Why are people saying Brother no longer makes the 2140 when Amazon is selling it?

Because amazon sellers may have older inventory. I purchased used inventory and resell it.

Word is that it is no longer on the site because the new models are supposed to be released soon.I have been watching the price for a while too, and Amazon's is about the best at the moment, though you can watch Slickdeals.net forums for new deals.

Sometimes Brother is a little late in updating their website. This machine is the same machine as the PE770 except with a different trim on the outer case and a value added package of accessories and two extra hoops. They do now have the DZ820E on the Brother website, though.

I checked a number of other resellers' sites last night and they are all still shipping iLife '06 as well (and apparently trying to deplete the stock since there are so many special offers on them). So I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon's stock is still loaded with iLife '06. If you get tired of waiting, I just found this morning that if the machine comes from Amazon with iLife '06 now, it would qualify for Apple's iLife '08 Up-To-Date program where you can get the upgrade for 9.95 plus tax. Ten dollars more is still a great deal on this machine so I might go that route even though it will take a little longer to have the computer with iLife '08 on it.

I'm answering my own question because I contacted Brother about this: they assured me that their 2-year warranty would apply. Amazon: this information should be listed in the product details!!! Instead it feels like you are trying to trick your customers into buying the additional 2-year coverage, without properly informing them of what Brother already provides.

I am not a seller of this product but I do know it is discontinued so it is probably an issue of supply and demand.

I purchased two of them (red and blue), and they shipped without ever having a restock estimate. One was actually prepared for shipment before the other, but then both shipped together. It looks as though there's a heavy demand, which means they'll probably come in and out of stock for a while. If Amazon doesn't have a date, then I don't think there's any hope of us knowing. I suggest ordering them anyway and checking the order status often.

I believe the H837 is the latest version, but there are more capable versions out there (3d simulation etc), maybe just not on Amazon.

We are sorry as we are just a seller on Amazon we would nto be able to answer your question as to why Amazon has discontinued selling a product.

If you click the link http://www.amazon.com/Brother-BU-100CL-HL-4040CN-HL-4070CDW-Series/dp/B000SC245E/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t it will show you all the available options.

"There are some models in the HL series that fall out of the compact printer category. Printers outside of the 2200 model number start to become large printers. The HL 2270DW has replaced the 2275DW and boasts the best printing characteristics for this series" http://printers.toptenreviews.com/compact/brother/brother-hl-review.html

Historically Brother has lower toner cost, faster operation and fewer software glitches. However, the Brother 5470 kept blowing my circuit breakers so I returned it.

Truthfully I cannot answer the question. I would suggest calling someone that sells the Brother products and ask them to be sure. Hope this helps

I agree, I was thinking of purchasing this model myself and the price went up as you clearly stated overnight. Amazon's loss! Jason, have you heard when the "B" model will be available?

I have not tried either so any response would only be a guess and that holds little value. I can say that I am pleased with the printer and the incredibly good Brother support. I imagine that Brother would be happy to answer. Sorry I cannot help you.

The mixed results here mimic what I have noted about other brother printers on Amazon. Which ink you get is a crap shoot (and >$200 swing in value). Some are Blessed, some are Gyped. Reading the 1-star reviews, there is no hope for Brother - they don't seem to care - and they are still better than HP. But Amazon usually cares about its customers. Why do they continue to support this insanity?I would like to see a precise statement of what toner is included with every printer.That way I can intelligently decide on the value I can expect for the price that is listed.
