The Brother MFC-7860DW and its autodocument feeder, wireless connectivity, and simple installation make it an apt match for small businesses with moderate printing needs.

This multifunction printer keeps its promises when it comes to speed and size. It will do for anyone looking for an affordable all-in-one device with low printing costs, but the poor printing quality doesn't make it useful for much more than basic text.

The Brother MFC-7860DW multi-function, monochrome laser printer offers a good range of features and is speedy too. It's expensive, though, and its graphics quality isn't great.

This type of multifunction printer is now a pretty mature product, so you wouldn't expect Brother to make any major errors in its design. You won't see any in the MFC-7860DW, which is a well made, quick and very functional piece of office equipment. It falls down a bit on the quality of copies with any greyscale content, but the main negative is its asking price, which appears high, given its feature set. Even allowing for duplex print, which isn't available in every multifunction printer, it’s hard to justify nearly £300.
