Agree with the earlier positive kyocera comments
We have a fleet of 10 Kyoceras purchased in mid 2003 - used an abused by
doctors in the dual bin and hand feed configuration
Older model obviously now - "kyocera mita FS 1010"
One was a bit lemony and has gone to the great landfill in the back
blocks
Remaining 9 still strong but getting a little tired - bit smudgy
despite a
service and clean - however still working!
Little to go wrong, easy to extract paper jams etc, easy to change toner
If used in the doctors rooms important to check "time to first page
out" -
as obviously lots of stop start printing of scripts etc Some other
printers
are fast BUT slow for the first page out!

Our old kyocera front desk printer needed a new drum after 10 years.
I'm surprised you could still get a replacement. Both the ten years and
replacement availability says heaps about the longevity and the company
attitude.
We
got two new cheap printers and way more throughput for less money than a
replacement drum. (RAID principles applied to printers - 3 cheap ones
could be bought for the price of a dear one and see which prints pages
faster.) I prefer an integrated toner/drum cartridge for long-term print
quality - no service costs.
What, each cheap one lasted 5 years?
Reusable drum is nice to environment, but print quality only goes off
over time - which does not figure on quoted TCO calculations.
Integrated drum-toner cartridge designs boost overall per page costs a
great deal. If you have a high-volume location, such as printing DB4's,
quality towards the printer's end of life isn't a big deal. Cleaning the
engine as directed in the manual keeps this problem at bay too.
