Brother MFC-J1010DW

Easy to use ; Fax modem, if you need it ; Wi-Fi connectivity ; Decent paper handling

Tricky to find drivers ; Running costs could be lower ; Print, scans and copies are adequate rather than great ; Flair-free zone

The Brother MFC-J1010DW has everything your home office needs – except style. Get past its cloud-grey plastic and it’s a competent printer, scanner, copier and fax machine at a reasonable price; but it doesn’t do anything brilliantly.

Affordable ; Useful features

Dull photo print quality ; Underwhelming scanning capabilities ; Unappealing design
