Our Verdict

Canon imageCLASS MF3010

Brother HL-L2460DW [HL-L2400D, HL-L2405W]

The Brother HL-L2460DW is better than the Canon imageCLASS MF3010. The Brother feels better built, is compatible with a full-featured mobile app, and prints faster, though the Canon does take less time to initialize. The Canon also features a flatbed scanner, so it's a much better fit if you need to digitize documents regularly.
