I have been ordering supplies for my Brother MFC for some time now and have been extremely pleased with the entire process from entering the orders, tracking the orders, and to the delivery. Thank you for each worry-free transaction!
OEM Toner 2008-05-02
I've compared the OEM toner cartridge to the discount refill types and the OEM wins hands down. I print a newsletter for our local club and it's easy to see how much better the photos and graphics are printed. And the price from Amazon is only a couple of dollars more than the 'half-priced' refillers.

This is not the first time our office has purchased this item from Amazon. As expected, great service from Amazon and the products are new and preform as advertized. Thank you for the great service.
Terrific Value from OEM Brother Drums 2008-01-19
I'm surprised to see the negative reviews for the Brother brand drums. I'm on my second MFC all-in-one device. My first one gave me reliable use to 78,000 copies before it croaked (bad fuser) and I immediately went out and bought another Brother to replace it. The MFC-8860DN is my current model and I've already logged 26,000 copies on it. Over the last few hundred copies, it started making a grinding noise and slightly wrinkling my copies, so knowing it was time for drum replacement, went ahead and ordered one. I once tried a 'refurbished' or aftermarket version which didn't hold up for 10,000 copies, so I've stuck with the Brother brand when it comes to Drums. I consistently got 20,000 copies on my last printer drums, and got 25,000 on this one. I don't know what more you can expect at this price point! I did NOT buy my drum from this website, as I found it for less elsewhere. I like brother printers because the toner cartridges are so easy to refill! I buy toner by the bulk off an auction site, and I'm able to refill each cartridge about 3 times before I begin to see a quality loss. Between the low toner cost and the high output of original OEM Brother drums, I'm skating out cheap! Quality is top notch.
Short drum life may be fixable

I own two of these drum units. I was disappointed that the drum was failing only after about 8000 prints. I found toner buildup on the drum cylinder. The problem was corrected by replacing the toner cartridge not the drum. Possibly it was defective toner cartridges causing premature drum failure.
Works well for me 2007-10-15
Yield up to 25000 Copies / For Brother HL5240, HL5250DN, HL5250DNT, HL5280DW
Oh, Brother; DR520 drum 
2007-08-09
The Brother DR520 drum was advertised as 25000 pages typical use. I did not get to 9000 before the left side of the paper started to have a permanent black streak that kept getting wider and wider. By 10000 pages, the drum on that side was "slap wore out" as they say around here. I give the drum a one out of five stars. On the other hand, the replacement was dropped in and it printed like new again, so a five for ease of replacement. Overall I will give it the average of the two, a three star rating.
Almost the cost of a new printer

This drum goes VERY fast. Our office replaces 1 drum for every 2.5 toner cartridges for the HL5240 printer. So you're looking at getting maybe 18,000 prints per drum (even though it advertises 25,000). The price of a brand new Brother HL-5240 High-Speed Desktop Office Laser Printer, which comes with this drum and a toner cartridge, is actually almost the same price as buying the toner and drum separately. So anyone who needs a toner and drum at the same time should just buy the printer, since it's like getting a printer for free.
Very Disappointed 2007-01-15
After receiving this DRUM which was listed as having a 25,000 yield capacity, on 12/11/06....Today 1/15/07 my printer is giving me the same error message "DRUM NEAR END" There was no indication when I purchased this product that it would be refurbished..I certainly have NOT printed 25,000 copies...

seems like this product does not last very long and is very expensive to replace.
