Brother MFC-490CW Pro Reviews

www.trustedreviews.com‘s review Edit

Overall, the MFC-490CW looks like a better deal to us than the MFC-990CW. Although it can only use standard-yield cartridges and has no answering device or portable phone, you can buy both of these separately for less than the difference in price between the two machines. The print quality and speed of these Brother all-in-ones isn't up to what Canon or HP routinely produce, but they’re probably adequate for home and sole-trader business tasks. The convenience of wireless connection, the widescreen LCD display and the comparatively small footprint all work in the MFC-490CW’s favour, as a true multifunction device for home and small business.

reghardware‘s review Edit

Print quality is adequate, but hardly sparkling. Black text is fair, but colour graphics on plain paper are pale and insipid. This is worse when you copy a colour print. Photo prints are bright and smooth, though there’s little point in using ‘Highest’ quality, which is slow, over normal ‘Photo’ quality. Small, neat and cheap to buy - but also slow and very expensive to run.

CNET Reviews‘s review Edit

The Brother MFC-490CW is an improvement over the more expensive MFC-5890CN, but that still doesn't excuse its drudging print speeds and mechanical issues under the hood. Instead of dealing with these headaches, we recommend you look toward the Canon Pixma MX330, which will give you consistent performance and a variety of extra features for the same price.
