The MFC-L2885DW is the best overall choice because it provides broader functions and clear advantages in speed, capacity, memory and resolution. The M15w may suit users who prioritize compact size, low weight and lower printing power consumption.
Both printers provide monochrome laser printing up to A4 size, wireless connectivity, Wi-Fi Direct and mobile printing through AirPrint and Mopria. They also support USB 2.0 and have similar first-page times: approximately 8.4 seconds for the M15w and less than 8.5 seconds for the MFC-L2885DW.
The main difference is that the M15w is a print-only model, while the MFC-L2885DW adds colour scanning, copying and faxing, along with a Dual CIS scanner and a 50-sheet ADF. The Brother prints at 34 ppm versus 18 ppm and reaches up to 1200 × 1200 dpi compared with 600 × 600 dpi. It also has a 250-sheet input tray and 256 MB of memory, compared with 150 sheets and 16 MB. In contrast, the M15w weighs 3.8 kg instead of 11.8 kg and uses 210 W while printing instead of 470 W.
The M15w benefits users who need compact, lightweight wireless printing only. The MFC-L2885DW better suits users who need document scanning, copying, faxing, faster output and higher paper and memory capacity.
The M15w is a print-only device, while the MFC-L2885DW combines printing, scanning, copying and faxing with a 50-sheet ADF. The Brother also offers 34 ppm printing, a 250-sheet input capacity and 256 MB memory, while the HP is lighter and consumes less power during printing.
Based on current prices, LaserJet M15w Black & White Printer is the cheaper option. It costs 112 USD versus 260 USD for MFC-L2885DW Monochrome Laser 4 in 1 Printer. The price difference is 148 USD, about 56.9% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
The M15w may suit users who only need monochrome wireless printing from a compact and lightweight device. The MFC-L2885DW is better suited to users who need several document functions, want to process multi-page documents through an ADF or require faster printing and higher paper capacity.
Both provide monochrome laser printing up to A4 size, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, USB 2.0, AirPrint and Mopria. Their first-page output times are also very close: approximately 8.4 seconds for the M15w and less than 8.5 seconds for the MFC-L2885DW.
The MFC-L2885DW prints at 34 ppm on A4 compared with 18 ppm for the M15w. It also holds 250 input sheets and 120 output sheets, while the M15w holds 150 input sheets and up to 100 output sheets.
