Easy to install and use.  Wireless for all our toys including Ipad.  Quality photos and love the drop and print feature.

The MFC-J5720DW is the ultimate productivity inkjet. The sideways paper handling makes for a smaller footprint than competitors from Canon and such, and pretty much every aspect is well thought out. The ADF works very well (single-pass duplex scanning FTW!), and the cloud integration is the best in the industry, bar none -- I can rapidly scan to or print from my OneDrive, Dropbox, etc., or directly toss things into a OneNote notebook. There's also mobile printing via apps for iOS, Android, and Windows phones.

Real-world printing and (particularly) scanning speeds are a lot faster than the Canon flagship multifunctions I had before, and the touch screen has a nice UI (though it's a resistive, rather than capacitive, panel, so fingernails help with accuracy).

The large-format print support (11x17") is great, as is the stock two-tray setup and built-in duplexer (which works quite well). The scanner/copier part warms up quite rapidly, so no need to sit there waiting, as with many scanners/MFPs.

My Canons had all sorts of issues with Wifi drop-outs and such, but this printer has been rock-solid for 7 months now, and Brother's even added a few new features in that time frame. Best inkjet printer I've ever used.

This printer does it all, with little to no effort from the user. It set up easily and has been going strong ever since. The photo quality is great, even on draft mode(Which I still have only figured out how to use draft when using a memory card or stick, haven't been able to get a selection for it from the computer). I would really recommend this printer and would buy another if I ever needed one.

We've owned this printer for about 2.5 months and printed 890 pages to date and I have to say this is a great printer!

Pros:

- It was relatively inexpensive up front

- Toner cartridges promise to be the same (7000 page cartridge for about $75)

- Duplexer equipped to save paper and time

- Network capable (which allows us to print from anywhere in the house)

- Fast output

- Good software that allows several printing options

- Small footprint design

- Memory expandable

- Bulk paper tray expandable

Cons:

The printer is a little noisy but that doesn't bother us, it is not that much louder than an inkjet at full bore.  The hardest part was getting my firewalls to accept the new device, but that is not the printers fault.

I bought this for my wife who is taking classes that require a horrendous amount of printing.  After going through several ink cartridges, I decided to take the plunge, and thank goodness, we love this printer!

I messed around with a different brand of printer for months before giving up and ordering this one.  I could kick myself for not starting with this one.  The prints are amazing.  Period.  By looking in the scrapbook, you can tell exactly when I switched printers.  I may have to go back and reprint the bad ones on this printer.  Anyway, onto specifics:

PROS:
--I print a lot of photos and I am still on the original ink cartridges. (last printer had cartridges which lasted maybe 20 images)
--Images are razor sharp, clear, colorful and wonderful.  Period.
--It turns itself on and off when it receives a signal that I want to print.
--If I leave the output door closed but tell it to print, the door opens automatically.
--I can go for long periods of time without printing and I don't have to "reset", "clean", or "recharge" or do anything to the ink cartridges for sharp images. (last printer wasted incredible amounts of ink every time you tried to print, telling me it had to clean the cartridges...every single time).
--Less expensive that the other color printers and works so so so much better.

CONS:
--I cannot think of any.  Seriously.

I love this printer.  After all the hassle I went through with the other printer, this one is such a relief.  It works when I need it to and produces wonderful prints.  What more could I ask?

An excellent all-in-one!

Unbelievably good print quality and speed. It prints EXTREMELY fast--you think it's in draft mode until you notice the print quality! Both text and graphics are very sharp and professional looking--I came from using a new $10k laser, so I'm familiar with top notch quality.

No problem setting it up with Windows 7 via USB.

Touch screen intuitive and easy to use.

I use the regular cartridges but they've lasted a good while, about 600 full cover pages for black and white on normal quality.

This replaced my 10 year old Hp all in one which broke down.  I heard about how good brother printers are and also did alot of research on this model.  I love the built in wifi feature and double-sided printing which I didn't have on my Hp which is a plus.  I love the fact that it has individual ink cartridges.  It also has the option for using the usb connection instead.  Haven't had any problems with this printer so I'm happy with my purchase!

I bought this to replace an HP Photosmart Plus B209, an unmitigated piece of junk.  What a difference!  This printer is fantastic for the price.  Big cartridges at a reasonable price, and unlike HP, you can buy refills that show you how much ink you have left.  Good quality print.  Copy, scan, and fax.  Easy to set up.  Can't find anything to complain about.  Obviously, I highly recommend it!

I've used this printer for nearly a year and it has exceeded all my expectations.  I have nothing negative to say about this printer.

Ok... this printer is REALLY great honestly.  Amazon has this thing at a price that I can't imagine any other printer on the market can come CLOSE to for the amount of features and print quality this thing has.  Print quality/paper handling/screen/buttons/etc all those score extremely high in my book (and I'm REALLY O.C.D.).

Here are the only negatives to keep in mind.  This thing is HUGE, you can't tell it from the picture but the printer is about 18" deep by 21" wide and 9" tall in the "closed up" format that you see in the default picture.  The unit does have a rear upright paper tray that can be pulled out as needed which means you need an additional 3-4" of clearance in the back to use that.  There is also a bottom drawer tray that doesn't utilize any extra space, so the back tray is only needed for anything that needs to pass through the printer unbent/folded.  The front cover where the paper exits also means you need front clearance.  That front cover is actually on some kind of magnetic release so it will pop open when you print something and so the printer stays looking nice and neat like in the picture.  The only other OCD quirk is that for this unit to scan wirelessly (wifi), the software installs some resident/monitor/listener program that stays open in your system tray.

In general the setup is really great though and I would highly recommend this printer for any household or MAYBE a low volume small business).

This printer does everything you could want in a All-in-One printer.  For the price you can't go wrong with this printer!

I have used this printer now for over a year and really love it.  It has a lot of nice features for the money and is much better than any printer I have used in the past.

Very happy with this printer; it outperforms my HP and Dell printers by a mile.

I have had this printer for the past two weeks and have used most of the functions.  I am incredibly pleased with the quality, size, quietness and speed of this printer.  It connected to wifi easily and the touch screen is responsive, although it can easily be controlled by my computer.  Because the price was so reasonable I had doubts about what it would be like, but I am certainly not disappointed in any way.  I had read previously complaints about the setup being difficult and requests to join the automatic cartridge program being an issue, however there was basically one question about joining with a yes or no answer so I did not find that to be an obstacle to the process in any way.  I write honest reviews because I rely on previous buyers comments before I push the 'add to cart' button.  I do not see how anyone could be disappointed with this copier

I had bought this printer back in January of '04.  It has been nothing shy of excellent ever since.  I did a lot of research before purchasing a home Photo Printer and have been nothing but ahppy with my choice.  First off let me say i have only used canon inks and paper with this machine for 4x6 and 8x10 prints.  They have all come out wonderfully, people have complained about the lack of an LCD, if your serious about your pictures, you probably don't want to use an LCD and want to use a program to touch your pictures up before you print them so that not an issue for most people looking at this canon, so not to worry.

Setup was easy, the printer has a small footprint and fits everywhere.  The loading of the print head is easy enougha as are the inks, evn a child could do it.  The very first picture i printed out had some banding, but no other picture has ever had a problem, so i attribute that to the inks having to get through the system?!

I printed about 40 4x6's the other night and it took roughly 45 minutes, thats with me having to reload the special 4x6 paper clip that limits you to 20 pages in there at a time.  Thats pretty impressive and each and every picture comes out looking perfect with canon's proprietary photo print software.  Using Photoshop is just as easy and the pictures come out no less marvelous as well.  I have not used this printer for text yet, and its job is photo only at my house, we use the laserjet for day to day text/web printing.  The only down side is no USB cable, make sure to get a USB 2 cable from amazon because its like 4 times the price in the local brick and mortars.

So if your serious about your pictures but less than a full blown amateur photographer this is perfect photo printer for you.

This printed has been everything I expected and needed.  It's a bit bulky but that's the tradeoff for having so many advanced features.  It copies, scans, prints and faxes very easily.

The scanning is very high quality - more than I expected for a fairly inexpensive printer. It will send the JPG or PDF files directly to your computer's desktop.  It has a menu that is very detailed and you can choose not only format but also size and resolution. I also tried printing on 5X7 cards and was pretty successful.  It took me a couple of tries to figure out that for some reason, the card would print more straight if the bin was full of cards instead of just doing one by one but now that I know that, I am able to print well on smaller cards. Even really expensive laser printers get tripped up printing on cardstock so this made me really happy.

My favorite feature and one that I specifically looked for, was the separate ink cartridges for each color and black ink.  This saves money in that you only have to replace the ones that are empty, not throw out all of them. As expected, I go through black more than anything.  I also used some generic cartridges that are not Brother and they work just fine.
