Brother MFC-J470DW
The home inkjet all-in-one market continues to be a crowded one and the sub-£100 arena is one of the keenest price brackets. Brother's MFC-J470DW is aimed at home office workers rather than the photo enthusiast and includes fax and an automatic...
Full fax functions ; High yield cartridge option ; Compact design
No multi-purpose feed ; No front-panel USB/card slots ; Very slow wireless print
The Brother MFC-J470DW is a good, general-purpose SOHO all-in-one, not excelling in any particular area, but competent in most. It would be good to have a front USB socket for direct print and scan, a single-sheet feed for letterheads and special media...

Brother MFC-J470DW review
The Brother MFC-J470DW is an easy-to-use multifunction inkjet printer that also operates as a dedicated fax machine, copier and scanner. Its list price is $100 (£108, AU$149), but it's widely available online for up to 30 percent less. The MFC-J470DW...
The Brother MFC-J470DW boasts fast print speeds, cloud connectivity, Apple AirPrint and Google Chrome Print compatibility, four separate ink tanks, and a supremely low cost of consumables.
The cheap rubber buttons and an overall plastic feel of the unit don't transcend its bargain price tag.
If you only have $100 to spend on a multifunction inkjet printer for the office, you'll have a hard time finding a faster performer with ink refills as cheap as the Brother MFC-J470DW.

The Brother MFC-J470DW multifunction device follows the normal convention of mounting an A4 flatbed scanner on top of an inkjet printer. Along with the usual functions of Scan, Print and Copy, the device adds Fax, Duplex, ADF (Automatic Document...
