It's Good For: Home, Gifts, Office, Replacement
I've been very satisfied with the purchase of the Brother MFC-790cw. I needed the wireless capability so that when I created a document using my laptop, I wouldn't have to transfer it to a flash drive and then to my desktop to print it. The wireless was very easy to set up and it works great. There is a bit of a lag in the transfer from pc to printer, but it isn't bad and it works as it was intended. It has definitely saved me a few steps and has been much more convenient for me.
The printer's overall set-up took me about 30 minutes from opening the box to final set-up! Not bad at all! And it also has the USB and SD Card readers as well as PictBridge capability. The fax is great and easy to use as well. The printer also scans and copies! In fact, the printer does so much, I've been looking for the "cook me breakfast" button (LOL)!
I had read previous reviews about a squeaking noise when it prints, but I haven't noticed any squeaking from mine. It runs much quieter than the printer it replaced. It also has the phone attached to the fax, but it can be removed if you don't want or need the extra handset. It will even serve as an answering machine and stores a limited number of faxes for printing later if needed. I also like the look of the printer and the touchscreen is a very nice addition as well!
