5.0 out of 5 stars Great machine that does what it should, June 30, 2002

By	Kade Mendelowitz (Fairbanks, AK USA) - See all my reviews

I love my Brother 885 Fax machine and message center. This is a great machine that I use for a small home business, and it does what it is suppose to do very well. I always get my messages and faxes, its memory works as a backup if you run out of paper, and it has a blinking light if you get a message (a feature I use to take for granted before trying Panasonic and Sharp machines that didn't have this feature, and many paper jams!)
I don't use the phone handset, which seems flimsy, but again; this is primarily a fax and message center!

5.0 out of 5 stars Low operating cost!, January 1, 2002

By A Customer

I have many different types of low priced fax machines. Many are expensive to operate. The brother machines, when using the refills is much more economical than other brands. Not to mention that for [amt] more than the 775 Brother, throw's in an answering machine. I found that you can adjust the incoming fax quality by selecting super fine mode, this prints in a higher resolution than the normal mode and show's greater detail when recieving.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Choice for Busy Office, May 4, 2004

By	Robin Ballard (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This machine actually has a piece of carbon paper on a roll that you have to re-roll or replace every time it runs out. It's unbelievable in this information age to have to deal with such a rinky-dink set-up. The copies aren't consistent at all. There are much better choices available.
