Don’t care for Brother. Never understood the circlejerk for them. Cheap flimsy parts that break easily and are almost impossible to repair. I’d probably want something nicer than the base model too.
you’re entitled to your own opinion, but I’ve never had anything but good experiences with my own Brother laser printer. I was the one who picked it out and bought it since my family needed to print a lot of stuff and I didn’t want to deal with troubleshooting it for them, and it has been by far the most reliable, easy to use printer any of us have ever dealt with. We used to have shitty HP inkjets, and those can all die in a fire along with HP.
Maybe they’re fine for home use, but they’re always the first ones to breakdown on me at work. Actually had way better luck with HP LaserJets. But all printers are evil this is like comparing various grades of manure.

A decent Brother toner printer isn’t more than $100-150 though… assuming USD.

You just defined printers in general. Brother is just an edge better than most…

Probably true. My ideal printer doesn’t exist. I’ve really had some bad luck with Brother printers in particular.
