HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fnw vs Brother MFC-L3765CDW

The Brother MFC-L3765CDW is the better pick for most small offices today. It adds automatic two-sided printing, faster scanning, a lower-cost toner setup and a current warranty, while the HP M477fnw is an older refurbished unit that needs manual duplexing. The HP still wins on paper capacity with two trays and a 50-sheet multipurpose tray, and its gigabit Ethernet suits wired networks. Owners of the HP praise print quality but note its size and weight; Brother owners like the touchscreen and mobile apps, though some find color output merely adequate.

• Choose the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fnw if you need two paper trays plus a multipurpose tray, wired gigabit Ethernet, and you accept a refurbished unit with manual two-sided printing.
• Choose the Brother MFC-L3765CDW if you want automatic two-sided printing, faster scans, a current one-year warranty and a lower running cost from high-yield toner.
