The machine I bought takes toner cartridges with an integrated drum. The only consumable is cartridges.

The cartridge that came with it seems to have been less than a quarter full; it lasted a few months. Since then, the full replacement cartridge is still going strong.

Looks like it's like my first one. I have an MD series one (home-office class). Which has 3000 page cartridges and 9000 page drum.

The upside is, everything inside it can be changed, incl. rollers, so as long as I have spares for it, it'll live on. Mine also supports AirPrint, so anyone can print from anything (Android has an app/driver for it, too).
