Brother IntelliFAX 1820C Plain Paper Inkjet Fax

The Bottom Line: Do not buy this product as you will be spending a fortune on ink.

Review: First off, although I have never written a review for a product online before, I've relied on many reviews to make a purchase and do see the value in them. But I feel so strongly about this Fax machine as being a complete waste of money that I feel...

Review: Guess I'm not the only one with problems with the machine. It eats cartridges with nonsensical self cleaning of print heads. It is not user friendly. You don't want to lose the book. The user manual doesn't guarantee you'll figure out what needs to...

Review: Well don't I feel the absolute idiot! Should have read all this before I bought the stupid machine. Nothing different to add from New Zealand. Eats ink, cleans like a maniac and now for some obscure reason one of the colors won't print even though...

Review: It's very bad how it uses ink to clean it's self. Mine ran out of color (which I had not used) and would not print a black only fax, so I put black electrical insulation tape over the side facing forward and told the machine it had a new ink...

The Bottom Line: Badly designed

Review: The Brother intellifax 1820 seems to have been badly designed; it has a decent print quality but it 'breaks' easily and uses ink at a high rate. This model is no longer in production by Brother; documents and drivers still seem to be available from...

Review: Wow, this is the biggest waste of money I have ever encountered. Not only does it waste ink like it's going out of style but it "eats" paper just as bad! Every time I try to fax it sucks up ALL the pages at once rather than feeding them one at a...

Review: I've just replaced a cartridge in this piece of sh*t, but DIDN'T remove the strip of adhesive paper that covers the ink-hole. I just trimmed the loose bit off.

So far so good! The 'ink empty' message has gone, and it's printing fine, in...

Review: This machine is not worth a penny. It was purchased less than 6 months ago and it has given us nothing but problems. It states ink cartridges are empty, but they are not. And every time we change one here, the cartridge doesn't want to align so then...

Review: BAD product! Just like HP inkjets, you have to keep feeding it ink cartridges. I cannot clear error 41, and I noticed that daily (at about 3 AM) the printer goes through a complete clean cycle. This eats ink up at a huge rate. There is a tray under...

Review: I have to agree with the previous reviewer. This machine is terrible. I NEVER use color printing options, but the machine is always prompting me to replace "empty" ink cartridges ($20 a piece). To make matters worse, it will not copy or print until...
