This is the best MFC out there -- no question. It scans at lightening speeds with the automatic sheet feeder. The printer prints very fast too at 21 ppm. Terrific controls, with multi-line display. This machine is built to last. I spent several months comparing all of the MFCs out there. I really needed a good scanner with a sheet feeder, but wanted to have the flexibility of a flat bed (for things that won't feed through a scanner. This unit does it all. Brother is definitely leading the way with this one!

This cartridge works as advertised. I've had it last a full 450 pages - the cartridge is easy to replace - the cartridge is quick to replace (unless you're an engineer and feel that you have to study the entire mechanism).

The quality produced exceeds ink jet, and based on the material I send and receive it's quicker than ink jet.

I just can't find a down side here.

It's one of the easiest-to-install cartidges that I've ever used and produces clean, crisp hard copies with no hassles. Old one snaps out, new one snaps right into place.

My wife wanted 1 thing for her birthday... a labeler to organize our home files, etc. when I presented the PT-1180 to her she danced with glee and ran off to play with it like a child with a new toy. Soon my teen-age daughters were begging to borrow it, but they had to wait their turn. The easy to use interface, the simple operation, and the great results kept me running to their shouts to see what else it can do.

We just ordered one for the office as a result. Maybe I can get a turn?

My boss bought one of these things for the office as part of an effort to keep things organized and identified. While I resented this new part of my job description, I found the Brother PT-2600 Labeling machine easy to use and extremely handy. I eventually bought one for myself for my home office. Now all my manuscripts, floppies, CDs, and tapes are clearly labeled. It's a great tool!

The thing that keeps one from being an organizer or a neat nick is the effort it takes easer just knowing where something is. These tapes change the formula to "it is easer to label than to guess."
At home these labels make more efficient replace the labels on videos; you can see the title from across the room. At work we use the labels on files, printers, cabinets, and many more locations.
The Brother P-Touch brand of TZ tape works so well that there is no need to venture into "cheap land" and who knows what lack of quality one would find.

The quarter inch size is the perfect size for the spines of the CD jewel cases. I use them all of the time to label my CDRs. Good for other small jobs too.

Picked one of these up today and just finished putting it together. It's an amazingly solid piece, and definately capable of taking a good bit of abuse. In my particular case, I have two PC's sharing it, using the side printer stands for LCD monitors, and there's plenty of room for both systems. This piece also comes with 4 cable channels that you can attach on the back, and with the way it's designed, it's very easy to hide the cables from the upper shelves and route them to the backpanel.

As a bonus, the height of the work surface is sufficent that the mounted keyboard tray doesn't constantly bump into my knees, which at 6'2" and with a pretty large chair, is a definate advantage over my old desk.

One thing that did go wrong was that the finish on the right side panel was busted and splintered at some point during shipping. Fortunately, Bush has a great replacement part policy - just give them a call (24/7 number), give them your shipping address and part number, and they ship out a replacement that day, with 2-3 day delivery, and at no charge and no hassle.

Assembling will take an hour or two of solid screwdriver work, but it wasn't really that all that hard. All the pieces fit together perfectly without having to apply too much force or having to jam anything together. It is pretty heavy at 75 pounds, and will likely require 2 people to move the carton before it's unpacked, so be prepared if you have to move the carton up stairs. Also, the depth of the desk is about 32 inches, which was a bit too wide for the 30 inch doorway to my bedroom, so plan ahead for where you're going to assemble and put it. There's also plenty of plastic 'end caps' to hide the exposed bolt locks, but I've only found 4 that are visable if the back is against a wall, and those are pretty hard to spot as it is.

In short, it's a very solid, very attractive piece. If you're willing to invest the time and effort to assemble it, it will be worth it, and should be a piece you'll be happy with for a while.

I bought Bushnell Yardage Pro Tour unit through adorama.com on 5/17/2004 and it arrived with no problems. You get an email with order confirmation and when you log into your account there is a link to ups tracking number. Someone posted a negative comment about them not having a phone number listed but at their site but I see the phone number listed on every single page so I think that that comment is wrong. Their prices are lowest I could find and I had no problems with order/delivery at all. Bushnell Yardage Pro Tour unit is great for golf. It is compact and extremely easy to use. I use it on the driving range with all my clubs. You can easily get a distance for any visible target on the range (tree, bunker, flag, slopes) and figure out the exact club you need for that distance. Knowing the exact distance a ball will travel has helped my game a lot. This unit is the great!

I received one of these radios as a gift, and being in Oklahoma we have serve storms and tornados this time of year and loose electrical power. This radio is wonderful, and such a sense of security when the power goes out. I would recommend it to everyone!
