I’m looking for a new laser printer for a small office but I don’t know what to get

I don’t know what to trust around online reviews but am looking for something that will be as reliable and durable as possible for a small office that will print a couple dozen pages on most days, and less so on the others

I’d rather spend above average just to have it be reliable and durable, as stated above. If it could be on the smaller size it would be preferable since space is a concern

So I thought about asking here for recommendations. Thank you

    Apologies for forcing a notification upon you without good advice, but I am also on this hunt. I was thinking brother printers

      I wonder about Kyocera, because I haven’t yet used one but I did have a rugged phone that took all kinds of serious beating and drowning (like actually being thrown full force into the wall/ground and spending the night in the rain) and still turns on to this day

      and my experience with other brands of printers was never stellar. Brother was the less bad one, even though the one I used the most. HP was awful

      all of this was inkjet, though. I have barely used laser in some offices but the one I’m furnishing now asked for one, which I also thought was the best option for durability and reliability

        I got a kyocera colour laser over 10 years ago as it was very reasonably priced, and the price of original toner also was (well, still is) very reasonable. It still is working nicely, only required replacing some rollers last year as paper started slipping - for which it was trivial to obtain the parts and do it myself.

        Jumping in here to say that I have worked in an office for a while and we had a Kyocera, definitely seems to be on the more reliable end of printers in my experience
