In addition, the Brother MFC-L5700DW's duty cycle is the same as that of the MF424dw the Canon MF249dw is 35,000 pages less, as is the Brother MFC-L2750DW XL, while the HP M426fdw's ($799.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) is a whopping 30,000 pages more.

However, Brother's closely priced MFC-L5700DW can handle 350 sheets from two sources, and you can upgrade it to 900 sheets, while the Brother MFC-L2750DW XL supports just 251 sheets and is not expandable.
The smaller Canon MF249dw, on the other hand, holds only 251 sheets, split between a 250-sheet drawer and a 1-sheet override tray, and it's not expandable. (Opens in a new window) Read Our Xerox VersaLink C405/DN Review The HP LaserJet Pro M426fdw and the Brother MFC-L2750DW XL, two similarly priced monochrome laser AIOs, are both significantly smaller and lighter. The Canon MF416dw, a higher-capacity and more-feature-rich monochrome laser AIO, is similar in size to the MF424dw, but it weighs about 6 pounds more.
In contrast, the Canon MF249dw ($1,113.00 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) is a few inches smaller in height and depth and weighs about 5.5 pounds less. It measures 17.9 by 15.5 by 18.3 inches (HWD) and weighs 35.8 pounds, making it suitable to reside on larger desktops, but I suspect that most offices will need to find the unit its own dedicated perch. The MF424dw ($809.30 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) can print, copy, scan, and fax. All that, and Canon's new three-year warranty, as well as lower-than-average running costs, are more than enough to elevate the MF424dw as our Editors' Choice for a monochrome laser AIO for low- to moderate-volume printing in a small- to medium-size office or workgroup. Its paper-input capacity is expandable, making it an all-around more versatile and robust monochrome all-in-one (AIO) than the Canon MF249dw-for not that much more money. It has more productivity and convenience features, such as a single-pass auto-duplexing automatic document feeder (ADF), and support for USB thumb drives.
