Budget Laser Printer

[Sushubh]

I currently have a Ricoh SP111. I have refilled the toner two times using the official pack provided by the company. Company recommends replacing the toner cartridge after two refills, so I have been looking for it for a while now. The company products seem to have disappeared from all online stores. I plan to check if toner cartridge is available through my hardware guy when the lockdown is over. But I am also considering getting a new model with AIO features. Brother is a recommended brand on reddit when it comes to laser printers, so I looked into their models. I also got pricing from my hardware guy before the lockdown, but I guess those prices might change by the time lockdown is over.

Here are the models I got details of…

Brother HL-L2321D Single-Function Monochrome Laser Printer with Auto Duplex Printing
Rs. 7850

Brother DCP-L2520D Multi-Function Monochrome Laser Printer with Auto-Duplex Printing
Rs. 12000

Brother DCP-B7535DW Wireless Multi-Function Centre with Automatic 2-Sided Printing
Rs. 17300

Brother DCP-L2541DW Multi-Function Wireless Monochrome Laser Printer with Network & Auto Duplex Printing
Rs. 17900

Brother DCP-L2531DW Mono Laser Multi-Function Printer
Rs. 13900

Amazon pricing was around the same at that time so both options are available. I would probably pick from the base two models as my requirements are rather simple. Was just wondering if anyone here has any experience with Brother laser models or has recommendations to go for something else.

Brother has duplex printing. This is the main reason we went for it over HP and Canon.
