looked around for the best one at the best price and have been thrilled with this one

Even more features than I need at a great price ($15.99 when I purchased in 2014).

This is a very easy to you laeling machine that makes very professional looking labels at a good value price.

Also, the replacement tapes can be found at a reasonable price.

It only come with few font and border styles, if you want more styles get the PT2730.I was inclined to buy a PT90 that use M type tape but that tape is not laminated, I found the PT1280SR at good price, $37.49.The only con apart from the basic features is as others mentioned the long margins before and after the printed text

This is a good basic machine that use TZ laminated tapes (up to 12mm) not a toy like some reviewers say

Nice little machine but what a racket when it comes to buying the refill cartridges!

The Brother P-1280 is a good little machine for the money.

Nice size to work with, and very light when you have to move it around.

Lots of good features: multiple font sizes and fonts, user friendly, price, etc

but it just became too complicated to get the labels to the proper size

Love the way you can crate labels in seconds

Great way to keep things labeled and organized in your home, office, pantry, etc.

It's an inexpensive way to make life easier.

I would recommend this item to most people that want to organize their kitchens, garages anywhere where you would need to identify what is in a box, tote etc.

Would definitely recommend this item for the price

many times before I figured out that I could trick it to stay in that mode by backspacing to delete the previous label instead of using the Clear function which basically clears all of the text and resets the Margins to Full

The functions are easy enough, the battery life is great (there's an optional power supply which I'm fairly certain costs as much as the label maker), and the replacement cassettes are inexpensive

and I only really needed it for labeling so all the fancy functions it comes

A great labeler to have for organizing your whole home or office

This is a great labeler

It's an excellent labeler, and very user friendly.

Easy to use and great quality build.

The tape appears to be of good quality and I think that the labels will stay on for years with no issues.

Nice quality print!

It's a big, sturdy thing.

I'm kind of a nerd and really love labeling things

This thing comes in handy for a plethora of uses

I would recommend this product to any mother, teacher, student, or anyone who likes to be organize

I would not recommend this product.

If you need to label items on a regular basis this is a great product

Great product - easy to use and well a little addictive

It's plastic, it makes labels, sort of like the kind you see on items once they are labeled with a $25 label maker

The Brother PT is one of the easiest label makers on the market.

I have tried everything in the settings to make it not waste label when it prints!

It's a great little household/small business label and works well all the time

This is not a bad label maker.

It is like getting a nice printer for like $39.99 and paying $20.00 for ink cartridges.

I would recommend this printer for all computer technicians and system administrators.

It is a cheap, handy and lightweight labeling printer

It ran back through and the clear tape and the black carbon ink area were stuck together

I got rid of that one because it wasted tape at the beginning of the label.

Also, I was unaware of the variety of tapes available for practically any type of job.

Tape is fairly cheap when compared across other brands/modelsCon:(1) Setting functions can be somewhat tedius(2

To safe some tape use the narrow setting or the chain printing (2 or more labels printed really close
