Great value as a home office printer
I bought this printer in 2016 as a laser printer replacement for my home office inkjet printer. With the exception of one feature (double sided printing), this printer has proven itself to be a real workhorse with quality output all the time. The quality of both mono and colour printing is excellent and its print speed is great. Printer cartridges, while quite expensive, seem to last for a good while. With regard to double-sided printing, at first it was flawless. However, around 6 months from purchase, the printer would jam every time I attempted to print on 2 sides. Frustrating, as it did save on paper consumption, but overall it's a small inconvenience for me. Were it not for this problem, I would give the product a 5 star rating as I haven't had a major issue in the 7 years I have owned the printer

So far it meets all our needs for Linux & Windows!
As a Linux (Ubuntu) user, this printer worked from the moment I plugged it in and added to the network. Not the case with our older HP. Could flip a coin if I needed to re-add/configure it at each use. Setting it up with a static IP on Wifi was simple to do on the device. Once connected, all other settings were managed via browser. While I cannot comment on the longevity of the device or toner, the printouts are outstanding. My wife, who is a teacher, uses it far more than I do and since installing it, not once have I had to touch a thing. I will admit, I chose Brother solely on the advice of other Linux users and so glad I did.

Overall ok
Overall I do like this but there is a slight delay in the printer starting to print after having clicked on Print. The colour is not as sharp as it could be.

Reliable and easy to use machine
Used this machine for about 4 months and so far the experience exceeded expectations. Setup was incredibly easy - machine picked up both wired and wireless networks, I never had any problems accessing it from any mobile or desktop device in our household.
Print quality is solid and print speed is impressive.
No complaints :)

Would be 5 stars but....
The only issue we have constantly is the printer cannot remember the internet settings. We have 7 computers that need access to it, but instead of being able to print wirelessly, we all have to go to the machine and plug in. That became old the first day.. ALL updates have been uploaded to the system, but it simply cannot.

Many Years-Many-Products A TRULY OUTSTANDING BRAND
We have 4 ACTIVE Brother Printers as well as 3 prior units. Wouldn't consider any other brand. Quality is always BEYOND EXPECTATIONS. Not a single one of our 7 Brother printers -- and they run the gamut from inexpensive to top of the line -- has failed us for any reason through these past many years. Expendables are reasonably priced, readily available and shipped quickly; moreover, and unlike competitors, generic inks are both compatible and available when immediate needs must be met.
Because our MANY Brother products are superbly designed, we have Never had the need to contact customer support. So, while I cannot speak to support, I can attest to the fantastic quality not just of our printers, but also our sewing machines, sergers, and other Brand items in our household and business operations.
In a word for Brother Products "OUTSTANDING!"

Great printer!!
This printer does a beautiful job. Our last printer would streak and make lines all over the copies. This one has colors where there should be colors and space where there should be space. The colors are bright and solid. Great printer! Wish we would have purchased it earlier instead of fighting our old one for so long.

Very nice printer
I bought this printer mainly for colour copies. The results are very nice and overall I am very satisfied. The only problem which I found difficult to manage is printing photo's from Photoshop and giving it the right colours. What I would prefer is a larger tray, let's say 500 sheets. If I would buy this printer again, I would go for a printer like this with a document feeder. After all I made 30000 copies and still going strong. Love it.

The best color printer I've ever owned!
If you want a great color printer, the Brother HL-L8360CDW is the one for you. The printer is a color laser printer so you will not have to worry about ink drying up in the lines like a inkjet printer. The toner is a little expensive, but typical for the improvement in printer quality.

Good Printer
So far this seems to be a very good color laser printer. It takes a while to find and get the options set correctly, but after the initial setup it works well. I am only giving it a 4 because sometimes it will not pull paper from either tray, I have to go to the printer and click "retry" and this is a brand new printer so this should not be an issue. Also, sometimes (not always) the print jobs print very slowly, but other times they go quickly so I don't know what is going on there. But other than that, it has worked well. I've had no problems printing envelopes which several people have complained about in the reviews. Envelopes work well from the front manual tray without issue. I purchased the optional additional tray and I put checks in the built in tray and paper in the bottom tray and have a different print driver for each tray. That works well with my accounting software so I am loving not having to swap out paper and checks all the time! To be determined how economical the color printing is, we have not printed any big print jobs in color yet to see the usage.

very unhappy
I would give this zero stars if possible. The printer worked fine out of the box. I bought a laser so that toner replacement would be a no-brainer. But ...
I replaced an empty toner cartridge with a new one right out of the Brother box. Followed the instructions. Repeated the procedure a few times. Spent time with chat-support and phone support. Bottom line is that all they can do is to replace the cartridge under warranty. Wait! I bought mine to have it on my shelf when it would be needed. Hence, it is not under warranty which is 90 days. All they could offer is that I gamble $100 with the possibility that the problem is a defective cartridge.
Bottom line: poor policy AND do not buy printer cartridges in advance. And, expect crappy support (no reset, nor bypass to their buy-Brother hardware) that makes it hard to keep a printer running.

Look for better options
The printer does not work properly at all times. First it was a print image problem (after 2 updates and 5 calibration) it works better. After 500 pages; the problem is back. WiFi printing works but requires printer reset after 2 weeks. When it works properly; it’s awesome but sadly it’s inconsistent at that.

No ARM support! Poor components.
The machine (and its components) do not appear to be well made. We have a constant issue of getting the (Brother-brand) cartridges to "seed". In addition, it's appalling that there is no ARM support.

Great Printer
Great printer. Good quality output. I have had to hardwire the printer to my laptop as I kept loosing the connection with wifi. It is slow to start the first print but that was expected as it says so in the description. It is quite large so it takes up quite a bit of room on my desk. I am very happy with it's performance overall. I would recommend it.

Awesome printer after 8 years and going strong
I bought this printer 8 yrs ago and it's been the most hassle free printer I've ever owned. I have no connectivity issues and prints quickly no problems through wireless. It's a home printer so not huge volume, but toner cartridges still 1/2 full after 8 years. I would have replaced 3 ink jet printers that dry up normally in this time frame so happy with this color laser. Nothing but praise for this printer. I was an IT Manager so used to support a lot of printers. The only thing I should bring up is the cost of toner. About the same as the cost of the printer so not sure if I'll try an off brand when the time comes. Or wait for a special sale.

Great Printer, Slow Printouts
This is a high-quality printer that produces very clear printouts. However, it does take up to 30 seconds to print one page and since this is in an oil change shop, makes the customer wait each time they want their receipt printed. Other than the slow printing time, it's a great printer so far.

Great printer - nice quality overall.
Love this printer. I needed to replace a 20+ year old Xerox Phaser and researched the L8360CDW and it has truly been a great choice. I like the quality of the printing, the use of the manual feed tray for labels and the dual sided printing when needed. I am probably going to buy a second one for home use as this one is in the office.

Machine is excellent, retailer awful.
This is my third brother laser in about 30 years. The current older model does not duplex. Otherwise it is still a well engineered machine still sold by Brother.
The problem is the retailer software generated two orders. They refuse at Corporate to take the extra machine back. Now they claim they delivered the second machine a day later than the first. They did not. The local management assisted me in attempting to return the unopened boxed machine. Corporate did not cooperate. I have no idea what at this point happened to the machine. Needless to say the Company will get no more of my business if they continue to falsify on-line records and lie about everything. I suggest Brother quit using this corporation. IF you need that corporation name, I will provide it in private to you.
