Can someone recommend me a color laser printer that is good for home use? Just the normal functions needed, print on both sides, wifi. I am tired of the ink jet printers and their costly ink that only seems to print 50 pages and then runs out.

I’m a fan of Brother models. They last and have had no issues. I upgraded to an all in one 2 years ago for scanning and fax capabilities.

I have had a brother mfc-9130cw for about 4 years now. I bought toner once...... and I have 3 kids who like to print random crap. Extremely happy with it.

I've had color lasers for my home office until I bought my current HP 7612 ink jet that can print up to 13"x19", which I have a need for. I do have to replace the ink often but I found a good 3rd party ink that is not expensive at all. I had a dell color laser I bought in 2000 that lasted until 2014....great printer but in the end it was going to be expensive to repair. Bought a brother color laser that lasted about 2 years and in that time I had to replace the toners which was $$$$$. Replacing ink is nothing compared to toners and drums.

We have a Brother MFC-L8850CDW at our office. It works well and we haven’t had to change the toner yet since we bought it in June. Bought it at Office Depot for around 400-500 I believe. Thinking about getting a second one.

Look into HPs. I have a Color LaserJet 2600n that is probably 10 years old now and still works great. The only thing it doesn't have that I wish it did was duplex printing.

Toner lasts a pretty good while, but is expensive to replace.
