As an initial note, I'd like to acknowledge the 1 -Star review from Amazon member Dirk J. Krouskop about this product. I actually saw his review after I had ordered this printer, but before I received it from Amazon. His review describes how this printer caused his circuit breaker to trip. I found the review very informative and marked it as "Helpful."My experience with this printer has been different than his. No problems with breakers, at all. Although, I admit to holding my breath when I first turned on the machine after having read his review -- wondering if the room would go dark. I have this plugged into one of many power strips on a 15A circuit, and like many people, I'm probably plugging too many devices into that circuit through the use of power strips. When I first turned it on, running in room were three mac mini's, an iMac, a router, two 8-port ethernet switches, two UPS battery backups, an HP inkjet printer, and three LCD monitors (along with r andom smaller things like external hard drives and AA and AAA battery chargers.) I've heard the Mac Mini's don't draw much power, but was still relieved. I don't know if my lack of circuit breaker problems means that he has a normal system, and mine is robust. Or, there may be all sorts of other possible explanations, but I just wanted to share my experience, in case it's helpful. My house was built and wired in 1969, but that room was an addition to the house from around 1996. That said, I really like this laser printer. Here are some of the reasons: A big factor in the purchase was the relatively low operating cost of this unit when it comes to toner. Lots and lots of pages from the large toner cartridges, which are also more reasonably priced than the other laser printer I have, an HP P2055dn (which is very similar in size to the Brother HL6180DW); Easy Double sided printing; Easily printed to it from my iPhone and iPad on ce it was on my network; Print quality is professional. We did a side by side comparison of letters to a client that we printed on 24lb, 25% cotton business paper from the HP laserjet and the Brother. We thought they were both superb quality. Very clear and pleasant to read. Fast printing. it's plenty fast for our small office, as a shared printer. Wifi and Ethernet. I've always preferred Ethernet connections to WiFi, but set this on WiFi. Easily joined my WPA2 Personal password protected network and still prints fast. It's located just about 10 feet from the WiFi router, so the connection is probably excellent. Every computer on the network sees the Brother and can print to it. Again, I really found Dirk J. Krouskop's review useful. My experience with this printer, however, has been excellent. At this price, it's such a great printer for a small business. Really can't believe this quality is available without gouging u s on toner replacement costs. Had I seen his review before I purchased, I probably would have missed out, so I'm just adding this review / experience and hope it's also useful. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful Excellent SOHO Printer!, By This review is from: Brother Printer HL6180DW Wireless Monochrome Printer (Office Product) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) Over the last few years, we've been using Brother printers in our home office and have had excellent results. Our previous printer, the Brother HL-5370DW, definitely got the most use since our business is now to a point where we easily print a full ream of paper every few days.The HL-5370DW actually worked fairly well; but, it did have some issues that were always a pain: 1) It was horrible at printing envelopes. As a result, we would always print envelopes on an HP Color LaserJet even though it isn't as convenient. 2) The lights would dim every time the HL-5370DW would start up. 3) The input paper capacity wasn't that great. Regardless of those issues we went through multiple toner cartridges and a couple of drums before the printer finally just fell apart. With that background, I've found the HL6180DW to be a very impressive model! It still fits in the same footprint as the older laser - but does sit a bit taller because of the larger input tray. Here are the things I like about the HL6180DW: 1) This is the first Brother laser printer I've owned that actually does a good job at printing envelopes! No more wrinkled envelopes, and no more trips up to the color LaserJet. :) 2) It starts up without dimming the lights. On top of that, the first page out is still a couple of seconds faster than the HL-5370DW. 3) Because of the little LCD screen, the wireless setup was a breeze. I did have to download drivers on each PC to get the network setup working; but, that isn't a huge deal. 4) I like that Brother doesn't bundle a lot of garbage with their network drivers - but I wonder why the download package was so large since there aren't really any apps included... 5) T he print speed is excellent! Honestly, we're on the verge of needing a truly professional-level printer; but, this will hold us over for the next few months until we get into a larger office. 6) I love having the option for a super high-yield print cartridge. That will definitely save both money and hassle. 7) The duplex feature works great - although I've come to expect that from Brother printers in general. 8) I like that the paper tray will hold a full ream of paper. Honestly, there isn't much bad that I can say about this little printer. If you're looking for a great laser printer in a compact package, then I would highly recommend this Brother HL6180DW! 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful best little laser with cheapest supplies, This review is from: Brother Printer HL6180DW Wireless Monochrome Printer (Office Product) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)  I love this printer so far! It's smallish, economical, pretty quiet, and prints well. Watch my video if you want, but I'm not very good at video reviews yet... :) The video just goes through the first time setup. I'm a computer tech who usually doesn't need a lot of hand-holding. If you want all the help you can get, using the disk to install a printer will usually give you step by step instructions (but I never tried with this printer). Setup: -easy to setup: I followed the menus on the printer itself and setup the wireless connection. -easy to install on the computer: I searched for a network printer, it found it, and it searched the internet for the driver--no need to install other bloated software (I've only installed it in windows 7). Economical: --economical: The TN780 Super-dup er high yield is for up to 12,000 pages at just over 0 currently. (You'll never get 12,000 since printer cartridges are rated for 5% coverage. If I just do general stuff without a lot of pictures, I would expect to get around 10,000 pages--20 reams of paper!) --other consumables seem ok too--drum is just over 0 too and good for up to 30,000 pages--some printers have the drum built into the cartridge, but usually more economical printers have it separate. --There are other parts listed, like the fuser and rollers, but I haven't seen them for sale and I'm too lazy to call Brother. It's good to know that Brother doesn't consider the printer kaput when a roller wears out, but these things usually last pretty long--I've had printers that I've never changed anything other than toner and drums. --duplexer built in! Print on both sides to save paper! --there is a toner saver mode that prints just a little lighter. I'm leaving it on because I'm cheap. Doesn't seem to effect quality. If you don't want to install all the extra software from disk, you can set things like toner saver and quite mode by browsing to the printer's ip address. other: --500 sheet paper tray! Oh yeah! I stuck a whole ream of paper, and I'm going to let it run out every time so I can just stick another ream of paper in it. --upgradable memory... who cares, but you can! cons: (none of these matter to me, but in case you need to know) --you can use the multi-purpose for envelopes, but the books says it will only hold 3 at a time. May not be good for printing a stack of envelopes. --Doesn't seem to support anything other than "thick paper". Seems to be no support for even thinner card stock. (does support laser labels). --can only do legal in the multi-purpose tray so this wouldn't be good if you need lots of legal (who does these days?). power issues: --I see one review says it keeps throwing his break er. I have it plugged into a wall outlet with my AMD performance desktop, bose ipod dock, 27" monitor, HP wireless speaker thingie, computer speakers, happy light, desk lamp, and sometimes laptop. It's never caused electrical issues--no breaking tripping, no dimming, no nothing. I plug it directly into the wall and I plug everything else into a ups. |
