 Did not work out of the box on my Brother HL-2070N Feb 16, 2009
By Jan V. Halili
"Jan Halili"
This toner did not work immediately on my Brother HL-2070N. After browsing online forums for a bit, I found a solution which involved unscrewing one-side of the toner, flipping a switch over, and re-screwing it back together. It worked fine after that. I'm not sure the average buyer would think to do such a thing, so here are 2 stars.

Worked great, for a little while. Dec 03, 2009
By D. Fouts
Worked out of the box with my Brother 2070N, unlike another reviewer. However, it is NOT going to give 2,500 pages. My "starter" toner was only rated for 1,300 pages, and I got 2,000+ out of it (Easy to keep track based on how many boxes of paper are left). So far I have had this one for about 350 pages and it is already fading and unable to print full pages of text. Doesn't matter what I do, because it truly is just very low. While it worked, it worked as well as the one that came with the printer. But what's the point in saving a little money now when it costs in the long run? Do the math - when I bought this it was over $20. Now it's $15. The full, branded toner that would actually last 3,000+ pages costs about $60 average. 3,000 pages / 350 pages is 8.57. So the brand name will get you 8.57 times more pages. Now 8.57 * $15 for cheap brand, to get enough toner for 3,000 pages = $128.57. So overall, while this worked great for a while, you're saving money buying the real thing. $128 could buy you TWO branded toner cartridges, getting over 6,000 pages (more if you use the right settings), for the same price as this "compatible *2,500* yield" cartridge would cost to only get 3,000 (plus you'd have to order 15 of them!).
Save yourself the trouble and money a month from now - buy the real thing - you get what you pay for.

 Bad cartridge Mar 13, 2009
By Anne Zolek
I thought I was going to save money by purchasing this cartridge. Unfortunately, I am spending more extra money on paper now. About every other page I print out has an unprinted 1.5 inch going across the page. It is very frustrating to keep reprinting to get all needed pages. I took a chance and it did not work out for me.

 Great product and price Dec 17, 2008
By K. Degraaf
This toner has worked really well. We did have a few problems at the start with lines across the page, but those were gone within a few days and it was worth the cost savings we got versus buying someplace else.

You Get What You Pay For Oct 19, 2009
By The Reader
When I saw the price on this compared to the original manufacturer's, I thought...Sold! I have a home office and in a busy week I might print 25 pages. So you can imagine my surprise when after about 30 days or so, my machine was warining of low toner. Long story short...there's no way this thing will come close to the 2500 page compatibility it claims. I also have been getting a solid line that comes out on all of my copies. Until I saw another review having the same issue, I thought it was my printer. Bottom line, I paid $25 for the thing and for what it's worth there was ink in it. However, I'll be sticking with the manufacturers product at about double the price from now on. Ultimately, you get what you pay for.
