We bought THIS model because the slightly older model did so well and never had any battery life problems.

All in all, if I had to do it again, I'd probably look for a faster model, now that I've had the experience with this one.

It makes great labels but being the 'cost effective' model it has limited sizes, fonts, etc, available.

The previous model was great, worked for 10 years, but I've wasted so much money and time on this machine that I'm done with Brother labelers.
