Brother IntelliFax-4100e

Best office laser fax

Pros
  • Fast faxing
  • High paper capacity
  • 500-page memory
  • Low cost per page
Cons
  • Expensive
  • Larger than most fax machines

The Brother IntelliFax-4100e has fast fax transmission speeds, a high paper capacity (up to 500 sheets) and the ability to store up to 500 pages in memory, making it a good choice for a busy office. Although the initial cost of this laser-based fax machine is higher than that of fax machines using inkjet or thermal-transfer technologies, fax copies are sharper and the cost per printed page is lower. If you want a laser fax machine but are on a tight budget, the Brother IntelliFax-2820 (*Est. $175) costs about $100 less, though it is a tad slower and can't accommodate a second paper tray.

Professional reviews of fax machines such as the Brother IntelliFax-4100e are hard to come by. BetterBuys.com has the most up-to-date information, but to get details about the 4100e, consumers must pay for a published report. User reviews provide the best advice, and we found useful feedback at Amazon.com, Staples.com and Epinions.com.
