Dear All,

I would like to purchase an all-in-one device for home and cannot decide
between 2 models:

Brother IntelliFax 2820
http://www.amazon.com/Brother-IntelliFax-Laser-Machine-Copier/dp/B000816CE4

and

Canon imageCLASS MF3240
http://www.amazon.com/Canon-imageCLASS-MF3240-Monochrome-Printer/dp/B000EILTCQ

I'm mostly interested in reliability and minimizing costs of supplies,
while requiring acceptable fax and copying quality. Our desktop runs
under Vista Ultimate, but we can connect them to an older Win XP laptop too.

I have up to $250 to spend on the thing, are there any other models in
the price range worth of attention?

Thanks,

Vadim

I don't have an answer for you, but I'd like to suggest that you
consider buying separate devices rather than an all-in-one. In my
experience separate devices don't necessarily cost significantly more,
and you get the giant advantage of not losing everything when one
component dies.
