The Brother HL-L6200DW ($249.99) delivers a balance of speed, paper handling, and running costs that make it a solid pick for any home, micro, or small office that needs a monochrome laser printer for moderate to heavy-duty use. Its weakest point is text quality that's near the low end of the range for monochrome lasers. But even subpar text on a laser printer is easily good enough for most business use. More important is the overall balance of features that makes this printer worth considering. What keeps the HL-L6200DW($219.99 at Amazon) from being our Editors' Choice for its category is not that it lacks something, but that there are other printers that offer just a bit more. In particular, Brother's own HL-6180DW($219.99 at Amazon) and the Dell B2360dn($219.99 at Amazon)—both top picks for small-office monochrome lasers for up to heavy-duty use—match the HL-L6200DW or come close in most key areas, with the Brother HL-6180DW also offering notably better text quality in our tes...

This moderately priced mono laser prints well and quickly, but what impressed us most was the cost per page-if you shop around for its toner.

Fast print speeds; Good print quality; Decent cloud; mobile-device support; Sturdy-feeling; Low cost per page; Handy 50-sheet override slot; Multiple expansion options

Output tray too small for speed and capacity

Too soon to determine durability

-Works well with Macs; Extremely fast once printing starts; Considerable room for large reams of paper

-would like quicker response time after printer goes to sleep

Excellent product and service.

The first one we bought worked so well, we added another identical 6200DW to our network, works great.

This printer has a great list of features and works perfectly. I am very pleased.

This printer was easier than my 25 yr old HP that died. Setting up networking and remote printing was also very easy. It is so quiet that I don't know it's there until a print request is sent, then it is still quiet compared to my old laser printer.

the HL6200 is a replacement Brother printer for me. The previous HL6180 model was great, but this one is better and I like it very much. Pity the fuser failed in the 6180.

When the printer is sleeping and you send a print job to it, the printer requires a huge power surge which dims all the lights in the room and causes the window air conditioner to practically shut itself off. In order to do a print job, I have to shut off the air conditioner first.
