Title: Squeals like a stuck pig
Product review: I would not recommend buying this printer. Mine is only 4000 copies old, has already gone through 3 toner cartridges, and emits a high-pitched earsplitting squeal when printing. Since it was still under warranty, I got Sharp to exchange it. Sharp customer service is fast and pleasant, but the problem remains unsolved. The replacement (refurbished) machine is even louder.I can't pinpoint the origin of the noise, except to say it is not the scanner unit. My guess is either the paper exit roller or the drum. The drum is not guaranteed, but should certainly last longer than 4000 copies. It also eats large quantities of toner while producing copies that are way too light. It is also considerably slower than the 12 sheets a minute it is rated.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
