review

By M. David Stone

If you're looking for an all-in-one (AIO) for your small or home office, or to serve as a personal AIO in a larger office, the Brother MFC-5440CN ($130 street) is bound to catch your eye. Not only is the price right for those on a tight budget, the printer also offers all the right functions for an office. It's also suitably compact, at 10.6 by 18.1 by 17.0 inches—easy to squeeze onto crowded desks.

Bottom Line

The Brother MFC-5440CN's truckload of features includes a network connector and automatic document feeder, but it's notably slow, and its output quality is slightly below par.

Pros

Prints, scans, faxes from PC. Standalone copier and fax machine. Network connector. Automatic document feeder.

Cons

Slow for both business applications and photos. Output quality is below par.
