Haven't had a lot of experience in the long term with brands outside Canon, so I will choose the iR2200/3300. I find if properly maintained they go forever, I have a couple units that have passed the 3,000,000 mark, that's 3x their rated lifespan.

I've got two IR3300s and I agree. They are the best. We've had them for years and years and they still work. Both have done under 250k pages I believe. So if 1,000,000 is the rated lifespan they've still got a long life ahead of them.

Legacy Minolta 450z. Totally service friendly and a work horse to boot!

There is one small old amazing machine
Toshiba series of 1340-1370. Simplicity and durability.
I love these machines.

NOT too young to remember

Most of you are too young to remember but...the best copier ever made was the Mita 900D.

I agree, they were very reliable. They also were probably the heaviest desktop copier on the planet.

mx1100

The new Mx1100 by sharp is incredible. We have one averaging over 300,000 a month and keeps going to PM's with minimal calls.

I thought the Panasonic 7728-7750 series analog series machines were pretty good. They also had a Panasonic 7160 (which I think was a Minolta 6000) for a good, higher-volume, analog box.

I agree that the Ricoh 1027/2027, for lower volume machines, are damn reliable in the field.

For the segment 5 boxes, I think the 1060/1075 Ricoh boxes as very reliable machines. This may be because I know them well, but they are a good Ricoh engine and I generally just hit them for PM's and minor issues in-between.

Best Copier?

I would have to agree with the people who are nominating the falcon series machines, they reduced our tech force by 4 techs after we replaced the 4230s and older KM series machines. But if I look back, my favorite machine to work on was the Sharp 8100 and 8260, those were the first 'tech friendly' machines ( unless a shock gave out while you had your hand in it).

Has to be the Ricoh MPc1500 - it's like the bestest copier in the world ever.

Only if you consider Steven Hawking to be the greatest breakdancer.

I vote the 1027 and it's bretherin.

Canon NP400

I had these machine in the worst s%#& holes in the Bronx and they ran until the spindles on drive wore out, even then they would be on 45 degree angle and still work.
