Summary: Worked Great --- for a while
Comment: We have had our 2800 for about a year and a half now. For about the first 9 months of light use, it worked just great. Nice copies, faxes were fine. Then white lines showed up on every copy or fax, and nothing the manual recommended got rid of them. We put up with lousy copies for about six months now,and I just recently learned from calling tech support that the white lines are from a worn out drum. Replacing the drum turns out to cost MORE than the price of a new unit (go figure). I also learned that the drums are only designed to last a year at most. So... if you want a disposable fax machine that you throw out after a year, get this one. If not, forget it.

Summary: unreliable w/high-cost of ownership in heavy-duty environmnt
Comment: We'll give the unit two stars instead of one, since when it does work, it works well, with nice print-outs.
But in a span of two+ years, its has needed its drum replaced three times. And has once needed the main system/circuit board replaced. We'd purchased this back when it cost about $125 more than it does now. And the parts have not been quickly available from some vendors. We should have bought the heavier-duty Brother 4750 which we use in another office, and has been flawless.

Summary: NOT SUITABLE FOR MODERATE TO HIGH USAGE!
Comment: If you're going to use this machine for light use, it probably is suitable. However, we receive about 50 fax pages per day, which to me is a moderate amount of pages. Within one year of purchasing this machine, we now find that the drum cartridge needs to be replaced. Not a biggie??? Guess again! A drum cartridge for this questionable quality machine costs $175.00. Couple this cost with the fact that the hand set only works when the connecting cord is in certain positions... and you'll figure out why the future of my Brother PPF-2800 will be as a an anchor for my remote controlled sailboat.

Summary: Works well for us
Comment: We've had the 2800 for several months and it has worked well. Distinctive ring works every time. Setup was easy. Rarely the autofeed takes more than one sheet at a time. Overall, we're impressed. For a small office or home office, it's a great fax. The only drawback we encountered was that the initial toner cartridge doesn't last long so be prepared to replace it soon.
Customer Rating:
Summary: One page at a time works great
Comment: I've had many fax machines and this one, when it worked, certainly wasn't the worst of the bunch. Problem is, the auto document feed tray is cheesy. No matter how many times I smoothed, then fanned the paper, it would accept two to five sheets at a time. If I fed one at a time, this unit worked like a champ. Unfortunately, that can be said of most units. I've had good Brother machines in the past, and probably will buy another, better, Brother fax. This one got me so frustrated I threw it out the back door. It's still laying there, only there seems to be more pieces now.
