I had purchased the HP M281fdw from Amazon a week ago for $348 and didn't have any problems with it. Then I saw the newer M479fdw was on sale for $398, only $50 more and decided it to buy it, since it was to be a newer better model and with 2-sided scanning. But after using both models for the past week, I can say that the M281fdw is the better built unit, while the M479fdw has some issues.
First off, the M479 has a very loud cooling fan that always stays on while the unit is on (even when not printing). The only way to stop the fan is to have the unit set to go into Sleep Mode after 10 minutes of non-use. When printing, there is also a noticeable high-voltage electrical sound coming from the vents on the right side. This is the only laser printer that I've ever heard this type of sound from, and it just sounds like there's an electrical problem. The M281 model doesn't have a loud cooling fan that stays on all the time (in fact, I'm not sure if it has a fan) and there is no high-voltage transformer buzzing when it prints.
Regarding the actual printing, for Black Text and basic color documents, both M479 and M281 are identical. But when it comes to printing a color picture, the M281 produces better looking and more realistic colors, while the M479 colors are more dull/faded and don't match the original picture. I made sure both printers are using the same color settings and have the newest Firmware and Drivers installed. But no matter what I try, the color pictures from the M479 don't look as good as from the M281.
Lastly, for copying Black Text, both models are the same, with the advantage of 2-sided scanning on the M479. But for color copying, the M479 looks terrible. I tried to copy a few pictures (that where original film-to-paper prints or from an inkjet) and the color copies on the M479 look way off. But on the M281 the color copies are much closer to the original.
That being said, the M479 is Made in Mexico and the M281 is made in Vietnam, so I'm not sure if that has something to do with it.
Overall, I wish the M479fdw worked as well for colors as the M281fdw, as I like the 2-sided scanning and the larger LCD Display. But the loud cooling fan and high-voltage electrical buzzing on the M479 are a deal-breaker for me. Between the two, I just like the M281fdw more, it prints better colors, is a quieter and smaller unit, and feels better made.
