Overview of Best Faxes

Remember that the fax machine you choose based on the above recommendations depends on how you are going to be using the unit. If you only use a fax machine occasionally, you may want to pay more attention to price or to practical functionality, such as the addition of cordless handsets.

If you're going to be using the fax machine in an office environment, you may want to spend a little more to get the faster speeds and larger memories, as well as some other features that might prove useful.
