Reviews around quality (5.00 of 5)

  • Probably more functionality than I need but very good quality.
  • Super easy to use, dozens of tape widths and colors (no, they are not cheap, but they are excellent quality and can change from one to the other and back again in seconds)
  • Responsive, great quality, battery-powered and amazing labels

Reviews around feature (5.00 of 5)

  • It's a bit pricey, but the features that are included are worth the extra money
  • I highly recommend that you check out Brother's website; they have a nifty comparison feature that you can customize per model and feature and produce a PDF at the end - great for your final decision process
  • For me, size and an auto cutter were the main features I was looking for, and that eventually lead me to this device, the little-reviewed 18R.This particular unit is 2-3 times smaller in volume than all its brothers (non-intended pun here), thanks to its rechargeable battery
  • As far as features, pretty excellent, and certainly more than i'll ever need - if you include the PC-based part.

Reviews around labeler (5.00 of 5)

  • While I'm whining, I'd also like 360 dpi resolution for that really industrial look, but those printers are currently much more expensive (or PC- only, which to me is now useless).Still, this is the most useful, feature- rich, and compact labeler that I've ever used, so 4 stars are deserved
  • Awesome labeler.
  • I really like this labeler.

Reviews around size (5.00 of 5)

  • I use my unit primarily in the kitchen and home office and mine had to be a compact size suitable to store in a kitchen drawer, placing it in the charger only when necessary.
  • This is a very good size although not as small as the

Reviews around option (5.00 of 5)

  • I have not used all the options available on this label maker - but have created several basic labels
  • I liked the option to plug in to an socket for straight electricity too.

Reviews around layout (5.00 of 5)

  • That's much much much better, both from an environmental perspective and usability (no memory effects, partial charges ok, and much longer life cycle) - thanks Brother!The unit has an excellent feel in the hands and great QWERTY layout and other button layout - you couldn't improve on that very much.
  • There are also a few "layouts" available, for example fixed-length (for your file folders), or two-line printing with different font sizes on each line (I find these particularly useful to label my Nalgene bottles with the content plus my name underneath)
  • Unfortunately, the chain print mode (see above) doesn't work with those handy layouts; it always cuts off about 1/2" of empty tape

  • Brother really should improve the resolution of both the print and the screen.

Reviews around product (4.21 of 5)

  • That would not be hard, and an otherwise excellent product could be even better.4) the number of symbols inherent in the unit is far less than my earlier model.
  • The worst part is that I called the company and after three escalations they tell me the same thing - they cannot replace and had no interest to find out why the product might have gone so bad for lack of use
  • A culture that the company projects cannot create a reliable product and my recommendation is to stay away from this junk.

Reviews around battery (3.86 of 5)

  • The battery weighs a bit, but they didn't cheap out and use NiCad, they made it a mercury-free Ni-MH.
  • PT-80 but I was willing to pay the extra money and add the additional bulk to get away from the unit that sucked up batteries after nearly every label
  • NiMH is last generation battery technology and while robust in terms of holding a charge, a NiMH battery will wear out sooner and may or may not have memory problems.
  • I verified that battery is fine and that light comes on when connected to charger

Reviews around unit (3.53 of 5)

  • I especially like the fact that this unit stores extremely well in addition to it being small: unlike the desktop models which sit flat on your desk and awkwardly occupy a lot of space no matter where you place them, this one actually goes into your library like a book, or upright into a corner of your desk drawer or file folder
  • However the unit will not work
  • So my concerns are somewhat minor - this unit is great - but here goes:1
  • It works fine as a stand-alone unit, but you are limited on fonts
  • That's much much much better, both from an environmental perspective and usability (no memory effects, partial charges ok, and much longer life cycle) - thanks Brother!The unit has an excellent feel in the hands and great QWERTY layout and other button layout - you couldn't improve on that very much.
