Amazon.in:Customer reviews: Brother HL-L2321D Single-Function Monochrome Laser Printer with Auto Duplex Printing

Reviewed in India on 26 January 2019

I am writhing this review after using it a month. I purchased it for Rs. 8999.

Pros:-
1. Fast printing
2. Duplex

Cons

1. High printing cost
2. 1 cartridge yield maximum 1500 pages only
3. Monochro

Since if you want very fast printing and duplex then go with it. But cost for this you have to pay approximately Rs 2.5 per page.

And if time is not your concern then go with epson printer in the same price segment you will get all in one printer (print+copy+scan) and page yield is about 7000 page for colour and 6000 page of black. And even one refill cost around Rs.400.

I am using both printer thats why I am able to compare both.

Worst Electronic Product ever bought online.

I received this printer on 14 July 2019. After installing as guided i connected the printer it got switched on and immediately the fuse gone and trip off in main board. I called the amazon customer care. He advised to change the switch board. When changed it switched on again. Whenever the printer is plugged to switch, the main board gets trip off. Since the power connections are good and is three phase it is getting trip, otherwise there would have been electrical fire which is life threatening to family members. I called the amazon technical team again on 22 July 2019 and spoke to Mr.Vidhya (which is recorded by me). After putting me on hold for four times and extended the call for 30 minutes, he said he has applied for replacement and i will get the message shortly. Even after 24 hours I have not received any message. Today (23 July 2019) when I called for three times I am not at all connected to technical person. May be instead of applying replacement my number would be blacklisted. Once the product is received by us i don't think we will get a replacement. Is there anyone who got their electronic item replaced by Amazon. Please think twice before buying this product through online. Now the replacement date is also gone.

Where were you Brother!

Since last several years I had been suffering a color printer. And since I don't use much, the color cartridges used to stale. All color printers have 4 cartridges and in old color printer, if one cartridge goes faulty, the printer stops. This is crazy. Besides, one color cartridge costs approx Rs. 1500. Multiply this by 4 and its Rs. 6000, just for the cartridges alone. And I never used color cartridge much. but I had to buy it because without it, the Black cartridge won't work. It was an expensive affair.
Then I finally decided that enough is enough. I need a printer which is for home use, minimal use, and the cartridge should survive some long period of hibernation. And since I had burned my fingers with an expensive, famous, high end printer, I was looking for a printer with a reasonable budget, preferably below Rs. 10,000.
The Brother printer is truly doing good. No hassles. And no paper jams as yet. It's very easy to install. There are youtube videos on how to assemble it. I could do it in less than 5 mins. And the best thing is, you power the printer, and insert usb in laptop/computer and goto printer settings, and when you add printer, the driver of the printer self-installs. I have also ordered "Apple Leaders Printer Dust Cover for Brother HL-L2321D". You see I have Brotherly feelings already towards this new possession.

Brother HL-L2321D - Updated 01/03/2019 - The Reliable and Affordable Duplex Printer!

Reviewed in India on 10 December 2017

Pattern name: Printer

This is an efficient and reliable single function monochrome printer! I was looking for a good laser duplex printer. After a lot of search, I found this printer to be the most appropriate. In fact, I wanted to get a colour laser printer but found them to be very expensive and unnecessary as colour prints are rarely needed. The toner costs are astronomical! If a single original black toner cartridge costs half the cost of this printer, imagine the cost of coloured toners! Besides the initial cost of a laser colour printer is outrageously high. So unless you really need one, don’t waste your time looking for one. Inkjet colour printers are cheaper so you can opt for them. But be advised that they aren’t easy to maintain. Unlike inkjet printers, ink leaks won't occur even if the laser printer isn’t used for a long time.

Setting up this printer was very easy and I had it running in minutes. Duplex printing is fantastic. It saves paper, time and energy. The paper tray stacks 250 papers neatly within the printer. Always use dual print compatible papers to avoid causing paper jams or poor quality prints. The toner (TN-2365) that comes with the printer has a stated capacity of 2,600 pages. But eventually the number will be close to 1,500 pages. If you use the toner saver mode then it may reach 2,000 pages. Additionally, the drum (DR-2365) which houses the toner will also have to be replaced after every 12,000 prints. The print speed is impressive. It can print 30 (A4) or 32 (Legal) pages in a minute. I have printed 750 pages at once all under 30 minutes. I haven’t had a single paper jam or any other issue while doing it and in all the 6 months use. This implies reliability.

Compatible refills and cartridges are easily available for this model and costs a fraction of what an original toner cartridge (costs Rs. 3,000) would! Compatibles will affect the print quality to an extent and depending on their quality and how the cartridge is refilled, it may cause leaks within the printer. Therefore care should be taken regarding this. Do note that compatibles will void the printer’s warranty. So it would be better to go for compatibles after the warranty period. Being compact, it occupies less space. It comes in a two tone appearance (Black and Grey) and doesn't have wireless printing. The similar all black colour Brother Laser Printer HL-L2366DW is actually a different model with wireless printing. So don’t expect this model to come in an all black colour.

Check whether the printer has any defects upon delivery. If defective, get it replaced within the 10 days replacement period to avoid complications. As for the printer's maintenance, it is very important to locate the printer in an open area or room to prevent overheating. Make sure that the printer’s sides have enough gap to allow cooling. Finally ensure that the printer is covered when it isn’t in use to protect it from dust. These simple things will give the printer longevity. Brother has produced a very good duplex printer that is affordable and reliable and I can assure you that this printer is a perfect fit for a small office or for your home. If you are looking for an affordable duplex printer, this printer is a fantastic buy and a no brainer!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
======================
A lot of home users want a Multi-Function printer. Though they are useful and save space, they have many cons. They are expensive and come with inferior quality scanners and copiers (High Quality and Durable MF Printers are even more expensive!). Besides these scanners break down easily. If the printer function is working fine despite a disfunctional scanner, repairing the scanner can cause complications to it. To be brief, it’s hard to repair either the printer or scanner in a MF Printer! If you really need a scanner, go for a stand alone scanner. Opting for a single function printer will be cheaper and easier to maintain and repair. Additionally compared to a MF Printer, you will get better stand alone products for a lesser price!

UPDATE AS OF 01/03/2019
======================
It has been 20 months since I bought this printer. I am happy to tell you that it works very well to date. During this period, I bought the Apple leaders Printer Dust Cover for Brother HL-L2321D - Blue in order to protect the printer from dust. Throughout this time, this printer has proven to be durable and reliable and so I can once again reiterate that this is a reliable and an affordable duplex printer!

Purchased this superb printer in Diwali sale and got 10% off on price of 7499/- i.e at 674 effective price.. Today on Diwali, got it delivered..

I must tell that I was and to some extent sceptical and scared that how will such a low cost printer handle duplex printing over the years.. Let's see..

Initial thoughts :

1. Installation was a breeze.. All the things were guided nicely by the guide papers, paper cut-out indicators etc.
2. Print quality is awesome.. Printed around 500 pages as soon as I got hands over it..
3. Single side print speed is around 30 ppm as advertised.. It litterally throws paper like bullets, such excellent sppeds..
4. Double side print speed is on a little lower side at around 8 sec per print i.e around 7.5 ppm..
5. All error handling lights and LEDs are very user friendly as well as status monitor (for Windows) is nice and concise way of seeing what printer is doing now..
6. Build quality is as per the best printers in market.. no cheap material whatsoever at any part of the body.. (By looks, it looks like a 17k - 20k printer..

More updates when I use it more.. ( I've at least 10k pages to print ASAP, that would test the printer and toner/drum extensively..😉

Print quality is best but pls consider the following information
1. U have mentioned that this printer contains 2600 pages inbox toner. But it failed to print even 1000 (includes back to back) pages. Til the replacement of new toner it wont works.
2. Pls provide the correct information. If its potential is to print 1000 pages pls mention the same info. Providing of Wrong information may lead to loss reputation and sometimes would also leads to face the legal actions.
Hence provide the guinuine info. As u advertise.

I have purchase this printer in May 2019 its more than 2 months and is working perfectly.
No issue aroused so far.
You can refill its cartridge by yourself or get it refilled in market which will cost around ₹300-400 which is 8 times cheaper than the new brother cartridge and print quality is almost same.
It is a duplex printer i.e. prints simultaneously on both sides of paper. The print speed is highly satisfying.
I have printed 550 pages at one go without any page stuck.
The no. Of pages that can be printed in 1 cartridge depends on what you print i.e. printing text only will allow you to print around 1500-1600 pages (this is just an approx. idea as i have not counted the no. Of pages printed)
if you print pages with images you will end up your cartridge with less no. of printed pages.
It also depends on whether you turned on toner saver mode or not.
Also dont forget to turn on duplex mode before printing.
I will update this review after some time when my cartridge will be finished and will let to know the no. Of pages it prints in 1 full cartridge.
Hope it will help you.
