-
Good price, too, compared to my local office supply store.
-
love it love it love it super easy to use and great price
-
For these reasons I'm planning to try out Epson LW-300 even though I did not like the tape supply (variety, availability of some tapes - out of stock, and the overall price)
-
so although painfully-priced, buy the optional Brother AC adapter.
-
But with the cheap price, I didn't know what to expect.

Reviews around labeler (4.34 of 5)
-
When I can figure them out, this is a wonderful labeler.
-
As soon as I started making labels for my new tool cabinet it was immediately apparent that I chose the wrong labeler.
-
I might not recommend this labeler to someone who is looking for something simple and straightforward
-
The labeler is easy to use and the labels are easy to read.
-
I purchased this Labeler because my old on P-Touch broke down.

Reviews around maker (4.24 of 5)
-
A lot of label tape is wasted as it seems you must have a 2 inch margin on either side of the words.
-
They wasted 3 hours of my time trying to get warranty service on a defective label maker that went bad after only 3 weeks and less than one full tape cartridge.
-
This is the perfect label maker for tax season or labeling bottles of seasons
-
Stupid design!I thought this was a pretty neat label maker with
-
So I told the manager that I would just trash their label maker, go out and buy a different brand, and never do business with Brother again

The value was great and it has an assortment of fonts, sizes etc

A lot of label tape is wasted as it seems you must have a 2 inch margin on either side of the words.
-
Another waste, as they then drain after another week
-
However, for the price, it's probably the best value you'll find for this type of label maker.
-
When it's not out of battery power, it works just fine, but the cost of the batteries does not make this labeler a good value

I love all the extra fonts that come installed I am not a heavy

I use it all the time and I love all the fonts and sizes you can choose from

It has all the great fonts and does two lines just like I wanted

Works wonderful, easy to use, & I love the extra characters and fonts ans the way im able to label and organize with it.

Been labeling all my son's school supplies, and the extra fonts and borders give it a fun twist!

Reviews around size (4.05 of 5)
-
You can not print consistent text size with this label maker (using the same font and same text size) - I can't believe this is not a common post.
-
The keyboard is easy to use and the screen is a good size
-
Right off the bat, I didn't like the large size of the unit
-
The minimum label size is about two inches, so no matter the size of the label you want to print you're going to waste an inch on either end
-
This one is very complicated and is difficult to get the right font and font size.

Reviews around printer (3.99 of 5)

Overall, this easy enough to work around so I highly recommend this printer.
-
Good little personal label printer that's reliable and does a neat job.
-
For the price, this is a fine label printer, but don't expect greatness
-
The P-Touch is a handheld portable personal label printer

This is a handy little printer, I bought it for re-labeling my electrical panel box.

This is a quality product, and has some great features for the price.

This labeler exceeded expectations - it was easy to use and has many features making it ideal for home or office

It does the job if I ignore the special features, but my old PT 1830 is a much better machine and is much more easy on batteries

Reviews around product (3.88 of 5)

If you want something basic that does its job, I wouldn't recommend this product.
-
Batteries drain while not in use, but otherwise a great product!
-
This product would be so much better if Brother Printer spent the time to invest in usability
-
Good product, they all seem to waste some tape at each end of printing.

Reviews around machine (3.82 of 5)
-
I've been reading reviews on other brother models and those machines have the same problem
-
A lot of label tape is wasted as it seems you must have a 2 inch margin on either side of the words.
-
This brings up a good point; if the machine itself were just a little more intuitive, I don't think a manual would even be necessary
-
So all in all it's a great machine and I don't regret my purchase
-
flowers!).Going up one step to the slightly more expensive Brother PT-D400 gets you a far better machine, with more control over label use, easy settings, and longer battery life with AA batteries, as well as the option of an adapter.

Reviews around label (3.77 of 5)
-
Not only do you have to buy more labels over time, but it makes the label making process time consuming and cumbersome.
-
Although I haven't used it as much as I had thought I would, what I have done works very well -- freezer labels are great use of this label maker -- after a few months, you can still read what's in the package!
-
This label maker is easy to use and has plenty of options for people who want to make fancier labels
-
This is a very wasteful label maker, both in labels and batteries.
-
If Brother would correct these two easy things, this would be a nice label maker.

Are you kiddding me, you really think I was going to go out and mail order your special power adapter when my unit started to go defective?"And at the end of that three hours of e-mailing and phone calling, they told me they would put a hold on my bank card for $50 for over a week to ensure that I would return the bad unit if they sent me a replacement.
-
Love this unit and now I'm labeling everything, especially all the cords for the computer.
-
The unit works well as a label maker, but the waste issue is not to be taken lightly
-
This is a very wasteful unit, even controlling margins you end up wasting a lot of tape
-
As far as the battery life issue, I loaded the unit with six brand new, name brand batteries and they lasted through the 4-meter sample tape and into a replacement cartridge before showing a "low battery" warning (

Reviews around thing (2.99 of 5)
-
One thing it wastes some part of label in the beginning and ending parts--I do not know whether I misuse it
-
I label things that don't need labels, so be weary of using too much of that tape because you'll get very enthusiastic about labeling things if you enjoyed this thing as much as I do.
-
One thing I hate about this labeler is how quickly it drains batteries
-
This turns out to be a good thing, as the printer tends to waste a lot of tape at the beginning and end of the label
-
I needed it that day and didn't have time to shop for it, so I didn't know too much about it and the box said a lot of good things

Reviews around waste (2.25 of 5)
-
I give this item 2 stars based on the awful design and waste of label material.
-
The preview mode doesn't give them justice, once printed they look as sharp as they do on the template reference sheet
-
Even when you set it to narrow, there is a long lead tape--a total waste
-
Yup, also the leading and trailing tape is excessive waste
-
A waste, and not very cost effective as the tapes are not

Reviews around tape (2.13 of 5)
-
it wastes too much tape when printing and the screen is too light.
-
I especially love that you can keep the margins extremely narrow and not waste the label tape
-
I purchased this model because I was brand loyal to Brother and had bought many great products from them over the years (including another labeler that didn't waste tape)
-
You want to make a string of labels so as not to waste the expensive tape, and after typing the first label it says "OK to feed?", but there is no "NO" button!
-
The only downside is that the tape for labelers is more expensive than the machine!

Reviews around time (2.00 of 5)
-
It takes 6 AAA batteries and they will be dead every time you go to use it, even if you power it off.
-
I use it all the time and I love all the fonts and sizes you can choose from
-
ALL THE TIME, VERY EASY TO USE, MANY OPTIONS FOR FONT AND LABEL DESIGN

If you leave the batteries in it, they'll be dead the next time you want to use it.

Reviews around bite (1.95 of 5)
-
Love my labeler; I find it a bit difficult to use
-
If you twist my arm for a negative it would be that there seems to be excessive blank tape before and after the text so the unit can be a bit wasteful in that way.
-
I bought mine from an office supply store, and I see that it's a bit cheaper to buy it through Amazon
-
It does waste quite a bit of tape before and after print area though.
-
Originally I was a bit skeptical about the quality of a label maker at this price point.

Reviews around lot (1.95 of 5)
-
Very user friendly, clear printing, lots of options for fonts, etc.
-
The cons I see are in a rather dim screen that is sensitive to viewing angle and also, like most label makers, it is designed to waste a lot of expensive tape out of the box
-
I had bought the older version of this hand held - I like this one better, its a lot faster than the old one
-
A lot of people don't like the waste of label material when you print, but for me it's not that big of a deal

Reviews around brother (1.89 of 5)
-
Brother is concerned about the minute amount of ink in these cartridges
-
For a company as well known as Brother, how could you NOT include the adapter cord???Long standing customers like myself continue to buy your products, because they've always been wonderful, but it was quite a surprise when I realized that I had to purchase the adapter separately
-
My last Brother worked great for years on the original batteries but this model is seriously defective.
-
The labels are not cheap and Brother is making quite a financial windfall.
-
My Brother PT-65 died a sorry death and tried to love a DYMO LabelManager 160 - i just really hated trying to guess at the size of the label based on how many "points" and found it really hard to decorate labels.

But I can use this once, put it in my trunk and the batteries will be dead in a week.

I put fresh batteries in and they did not last more than two weeks.

I bought the power adapter and it doesn't work unless there are fresh batteries

It is now gone through three complete sets of fresh new batteries

Reviews around design (1.58 of 5)
-
However, there is a design flaw where it drains your batteries, even when the machine is off.
-
Excellent Design ,It should be perfect design if provided the enough label tape for our first using
-
i have used other label makers that had complicated instructions to make the fancier designs on labels.
-
This is very bad design and the ONLY reason it is NOT getting 5 stars today
-
I hate waste, particularly when it is through bad design and benefits the company (sell more tape) and costs me money.

Reviews around inch (1.54 of 5)
-
Even if you set the margin to zero it still uses an inch extra to clear the cutter, then you have to trim the label with scissors.
-
If the 2 inches of lost tape is an issue then you and I and everyone else that purchases the label makers
-
but if I had printed them individually I would have wasted approximately 8 inches of tape
-
I couldn't find a way to disable this and it wastes about two inches of label each print
