I replaced my original monochrome no features brother laser printer because it was physically destroyed in a move. The brother MFC that took its place lasted almost 13 years before a power surge knocked it off the network permanently. So now that one is an offline “print a huge thing and let it run all day” printer we only rarely use, and now have the most modern MFC they make, which I hope lasts another decade+. They’re awesome.
I used my first brother MFC laser printer for probably 12 or more years. I passed it on to my brother and lost track of it. I replaced it with a color laser MFC.
I rarely use it anymore so the fact that it works without issue is hardly a surprise. However, I would never own a printer that is not a laser printer. I’ve had three laser printers in the last 26 years. The current one is about 2 years old. They last.
