I ordered this product for my Brother HL-2170W printer. Upon removing this cartridge from its packaging and comparing it to my OEM Brother TN-360 cartridge, I was struck by how different the profiles of the two cartridges were. The original cartridge is slightly larger, and has hubs that hold it in position, plus a locking tab that ensures that the cartridge locks into the drum assembly with a satisfying "click." For those HL-2170 owners out there, you will recognize this as being the tab that ensures that you cannot pull the cartridge out until you depress the little green release lever on the left hand side of the drum assembly. This cartridge has no such tab, nor hubs for that matter. For a while I wondered if I was sent the wrong product, and was a little afraid to install it in my printer for fear that I might break my printer.
When I decided to install the cartridge into the drum assembly, the cartridge fit loosely in the assembly, and I had to press it into place, forming a sort of "friction fit." The instructions on the cartridge, in fact, say to "press the handle of the cartridge until it is placed properly." There was no "click" of the locking tab, and indeed, on my first attempt to slide the drum assembly back into the printer, the cartridge shifted out of position. I pushed the cartridge back in place and reinstalled the drum assembly, but my printer did not recognize the new cartridge until I turned it off and back on again (I don't usually have to do this with OEM cartridges).
Bottom line: the cartridge does work, but I have concerns about its ability to stay in place. If price is your primary concern, this product is untouchable, but if you want it to fit like an OEM, look elsewhere.
UPDATE 6/23/11: This cartridge lasted 18 months, with moderate usage. All in all it probably printed around 3000 pages of text and line drawings (no images). The cartridge stayed in place after the initial scary period, and I'm happy to say that I'll be ordering another cartridge.
UPDATE 1/14/12: This one had a much shorter life, although I'm trying to figure out if I just went through heavier usage. Regardless, it worked well, and the price is still untouchable. I have a sneaking suspicion that these remanufactured cartridges are a mixed bag, so it's possible that the results will vary from cartridge to cartridge. From what I've seen of other reviews, some other customers have received cartridges that look different from the 2 that I've purchased thus far, so "your results may vary!"

Glad I took a chance and ordered two of these yesterday, to get nearly free express shipping on the second.
Already delivered in good packaging, already ran the 270-page print job I needed today, just fine from first page to last on cheap copy paper. All that under $60, which was less than the price of the Brother HL 2140 printer--which I bought because it was cheaper than buying a single toner for my old printer! Yes, the economics of this industry are a bit screwy.
Installed easily and with perfect fit once I figured out a couple of things [my first time replacing HL 2140 toner]:
1. Ignore the instruction on the toner box cover to remove 'sealing tape'--there isn't one;
2. What you pull out of the printer is toner cartridge + print drum. You need to separate the two, you keep using the existing drum. Put the new cartridge back in the drum assembly, and clean the drum's 'corona wire' by sliding a colored tab at the front from right to left several times [I did 6].
I wonder if this drum disassembly and reassembly is why some reviewers failed to get a good fit? It's the first time I've had to do that with a printer, and it wasn't obvious at first glance--thanks to one of the reviews here for clarifying it.
For budget work, this toner is first class.

After owning perhaps 20 printers and always using the manufacturer's ink/toner I inadvertently ordered a generic toner cartridge for my Brother laser printer and darned if it doesn't work the same as the original cartridge (which was a partial cartridge that came with the printer). I have friends who have used generic for years and they have been happy, too. I plan on continuing to try the generics until I get burned and plan to enjoy the money saved in the process. Perhaps I can not be a part of the razor and razor blade racket any longer.

Avoid! Stay away!
This generic cartridge has very different dimension from the TN360. Will not work w/ my Brother HL-2170W. Back it goes.

What you get is what you paid for
I strongly recommend you to stay away from this non-quality, generic product. It worked okay only for up to 50 pages or so, then all bad things that you can imagine occurred. Read more

Great toner
Didn't know about generic toners before. This works great and i don't notice the difference in quality. Also, seems to have a long life after a couple of months now. Read more

Big savings -- no problem
I was skeptical at first because usually buy the named brand products but thought, due to the savings would give it a try. Easy installation and no problems.
