Brother has done it again. Continuing its dominance of PCMag\u2019s annual awards<\/a><\/strong> in the United States, Brother International Corporation has been recognised with its 10th<\/sup> consecutive Readers\u2019 Choice Award for best printers and sixth consecutive Business Choice Award as the best office printer manufacturer.<\/p>\n

Readers\u2019 Choice<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The PCMag Readers\u2019 Choice Awards are based on overall customer satisfaction and printer attributes including setup, reliability, printing quality, technical support, repairs and the cost of consumables.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to our survey respondents, no one else can deliver the same level of overall satisfaction, reliability, and ease of setup,\u201d said Dan Costa, Editor-in-Chief of PCMag. \u201cRespondents tell us Brother printers continue to deliver excellent printed output and no one can beat them when it comes to satisfaction with cost of inks and toners.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Readers\u2019 Choice survey, Brother had the highest satisfaction among printers less than a year old, printers for home, inkjet all-in-one printers, laser printers, and laser all-in-ones.<\/p>\n

Business Choice<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cBrother is in a class by itself when it comes to printers recommended for the office,\u201d said Costa. \u201cYear in and year out, the company has walked away with the highest award we can give in printers, and this year is no exception.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the PCMag Business Choice Awards, respondents were asked to rate their work printer using multiple questions about their overall satisfaction with the solution, as well as experiences with technical support within the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis consistent recognition from the readers of PCMag speaks to our commitment to meet the needs and expectations of our customers, from home office users to business workgroups,\u201d said Dale de Villiers, Marketing Manager at Brother South Africa. \u201cBrother takes pride in its At Your Side customer-centric philosophy and will continue to develop and deliver high-quality products, services and solutions for all aspects of document imaging technology for individual and business users.\u201d<\/p>\n

The PCMag Readers\u2019 Choice and Business Choice winners are determined by an email survey of PCMag community members that subscribe to the respective mailing lists. This year\u2019s surveys were conducted between June 4, 2018 and June 25, 2018.<\/p>\n
