AI-generated summary
If you’re running a Brother laser that takes the DR-248 series drum units, this 4-pack is exactly the sort of “stop thinking about it for a while” purchase that makes sense. £94.84 ex-VAT is reasonable for OEM spares at this quantity, and the real win is consistency: you get predictable print quality across the batch and fewer interruptions versus buying single units when you’re already in a rush.
That said, I’d only buy this if you’re confident the machine models in your fleet actually use the DR-248CL drum. Drum compatibility is the kind of thing that’s easy to get wrong and expensive to fix. Also, if you don’t print much, you may be paying to store stock that might sit unused—generic “it’s cheaper in bulk” logic doesn’t always work with drums. For higher-volume offices or IT teams supporting multiple printers, it’s a solid, cost-controlled option. For low-usage desks or one-off machines, it’s probably better to buy when you’re approaching end-of-life rather than banking on a multipack.
