Six reasons why the Samsung ML-3051N is better than the Brother HL-5250DN
|
I looked at all the basic mono laser printers in the $200 range before I chose the Samsung ML-3051N. For some reason, the most popular model was the Brother HL-5250DN. Just compare the number of customer reviews of that model compared to this one and you'll see that it's a very popular printer.
There's only one feature that the Brother has that this one doesn't - duplex. And since I didn't need duplexing I looked at both machines as potentially equal. They weren't. Here's six reasons why the Samsung is better:
1. It doesn't cause a power drain during printing. Unlike the Brother (read the Brother reviews for more info). This was a major issue for me as I live in an older house and only a few appliances can be used at any one time.
2. It has a small 3" long/two line digital status window which provides more info and makes it easier to program. The Brother only has a couple of status lights.
3. It has a toner saving function that reduces output by 40% which saves money. According to CNET, this makes printing on the Samsung a little over 1 cent per page. I've used this with basic text and the pages look just fine for my needs - invoices. (Unfortunately, you really won't be able to use this for more formal documents as there is a slightly faded look.)
4. It typically costs less. When Amazon itself has it in stock (they seem to be out of stock every few weeks) the price is well below $200.
5. It has 64MB of built in memory, twice that of the Brother.
6. It's maximum monthly duty cycle is 35,000 pages compared to the Brother's 20,000 pages. (This isn't actually as big a deal for me since I only print about 1000 pages a month.)
Even the Brother's alleged advantage of duplexing is suspect. Multiple reviewers have indicated that the Brother curls the paper when duplexing.
I know one reviewer has indicated problems with the manual feed. Since I don't need that function it doesn't matter to me either way.
So far I'm extremely pleased with this purchase. |
