Brother Industries Reviews 302

I just called customer service, (Friday 3 pm) the wait time is 2 hours. Think twice (or more times) before buying one!!

Abo-Falle! Nach dem Gelesen bezüglich Qualität muss ich das bestätigen. Drucke sind verschoben und Druckkopfreinigung mit entsprechendem Tonerverbrauch auf der Tagesordnung. Schlimmer noch, sich für das Abo zu entscheiden, das ich gekündigt habe. Patronen wurden von einem auf den anderen Tag einfach durch Brother gesperrt und das ohne Ankündigung! Sorry: hat das Brother nötig? Miserabel. Bei Neukauf werde ich mich an diesen „Kundenservice“ erinnern. Absolut keine Kaufempfehlung Brother … schämt euch

I’m now on my fourth Brother printer. It is shocking to see that a company as large as Brother-USA has such poor customer support. Egregiously understaffed. It’s impossible to reach them by phone without waiting 1-to-2-1/2 hours. Sometimes when they call you back as promised, their phone connection fails and you have to start all over again!

A few days ago, they gave me a coupon for $100 because my new brother printer had problems. But when I tried to use it to buy their toner, it wasn’t honored. When I called to let them know, they said, “Oh, that wasn’t for $100. That was a coupon for $10!” No, I insisted. It says $100 right on the coupon. No matter.
Gosh what a terrible company.

Angelica was amazing she went above and beyond to get my brother printer working on my laptop. Very happy.

I want to express my frustration with the ongoing issues I’ve encountered with my Brother printer. It does not print, has an issue.
Initially, I reached out via chat and followed all the troubleshooting steps provided. After no resolution, I was told to call customer service.
I called customer support and waited on hold for nearly two hours, so I chose to call me back. Unfortunately, they called when I was not at home. The support team informed me that they couldn’t proceed without me being present with the printer.
I then returned to chat support, and the same troubleshooting instruction,only to be asked again to call. I can not wait this long on hold.
Despite trying multiple cables and confirming that the printer is recognized by the driver, the printer still fails to print a test page. I am convinced that the problem is hardware-related, yet I have been repeatedly told otherwise. This cycle of repeating the same steps and being redirected has been both time-consuming and frustrating.
Now I am on the line with a 4-hour estimated waiting time!

I have owned an A3 Brother printer scanner for some time and genuinely loved the machine. However, after a recent MacBook Pro software update, everything changed for the worse. When I urgently needed to scan a document, the printer suddenly forced me to log in and agree to a subscription. Not wanting to be railroaded into this, I tried to dismiss the pop-up, but it wouldn’t budge. In the end, I had to force shut down my laptop, losing three precious hours of my evening.
Frustrated beyond belief, I have now purchased a new printer entirely because I refuse to be held hostage by a subscription service just to scan documents. Brother, in my view, have completely lost their tiny mind. I’m genuinely outraged that a brand I once trusted and loved has stooped to this. My once beloved printer is heading straight to the rubbish bin today.
Brother: you've lost a loyal customer for good.

Suite à un appel au support pour l’installation de mon imprimante, j'ai vécu une expérience client déplorable. Je n'ai jamais été traitée avec autant de mépris : ton condescendant, reproches injustifiés... on m'a fait me sentir totalement dévalorisée.

Résultat : je regrette amèrement mon achat. Si le retour était encore possible, l’imprimante serait déjà repartie. Brother ? Plus jamais.

Brother bietet einen miserablen Support, bzw. er ist nicht vorhanden. Am Anfang wartet man ewig auf eine Antwort, dann soll man innerhalb von Sekunden antworten, erfolgt nach 1 Minute nichts wird der Chat beendet. Ich werde privat und für mein Unternehmen nie wieder Produkte von Brother kaufen.

I bought a Brother printer MFC-J1010DW in May of 2024. Today, I could not get the Brother name brand magenta and cyan ink cartridges to print. I tried to chat about it, they wanted to charge me $5 to do so. Therefore, I called. They wanted to charge to help me. I will NEVER buy a Brother product again, and I would recommend that NO ONE buy their product.

I bought a Brother P-Touch label maker last week. the product insert gave several websites regarding their warranty, which isn't disclosed in the insert. Neither website works, all I got was spinners.

It was very difficult to get to the page where I was supposed to be able to register my product, and when I FINALLY did, I entered the serial number correctly - then received an error that the serial number is invalid, IT'S NOT. I've also not been able to find out what the warranty supposedly is. The websites are primarily geared towards selling users more products.

I've filed a compaint with the BBB in New Jersey against this company, and while there saw other complaints, serious ones. Apparently, if you connect via Bluetooth or other online options (why would I do this for a label maker???) they have disconnected your printer or device, or degraded its performance if you use non-brand tapes or inks. I can tell you their inks are horribly over priced from my prior label maker that finally quit working.
If you buy a Brother printer or other device, I'd advise you to not connect your device to them via the internet or Bluetooth!. Their BBB rating is dismal, and of course they aren't members of the BBB. Figures.

Arnaque et je ne suis pas la seule !!!!
J'ai acheté une imprimante Brothers en octobre 2025 avec remboursement de 80 euros. Il fallait tout envoyé facture RIB etc... après réception j'ai recu un courrier comme quoi le remboursement allait se faire... et depuis j'attends... malgré plusieurs courriers ! Publicité mensongère !!!!!

very bad quality printers. i have bought two of them since 4 years now and i always have problems. i am not buying a Brother printer again.

Imprimante laser après 4000 pages d'impression.
Suite à la derniere mise à jour du micrologiciel l'imprimante ne se met plus sous tension: Il faut proceder à une réinitialisation en débranchant le cordon secteur. Après tout est OK pour la journée.
Le lendemain rebelotte ...
Après plusieurs manipulations (réinit usine etc) appel au SAV pour signaler le pb.
Reponse obtenue : votre appareil n'est plus sous garantie, il s'agit d'un problème mécanique veuillez appeler un dépanneur !
Bref, on se moque du client !

Brother Drucker Trommelfehler - neue Originaltrommel gekauft.
Brother verlangt auf meine Kosten die Trommeln auf meine Kosten Euro 20-
nach Bochum zu senden.
Sie glauben nicht, dass es Original Trommeln sind, obwohl ich Rechnung über Originaltrommel vorgewiesen hatte.
Einfach unterirdisch dieses Service.

We have a Brother Printer and after about 1 year about a total of 50 pages it quit working. What a piece of crap.

I sincerely believe that you have never tested or used the MFC-J5740DW model of your printers/scanners, because if you had, you would have thrown them out the window immediately. I find it incomprehensible that you can sell such a model. I can't judge the other models, but this is my second purchase of this one, and I bitterly regret it. It's just incomprehensible!!! I have no explanation to give, I don't understand. Even a photo taken with my cell phone gives much better results. Please explain to me what is going on?. How can a company of your reputation end up like this?

With many regrets!

For Brother, I’m not sure — I think even one star is too much. They seem interested only in selling their poor-quality printers, but provide no proper phone support when something goes wrong.
No one should buy from them anymore. Maybe then they will realize that selling products also requires real customer support, including phone service for fixing issues.
I will never buy from Brother again.

Ihre Frage:
Hallo, der Drucker kopiert Dokumenten nicht in 1:1 Grösse. Die sind immer kleiner und alle Randen auf der Kopie sind 2mm von der Seitenkante abgeschnitten, also nicht verschoben.
Dazu sind die Linien nicht gerade.
Brother und so ein Schrott.
Hier der Link zu eurem Drucker, sonst kann man euch hier keine Fotos zuschicken.

Bitte den Drucker abholen und einen funktionierenden zuschicken.

Bitte um Bestätigung. „

Ordered a printer and ink. Ink arrived promptly. A month later no sign of printer. Service rep said backordered, waited another week and then they cancelled. Had a phone wait time of a 65 minutes. Will never go to Brother USA again. A negative score would have been better than one star.

Arnaque ODR, comme tous les autres avis, j'ai scrupuleusement rempli les conditions, envoyé les codes-barres et les photos demandées mais je suis allé faire un tour sur le suivi ce jour pour savoir où ça en etait et c'est comme si j'avais rien envoyé , mon adresse mail ne mène à rien. Sales menteurs
