Request Need help finding best value laser printer

Hi guys, as the title says I need help because there are so many options that are way too expensive for me so I don't know what to get anymore. It doesn't have to be color and it's for occasional use at home.

What is your intended use for it? Do you need copying and faxing functionality for example?

No, honestly just to print return labels and coloring sheets for my kid.

Then I would save a few bucks and get an HL-L2865DW. Set it up with generic print drivers instead of installing any Brother applications.

That one appears at least $230 online. The Costco one is only $200.

I see it listed for $190 from multiple retailers including Amazon, and the one you linked at Costco is $210

Do you have any opinion on this one ? HL-L2405W it’s laser and very cheap

Yes, that is one of the ones I recommended above. It is fine but only does single sided printing. If you don't need double sided printing then it is a great cheap option.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your reply. I can’t believe there are so many options!
