Summary: Good value for your money
Review: I rarely by an electronic device without reading all reviews but being that this is a new product on the market I decided that it was my turn to be the guinea pig and write a review. The 4820C has everything that I wanted in a small neat design and the price was terrific. All that was left to know was how it performed.
I've had the machine for three weeks and it has been most enjoyable. Keeping in mind that you just can't have everything, this machine is a great all-in-one and does the job nicely. I can't say that the print qulaity is better than any other inkjet printer but it is just fine and the color copies are impressive. The black copies only look nice when set to "best quality" otherwise they are grey and fuzzy.
Scanner and fax are good. As you know from the description, multiple pages first have to be scanned one by one, so if you send a lot of multiple page faxes, this may not be the machine for you.
This is not a powerhouse for any of the functions but for home and home office use it is really great to have it all in one small machine.
Oh, and unless you really need the phone and answering machine built-in (due to lack of space), you may as well go for the model without the phone because this feature is far from top-notch. The speakerphone is no good and the message center registers all calls even if a message was not left. You may come home one day and find 5 messages of just beeps. This is annoying.
I gave the machine 5 stars not because it is a wonder but because it is everything I expected. For $250 it is terrific value!

Summary: Disappointment
Review: I've just tried a few basic functions and encountered the following problems.

(1)Color reversal-with the factory packed cartridges in the correct spot, red turns into yellow, yellow turns into red, blue turns into green when copying.

(2) Scanning makes very loud clicking noise

(3) Envelop printed out in the reverse direction when feeding according to the diagram on the feeder.

I have not tried other more sophisticated functions yet...

Brother customer service couldn't solve the problem over the phone. I took it to Brother authorized repair shop which took 3.5 days to find out all the replacement parts they have to order. Then the technician said he cannot guarantee that once the replacement parts arrive from NJ, he won't need to order more parts to fix all the problems. So I decided to just return it and purchase something else. I cannot be out of office machine for a month.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Brother MFC 4820c - Full featured in a smal sleak package.
Review: This Brother is quiet, and fast with high resolution. I have found it to be everything they promised, and in a sleek executive style package. The only reason this multifunction printer is not 5 stars is; since it is a flatbed, faxes need to be placed on the glass one at a time instead of sheet feed.
