I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to use this machine. The setup was easy, with clear instructions. The all-in-one works through my home wifi. I am able to print from my laptop and my daughter and I can print straight from our IPhones, because it`s on my home wireless network there`s no extra set up required. Because I deal with multi-page contracts for work, the document feed to scanner is important to me. It`s not necessary to scan pages individually. I was able to set it up to scan directly to my OneDrive account, using the touchscreen on the machine. That is the only cloud account I tried but there is Facebook and other Cloud accounts options. The printing is good quality, and can print on both sides of the paper, a nice feature. I did not try the fax feature as that is not something I normally need.

Bought the MFC-J895DW to replace a competitor printer. Bought this printer based on another Brother MFC-J885DW in my house. I like the simplicity and ease of install for both printers ! Print quality is good and replacement cartridges reasonably priced compared to other brands. I recommend the Brother ink jet product line !

Pro – My primary reason for buying the MFC-J895DW is for a printer that could be used infrequently without the ink drying out and clogging the print heads between printings. I print 2-3 times a month but sometimes it is longer than a month between printing. Though it was hard to find out, the black ink is pigment and the 3 colors are dye inks. Pigment ink tends to dry out and clog print heads if not used frequently. Brother provides the perfect function for me. As long as the printer remains plugged in (does not even have to be turned on) it monitors the print heads and will periodically clean/refresh them automatically to keep them from clogging. So when I print after a month or two I don’t have to waste ink unclogging print heads. Con – I wish the printer supported more paper types.

My Brother 3 in 1 does all it says it does. My home computer and phone “communicated” right away with the printer with no problems.

The range of features and intuitive operation fit our home office and personal needs quite well. Occasionally, when trying to print, the MFC will message “offline” and is unable to print. When the MFC is next turned off and on, it will print all the items in the print queue, including those the would not print in the “offline” condition. Have not been able to troubleshoot and eliminate this issue. Curiously, my previous 6 year old MFC (not a Brother) did the same thing. Downloading a more recent driver seemed to amelioriate but not completely eliminate the problem with the previous MFC. This small problem is occasionally annoying but not a big problem. Still like my Brother MFC.

The printer worked fine for about six months. Then all of a sudden it went “offline” and I haven’t been able to get it back “online” no matter what I do. I have spent hours trying to fix this problem including reinstalling the software twice, but it still insists that it is “offline” and won’t respond to wireless requests for printing. I have given up — I have attached a cord to my laptop and use it that way. Of course, that means no possible printing from any other source. I’m quite upset but don’t have the desire to waste any more time trying to trouble shoot the problem. Maybe other people have had good luck with the wireless printing, but not me!

The printer does a lot more than I expected of it. Including Scanning, sending documents to my PC, e-mailing documents, and, of course, clear and quick printing!

The MFC-J895DW is perfect for my home office. It copies, prints, scans, and also is a fax machine. It truly is all in one.
