All-In-One Printers....

Soundguy:

I really liked the Brother MFC-420CN. It's size and layout are what attracted me to it. But after reading some reviews and then seeing for myself (now knowing what to look for) I decided against it. Sometimes a new design isn't always better, hence oldie but goodie.
Might you know anything about the Brother MFC-420CN?

Also, I've never tried to fax via modem.
Are there any advantages/disadvantages doing it this way? I mostly just print it and then fax it as you said. Thanks for your input. G

Hi
We just bought the same printer cx4600 and love it paid 129 at best buy with a 30$ rebate $6.95 in store savings and a 20$ gift card for best buy. I copied some photo's onto photo paper 4x6 and they look like great. I'm a happy camper

Happy Holidays to all and may next year be better than this year.

And I thought I got a good deal /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif ! You got a great deal, but even if I had paid retail, it would still be well worth it.

Do you find it really user friendly? I sure do. I like the fact that the owners manual isn't the size of a phone book too /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.
I'm definitely going to take advantage of the index function. The idea of having negatives sounds really good to me. G

Haven't ordered anything else from them, most of the other stuff I get from Tiger Direct, or pick up at Office Depot, couple of weeks ago I found an Olympus D580 clearanced for $174.00. Couple of months ago, I saw an Epson CX5400, the one with the media card readers, at Office Depot for $199.00 with two $50.00 rebates, I'm still kicking myself for not getting that one.

Have you had any problems with Tiger Directs products? They seem to offer A LOT of stuff. G

milkman · Dec 14, 2004

Not any problem with their stuff, but a lot of it has a rebate which I don't like. I did have a problem getting a $10.00 rebate on a thumb drive, I called them and they credited my card with the amount of the rebate. If I remember correctly, I've heard of some people having problems with them, but I've found them good to work with if I have to call them.

Thanks milkman. Next time I order something, I'll give them a try. Thanks again. G

Hi
I have been buying from tiger for 5 years and never one problem. A friend bought a procesor (AMD) that was DOA and he had a bit of a hassle getting it replaced. I will be ordering a new mother board and processer combo in a few week as soon as I decide which one I want. btw they have the cx4600 printer for 19.99 with the purchase of a PC

Yeah, I saw that when I went to their web site. Thing is, I'm not in the market for a new PC yet.

It sounds as if they don't like to return/replace or refund at Tiger Direct. I'll still give them a try and see what happens (on a smaller type of purchase). G

Check out NewEgg . I found their prices to be as good as anyone and their service is great. I've placed several orders from them and not had any problems. Usually can find some type of deal on shipping too. I even seem them have pretty decent Motherboards for free after Rebate + free shipping. Had I been about 5 minutes quicker the kids would've been getting a new computer for Christmas.

Oh, might as well give my take on All-in-One units. They typically do everything OK, but nothing great + if a part of it breaks the whole thing then is pretty much useless. The only thing they do great is take up less desk space. This way as technology in parts change you can just upgrade the part that changed i.e. printer vs. scanner.
