Reviews of the Brother MFC 7440N
-
CNET Review
The Good: Small footprint for a multifunction unit; accurate character recognition; fast text printing; low cost per page; decent quality black and white scans.
The Bad: Poor quality graphics prints; unattractive design; cramped paper output tray; slow scanning speed; less than average amount of internal memory.
The Bottom Line: The Brother MFC-7440N prints quickly and is fairly inexpensive to sustain, but we simply can't get behind a printer with poor quality graphics, significant hardware defects, and a boring design.

Review Summary: The Brother MFC-7440N is a capable mono laser multifunction that suffers from several flaws which may impact on its use in offices. It costs $100 more than the MFC-7340, but the addition of the Ethernet port is a boon for productivity.

Review Summary: That would make it better value than some rivals as you essentially get networking and fax for free, but the Brother feels rather crude and isn't especially nice to use
