Our Verdict

HP LaserJet M209dwe

Brother MFC-L2820DW [DCP-L2640DW, HL-L2480DW]

The Brother MFC-L2820DW is better than the HP LaserJet M209dwe for most uses. The Brother has a sturdier build, a better display, superior print quality, and faster printing speed. It also has an ADF-equipped scanner with fax functionality and optical character recognition, whereas the HP doesn't have a scanner. The HP yields more prints, so it won't cost as much in replacement toner; however, its drum is integrated into the cartridge, which can be a hassle, as you would have to throw out the whole cartridge if the drum gets damaged, potentially wasting toner.
