Customer Review: Brother DR520 - Replacement Drum Cartridge
Summary: 3 Stars
Originally when I ordered this item I received an email with the shipping and tracking number information. By the last day of the estimated delivery date according to Amazon I called to check on the status because I hadn't received the item nor was the tracking information useful. After Toner4Sale did some research they told me it wasn't ever shipped. They immediately shipped another drum out and sent me a free shipping coupon code to redeem on my next purchase. They were very nice and apologetic with the whole situation and I do understand that things happen so overall I would recommend them to other people and order from them again.Customer Review: Almost the cost of a new printer
Summary: 1 Stars
This drum goes VERY fast. Our office replaces 1 drum for every 2.5 toner cartridges for the HL5240 printer. So you're looking at getting maybe 18,000 prints per drum (even though it advertises 25,000). The price of a brand new Brother HL-5240 High-Speed Desktop Office Laser Printer, which comes with this drum and a toner cartridge, is actually almost the same price as buying the toner and drum separately. So anyone who needs a toner and drum at the same time should just buy the printer, since it's like getting a printer for free.Customer Review: Oh, Brother; DR520 drum
Summary: 3 Stars
The Brother DR520 drum was advertised as 25000 pages typical use. I did not get to 9000 before the left side of the paper started to have a permanent black streak that kept getting wider and wider. By 10000 pages, the drum on that side was "slap wore out" as they say around here. I give the drum a one out of five stars. On the other hand, the replacement was dropped in and it printed like new again, so a five for ease of replacement. Overall I will give it the average of the two, a three star rating.Customer Review: Buyer Beware. Drum cartridge only. No toner cartridge included
Summary: 4 Stars
Minus one star - minus one hoped for toner cartridge.
No toner included, despite a confusing product description that suggests this boxed item comes with a toner cartridge and an Amazon review claiming the combined toner and drum cartridge made for a low cost OEM replacement package.
Otherwise, good-to-go, dependable, crisp, two-sided printing as hoped for from a cost-effective small business, workhorse truckin' laser printer--a dime sparing Brother HL-5250DN.
Customer Review: Works well for me
Summary: 4 Stars
This drum works fine for me. It lasts about 30,000 pages, or 6 months, and is an acceptable lifetime.
What most people don't realize is that when you buy other similar printers, you end up paying much more for your toner and drums because the drum unit is part of the toner cartridge. Brother splits them out to keep the cost of your toner cartridges down.
I've found that the annual toner + drum cost for a HL-5240 is about 30% less than the toner for a similar HP.
