Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this fax machine because I was tired of leaving my computer running 24 - 7 to receive faxes. This Fax machine might have some nice features but it is lacking in some basics (both in advertizing specifications, hardware and quality).... I was shocked to find out that it is rated at only 9600 baud rate - I figured all fax machines sold nowadays are rated at 14,400 - boy was I wrong (I guess if they don't say 14.4k then you have to assume it's a 9.6k). Nowhere (except in the specifications INSIDE the manual) did it say anything about baud rate. I ragged on my clients for not having 14,400 fax machines and got most of them to upgrade and I end looking pretty stupid on this one.
I could not believe that you have to purchase an additional paper tray for receiving incoming faxes. If you have your fax machine anywhere close to the edge of a desk - your incoming faxes will end up on the floor without this "paper stacker" (which Amazon.com does not sell). How lame and cheap can you get?
Also I was very displeased to find out it only came with a so-called "free starter film cartridge" that will allow you to print up to 65 pages (whoopdeedo) and then you have to buy the "real" Film Cartridge (prints up to 330 pgs) - anywhere from $26.99 to $35.00 - depending on who you buy it from. This is like buying a printer with no printer cartridge in it - every Laserjet or bubble jet printer I have ever bought has come with a complete printer cartridge.
And then to top it off - the few faxes I have received so far from three (3) different souces has some hairline marks running vertically up and down on the printed pages.
The additional items you have to purchase makes that $129.99 fax machine total to $164.34 (shipping not included) for a complete ready to go package.
I think I'll return mine and go back to using my computer fax!!!
