I seldom use this fax machine, so my review isn't weighty, but Amazon keeps asking for my review...
It works fine. Setup can be a little tricky, but the manual is thorough if you have the patience to read it. Once you get the hang of the machine it works pretty good.
This machine uses a roll of carbon paper, not toner or inkjet. This is an advantage if you don't use it often; the ink doesn't dry out, but the roll has to be replaced frequently if you use the machine much.
I re-rolled the carbon paper and reused it once to save going to the store for another roll with minimal diminution of quality. The second time I re-rolled it, quality dropped off sharply, so now I need to get to the store.
Not too shabby a machine for not too shabby a price.

Inexpensive Fax That Works
rating: 4
This is an excellent, inexpensive home fax unit. Fax quality can be increased manually for individual faxes where needed. I use it with a comswitch 7500 and this allows the fax to scan paper documents (any page number) directly into you computer (requires shareware fax software and a modem).
If you are a business that faxes frequently, this machine is not sufficient. However, if you have a small home office area and sometimes need to send or receive faxes, this machine does work. E-mail has overtaken the fax and the fax is now a niche machine.
Those who bother to read the user manual and are willing to tweak the settings to get specific results may find that the low price does not necessarily mean low quality. One star reduced for max 9600 transfer rate.Brother FAX-575 Personal Fax, Phone and Copier

Good for home use
rating: 4
I've had this fax machine for a couple of years. I don't use it a lot, a couple of times a month on average, and only for sending out. I have received a few faxes and it's okay, tho the printing quality isn't real good...just okay. I wouldn't recommend this fax machine for business use, but if you're like me and just need to fax out now and then from home, it's perfect.

O.K. for a once in a while fax from home
rating: 2
When I needed a fax machine I just went to Amazon, I ought to have checked the local office supply stores. They had lower prices on this item.
It's O.K. for the situation where a fax is needed, certainly not for a high volume of work.

Only Great if it is used ONLY to fax
rating: 3
Great fax speed and confirmation print out. Not great with copies and not great with scanning interface. It sorta sucks that it takes a ribbion and not a cartridge or toner as we are in the year 2008!
