5 out of 5 stars cheap, reliable   August 23, 2008
Pretty basic, but a labeller doesn't need to be fancy, and it works great so far! Great price!


4 out of 5 stars What a waste!   August 21, 2008
It would be easy to give this labeler 5 stars if it didn't waste tape at the end of each label. I thought I would be able to just print lables and stick them on, but you will need a scissors unless you want an inch of blank tape before and after each label.

Otherwise, it works well and is quite intuative without having to read the directions. Nice selection of different tapes, as well. Works great for labeling wires in a network, on your computer or stereo system. And if you have a zillion AC adaptors (which this product does not come with) you can finally label them all.



1 out of 5 stars Too bad   July 6, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This products is trash in comparison with the PT-80 (the model we always trusted) in regards to the amount of tape waste.

This product was released in 2005, now we are in 2008 and the manufacture (Brother) didn't even bother to correct the problem of the amount of wasted tape, despite the endless complains from all reviewers. 3 years and this product is still as is.. In fact I don't think its a problem on their end, this product had been designed this way, to waste more tape, thus forcing us consumers to buy more and use more.

This unit is going back to Amazon and I'll get a Dymo instead. Too sad I got deceived by the brand that I always trusted.



2 out of 5 stars for the love of all that is holy, please let me NOT WASTE TAPE   May 22, 2008
 6 out of 7 found this review helpful

I like brother. I really do. I think of them as my, well, little brother. But I love the earth more. And with that global warming thing, I love her all the more. She is so Hot, you know? Any hotter, tho, and we'll be swimmin' in our own waste. So, it would be nice if I could make a label that DIDN'T require a half inch of profit to go to brother. Seriously guys, greed is good, but greed means that I'm going to go buy a new label maker.


2 out of 5 stars PT-80 wastes less tape   January 28, 2008
 8 out of 8 found this review helpful

If you want to waste a lot of tape, this is the labelmaker for you. Though you can shorten the margins, your settings aren't saved once you power off.

The PT-80 has far smaller default margins, and virtually all the functionality of this one. It is the far better purchase.
