Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Brother FAX-575 Personal Fax, Phone, and Copier
Customer Review: Does the job well for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I replaced a comparable HP fax machine with this one because the HP used an expensive inkjet cartridge that dries up if you don't receive a fax or make a copy regularly. This Brother fax machine does not have this problem, the ribbon cartridge does not dry up, which is nice. Also, you can roll back the ribbon cartridge and use it again to save some money. This works fine although technically the more you use it over again, the worse quality of your incoming faxes and copies would be. The fact that I can use the cartridge more than once is a real plus since I'm very into saving money. Also, a replacement cartridge is less than $19. at the time of this review, whereas the replacement HP fax inkjet cartridge is over $30.!
For a light duty home office, this fax machine gets the job done at a good price.
Customer Review: satisfactory performance
Summary: 4 Stars
I seldom use this fax machine, so my review isn't weighty, but Amazon keeps asking for my review...
It works fine. Setup can be a little tricky, but the manual is thorough if you have the patience to read it. Once you get the hang of the machine it works pretty good.
This machine uses a roll of carbon paper, not toner or inkjet. This is an advantage if you don't use it often; the ink doesn't dry out, but the roll has to be replaced frequently if you use the machine much.
I re-rolled the carbon paper and reused it once to save going to the store for another roll with minimal diminution of quality. The second time I re-rolled it, quality dropped off sharply, so now I need to get to the store.
Not too shabby a machine for not too shabby a price.
Customer Review: Not 3 stars, more like 2 1/2...
Summary: 3 Stars
I just bought this for 37.99 brand new, including shipping and taxes.. so for the PRICE I paid for it, I really am not too dissapointed.. It works well at SENDING faxes, the printer part of the fax is not good... It prints very poorly(in my opinion). It is LEGIBLE, but it's a really grainy printing...I sent a multiple fax, and that worked fine, so for 37 bucks, and if you dont use it on a REGULAR basis, I'd say this works, but had I known a head of time about how bad it PRINTS, I probably would have paid 30-40 bucks more for a little better one. Functionality wise, it all works fine, I'm just not crazy about how it prints.I just bought the Brother 3360C-All-In-One, its WAY better, so I suggest you get that instead.Customer Review: Worse Amazon Experience
Summary: 1 Stars
This is my worse purchase from Amazon.
The product was delivered after a long delay. Finally when it arrived, it was in a broken box. Once I opened, it looked like a used product that was repacked to make it like new. Once I hooked it up, the fax # display sometimes shows the number and at other times the display shows partial fax numbers.
I have used Brother Products before and has always been satisified with their other products/services in the past.
I am totally dissatisfied with this vendor and urge all not to purchase from this vendor in future.
Amazon needs better quality control when they let this sort of private sellers sell stuff on amazon.
Customer Review: Jamming problem
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a nice and compact fax machine and very cheap especially if you buy the off-brand toner for $5 each. The main problem I had was it keeps registering the document jam even if there was nothing there. And it would not clear it unless you open the cover. I could NOT use it until that is done and the jam message gone. I called Brother about it and they sent me a replacement that works (refurbished one). I have Vonage and I was not able to get it to work. My faxes went through on my line but got a message that says Poor line. And the recepient never received my faxes. Oh, well. Vonage said that they can get it to work, but I gave up. I am now using the Brother fax as a photocopier. Good luck!
