Help, looking for laser printer recommendations, rough around 100-200 range? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

There’s so many models and companies these days and hard to know what’s quality and refills won’t cost an arm and a leg, or what long term will last at least half a decade. Previously went with Inkjet printers, but I’m done with them since I rarely print photos. TIA for any recommendations and thoughts on your experiences on this!

Brother Printer RHLL2320D Compact Laser Printer with Duplex Printing (Renewed) https://a.co/d/cw90xah

This thing is as reliable as you can get with reloadable parts that you can get from 3rd party vendors.

Every additional bell and whistle is an additional potential point of failure, so this thing is pretty lightweight and lacks any frills.

Brother printers are easily within 100-200.

Are you even looking at them?

Seconded, that beast (well, one of its predecessors) got me through college on the included toner cartridge alone and it's still kicking

Best printer 20XX: just buy this Brother laser printer everyone has, it’s fine

Just read this article and don't worry about it

Seconded. I have one of the compact Brother laser printers and it works nicely
