Readers are inexpensive.
Readers very seldom require maintenance. This is a great way to do research in the comfort of your own home. Microfiche can also be taken to a library or a Family History Center to be read. Family History Centers have reader printers so prints can be made should you need a paper copy. Pay Pal is also accepted.
