3.0 out of 5 starsDefinitely NOT high yield
Reviewed in Canada on January 12, 2021
I'm now on my third cartridge in 2 years and can honestly say you will not get anywhere near the claimed 3000 pages. The best I have managed to date is 1863 pages.
GENUINE: Viewing some of the other comments, I can confirm when this cartridge is "Shipped from and sold by Amazon" it is 100% genuine and works, can't comment on other sellers.
INSTALL: I have a Brother MFCL2710DW and this is about a 15-20 second install. Probably spent more time taking it out of the box. Picture instructions are included.
VALUE: Consistently get less than 2000 of the claimed up to 3000 pages, its hard to say this cartridge offers good value for money. My only use is for casual printing of documents and children's school work so I only replace these every 10-12 months so I tolerate the poor performance. If you run a small business and print frequently, these would probably get expensive quickly and would probably try third party toner.
PRINT QUALITY: Perfectly fine. If you get smearing or anything else, check your rollers and make sure your paper isn't too thick. Try running a cleaning cycle and run it 3-4 times in a row before you resume normal printing. Don't think many people realize printers require maintenance.
RECYCLING: You can go to the Brother website, print a shipping label for Canada Post and ship back your empty toner to Brother for free if recycling is something you are interested in. You are required to subscribe to their marketing aka spam mail in order to do so, but you can unsubscribe when you get the first email.
