I am on my SECOND MFC-210C in one year. My first machine broke down after only 2 months of owning it, so it was replaced under warranty. The second one that I have now is broken and of course the warranty is expired. I found out that it was an issue with the ink. If even a little drop of ink gets into the "microswitch" (what ever that is) the machine will not function, and an "unable to clean" message will appear. I paid a little of over $100 for the machine and it is going to cost $180 to fix it. The ink consumption sucks as well. I guess like another reviewer said, "You get what you pay for." My Brother MFC-210C reminds me of the fax machine from Office Space.
