I agree with Maher. If you're happy with the service you're current copier company provides then stick with them. What is their response time, your down-time and customer service?
Reliability varies with each model with any manufacturer. That also depends if your usage equals what the model was designed to handle (you don't drive a Porsche for short errands).
I'm sure you're looking at the bottom line but sometimes you get what you pay for in this field.

More threads doesn't necessarily mean more issues. It could easily be that there are more units out in the field for that certain manufacturer.

I fully agree. We (Konica Minolta) have 20 000 more machines in the field than our closest competitor according to a recent survey that was done.

been in this field for 35 years and I have worked on all of them...Kyocera all the way if the service company is reputable. They are technician friendly and for most calls only require a screw driver a in and out usually. But any machine is only as good as the service company

Re: Need advice with what copier brand I should purchase.

This is my first post and I apologize if I'm post in the wrong forum. I'm currently in the middle of receiving proposals to replace 5 copiers. Ricoh 907EX, Ricoh 8001, Ricoh 6001, Ricoh 2851 and a Ricoh 4310n. I've met with 3 companies and the incumbent Ricoh and am looking for reliability of the copier especially in a warehouse environment. My choices are between Ricoh - Savin - Kyocera and Xerox. All of the proposals have been about the same price so I'm really focused on the reliability and durability of the machines. Any advice from any tech would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

Konica Minolta. Best bet ...30 yrs..Konica Minolta hands down!You a little bit more but truly worth it.

I've worked on several brands, so my opinion is strictly from a tech standpoint.... but here are my top 3, based on easiest to WORK on ( at least in my opinion).

1. Canon

2. Sharp

3. Savin/Ricoh/Lanier/Gestetner (they're all the same machines)


I've worked on Konicas and Kyoceras as well... Truth be told, I think Konicas are a pain in the backside to work on ( and I worked on one just today ), and Kyocera seems to be a bit "toy-ish"...at least the one'd I've had to work on.
