[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very intrigued to receive this Brother HL-L2500DWE Mono Laser Printer as I had recently started working from home and have been using the library for any printing of documents and postage labels and was unsure whether it would be better to have a printer available at home.
I wasn't dissappointed at all.
When I unboxed the printer I was surprised at how compact it was. It fits perfectly in my work space without being imposing but is still very robust and good quality.
In the box there were three parts. The printer itself, The power cable and toner cartridge. There was also a easy to read user guide and warranty information and also information about the Eco pro subscription.
The power cable slots in easily and the cable is a good length.
The toner cartridge is super easy to fit as it literally just pushes in, you have some blue tape to indicate which part to pull down which is at the top of the printer itself.
I then downloaded the mobile connect app to set up the connection for WiFi. It was super easy and explained well in layman's terms. There is a small display on the printer itself which also let's you know it's ready, sleeping or printing.
The paper tray is easy to use and has some handy movable clips so you can adjust to paper size and it also holds a significant amount (I used 30 sheets of A4 initially ). The tray is located at the front of the printer directly underneath the pull down slot for the toner.
I was able to print 7 documents in a couple of seconds which was unbelievable. Blink and you missed it! I haven't used the double sided option yet but I will do over the next week or two.
I am so impressed by the size, speed, quality and ease of use of this printer so a definite game changer for me. It's safe to say I won't be going to the library to print again.
The Eco pro subscription comes with a free trial and the charges after are competitive whilst taking out the hassle of going to buy replacement toner as it comes straight to your door.
I'm really happy with this printer as a good office set up at home.
