Digital camera reviews of Brother DR400 Replacement Drum Cartridge
Digital camera Review: Buy a new printer instead
Summary: 1 Stars
The original drum in my HL-1440 lasted 3+ years.
I bought this DR400 replacement drum, and after a couple months it started streaking my paper.
Bought ANOTHER new replacement drum in December. It is now March, and the "drum" light just came on, and I can't print anything. I estimate that I've printed MAYBE 700 pages on this newest drum.
What a piece of junk! I'll buy a whole new laser printer, and it will cost less than I've spent on these drums in the last 6 months!
Digital camera Review: Great Service
Summary: 5 Stars
The Brother DR400 drum is working flawlessly for the past year. It is easy to install, and I thank Amazon for sending it so quickly. I can't do without the drum or Amazon. Thank you, Amazon, for such splendid service.Digital camera Review: Swift, accurate service

Ordering replacement parts for IT and IT support poducts can be a nuisance. Amazin' Amazon has served up a unique combination of swift and accurate, highly effective supply capability. I thank you.Digital camera Review: Brother DR400 Replacement Drum Cartridge

I received the cartridge, however it was a bad one. They said they would send postage to send it back, and when they received it they would send a new one. I still have not received a new one and, I have not heard from the company. It has been quite a while. I will not be buying products from this company again.Digital camera Review: Not all compatible models listed here!!

We have four Brother MFC-9700 models at my work, and they have been quite good. After about a year, a few of them have developed a vertical splotchy line. Upon inspection, there was excess toner on the green drum inside the drum unit. After wiping it off it would work for a while but came back soon after.
I learned that the drum unit is a wear and tear item and needs replacing once a year or less if you use it alot. As the reviewer above noted, the separate drum and toner units on the Brother Laser machines prevent you from having to buy both together each time you are out of toner, but you will need to replace the drum unit at some point. This solution is quite elegant as the drum unit has a much longer life than the toner cartridge and makes for cheaper toner cartridges.
This replacement drum will solve the vertical line and other issues. Great price here on Amazon as well, almost half the price our local printer fix-it shop wanted.
