It’s significantly faster (40ppm) and built with industrial-grade components. The Brother is fine for a student, but the Kyocera is the winner for a serious office.

What Owners Are Saying?

Brother HL-L2350DW

AdminGuy
"Absolute beast of a mono laser. I print hundreds of pages for work and it hasn't jammed once. The auto-duplex is a proper paper saver. If you don't need color, this is the definitive winner for ROI."

Clara
"Small, fast, and the toner lasts forever. Proper bit of kit."

TechSkeptic
"Display is a bit basic—it’s just a tiny strip of text—but who cares? It prints fast and stays connected to the Wi-Fi. Sorted."

Kyocera ECOSYS P2040dw

Frugal_Pro
"The 100,000-page ceramic drum is the winner here. It’s the most sustainable and frugal mono laser on the market. I haven't had to do any maintenance in two years of heavy use. If you care about TCO and the environment, this is a masterpiece. Proper sorted."

Jack
"Fast and reliable. A bit of a faff to set up the drivers on older versions of Windows, but once it's on the network, it’s a rock. Absolute unit."
