YoYoinkCompatible Black Drum Unit Replacement for Brother DR 720 DR720 (1 Drum, 1-Pack)

When you work in a small church, toner prices can be a real hindrance. Fortunately, there are a lot of companies, including YoYoInk, who offer an invaluable service of providing compatible toner cartridges that don't break your office supply budget.The cartridges we've purchased from YoYoInk have probably been some of the better "compatible" toner cartridge products we've purchased in the couple of years since we decided to purchase our own high-quantity printer instead of renting from a supply company. For the most part, they're good quality and high yield, and so we are very satisfied with them and plan to continue picking up compatible cartridges to help save money and resources for our church.However, I give the cartridges/drum four stars because they do have a tendency to leave toner marks and flecks on a lot of the things you print. If you're printing papers that require a lot of finish or presentation to them, this could be a problem.I'm not sure whether this is from the drum or the cartridges, but it's likely a combination of both. Just a fair warning to those who might have problems with smudging in their printing.

I ordered this Drum unit in January - it was delivered in 2 days, and the price can't be beat. I was not able to write my review until today, because the drum unit in my Brother MFC-8950DW still had some life left in it.Today I finally had to stop ignoring the "Replace Drum" message on the display screen and put in this new unit, as all of my printout had dark black spots along the edges, and the printed images were very dull looking.After removing the original "Brother OEM" drum and toner cartridge from my machine, I vacuumed out the loose toner from inside the printer, because I wanted to make sure that I was testing this new unit fairly.When I opened the box from YoYoInk containing the new drum, I had a hard time seeing any difference between the YoYoInk drum and a Brother OEM drum.I installed the new drum, along with a new toner cartridge, also from YoYoInk.I then went into the menu on the machine and reset the drum.I have now printed out about 150 pages using the new drum and toner. They look clean, crisp, and clear.It is as if I have a brand new machine.I will most definitely be buying all future drums and toner cartridges from YoYoInk.There is absolutely no reason to pay more just to have the name "Brother" on the package.

Ordered 3 of these drums and two were defective, one couldn't be inserted into the printer, the other failed after 500 pages. I'll choose another brand next time.The drums were past the 30 day return window but the cartridges have a 2 year warranty. Contacted the manufacturer last week and have not received a response yet. I'll update the review if I receive a response.Update: YoYoInk has responded to my issue and replacement drums are on the way. I'll update my review when I have received them and verified they work.Update: Only sent 1 replacement drum and, while it would insert into my printer, the toner cartridge could not be inserted into the drum. Contacted the manufacturer and the issued a full refund. While the product did not work for me, YoYoInk's customer service was outstanding.I may try their products again in the future.

I'm changing my review from this morning. This drum lasted all of maybe 100 pages, then the wire under the green tab broke and the drum failed. BUT, and this is the good part, I contacted the seller (YoYoInk, thru Amazon), and was IMMEDIATELY sent a replacement as well as partial credit for my original purchase. Outstanding customer service. Stuff breaks. Happens. But if the seller makes good on warranty claims, them I'm good with the seller.I've raised my review level from one to four stars. I'll update this review again IF there's another problem with the replacement unit.

Works great with our printer no complaints. At first when I installed it the printer continued to tell me the drum unit needed to be replaced and I thought that was because its not OEM, but I looked into it and I just had to manually reset the drum unit counter. I found the directions on the brother site of how to do that. I just do basic text printing, nothing fancy and for this it gets the job done at a price that makes me very happy compared to OEM units. My old brother OEM drum unit actually used to print three black spots on each page in the same spot every time and since installing this new unit the spots are gone which is a plus for me.

9/14/18 UPDATE bought a second drum and it’s no where near as good as the first one I purchased. Been using it only 3 weeks and constantly jams. Then can’t use the printer for several hours otherwise everything comes out blurry and useless. I guess buying generic brands is a crap shoot. Sometimes they work; sometimes they don’t.VERY pleased with this purchase!! I have a Brother HL-5470DW printer that had hardly any printing done on it. Brother would not honor the warranty as it was just beyond the 90 days when I started using it. They had me buy a brand new toner only to realize it was not the toner that was the problem, it was the drum. I decided to buy this generic drum rather than spend $180 on a Brother brand. I couldn't be happier. It prints beautifully, no paper jams, no issues at all. I figure I can buy four of these drums for the price of one Brother drum! talk about bang for your buck!December 2015 Update: still no problems with this drum unit. Printing has been absolutely perfect!! Very glad I purchased.

When I purchased this, the listing was for a combination drum and toner cartridge. Capacity has been good, but it consistently leaves what I have started to call "toner boogers" on the left side of most pages that are printed. I've tried taking both the drum and toner cartridge out to clean and shake, but this does nothing to help. I do not recommend.

Purchased two units, experienced problems with first one. Customer service promptly returned my money for that one. Second unit seems to be working fine. Would purchase these again.
