Cheapest, good laser printer

I've started doing crafts which I could do with a laser printer I'm not a professional. I'm looking for a cheap laser  printer.
Any suggestions?

    Ok insert your word in cheap ........ laser printer, colour or mono, A4 only, duplex, wifi, airprint,  your question is too nebulous.

  • I'd check the prices of replacement toner, before you buy, since many printers come with "starter" toner cartridges, that have to be replaced quiet quickly. For a HP printer a set of replacement cartridges cost more than the printer.

    If I knew what you were asking I wouldn't be asking advice. Your question is too pretentious.
    A cheap laser printer. Which I would say I wont need more than A4. We have WiFi . I'm not looking for any fancy modes. The inkjet I have is connected to the desktop. Pretty self explanatory. 
    I was hoping for advice on cheap basic options between the price of colour or mono.
    I'll stick to mono if its massively cheaper.

    Thanks . I'm aware of this as I had a hp inkjet which wouldnt take copy cartridges.
    I'm hoping someone has had a laserjet which was pretty basic , cheap and took  copy cartridges. I'm not looking for massive high quality

    You get used to it.
    There's a lot of "use Google" when someone asks a question here.

    You have to jump those hurdles because somewhere in amongst it all, some people do post up and help.
  • Suggest look at Brother range working from cheapest to dearest until you find one that's within your budget and has your essential features.
    The Brother HL-L2350DW from Amazon @ £130 is a Which best buy but just checked and out of stock.

    Now we know what your needs are that is a good choice , I have a Brother which is 10 years old, but still works well , it is a 5250 now discontinued and was a lot more expensive when new , but I have no problems using compatible cartridges , there is also a HP on amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/HP-M118dw-LaserJet-Pro-Printer/dp/B07K27MTNM/ref=sr_1_19?crid=3RS0YS1Z6YHUS&dchild=1&keywords=brother+mono+laser+printer&qid=1603230705&refinements=p_76:419158031&rnid=419157031&rps=1&sprefix=brother+mono,aps,162&sr=8-19 which a friend has , but can't say much other than that she is pleased with it.

    Brother or Samsung, I've found both perfectly fine. Google for compatible cartridges for the model you're looking at to see how readily available they are and their cost.
