Im using the labeler for personal use and like the power input versus battery operation.

For the price you can’t beat this hand held labeler . Easy to use.

The unit is very portable, it has a rechargeable battery and option to put in regular batteries, also charges and works with a power adapter. Prints very nice with optional fonts and images. Able to store some labels into memory. All very nice with a comprehensive manual. This unit is as the vendor describes.

This label maker has so many great features its hard to list them all. Some that were important to me: 1): Its rechargeable. Thermal label printers typically take a lot of battery power. With rechargeable batteries you wont be going through batteries every couple months. You can also just plug it in if need be. 2): It uses readily available Brother P-Touch cartridges. 3): It can print flag and winding labels. These are great for cables. I use flag labels on the many cables I have in my desk drawer so I dont have to pick them up and put on my reading glasses to see what kind of end they have (Mico-USB, USB-C, Proprietary, etc.). I also have an electronics panel in my house where my tv cable and network cable hubs are located. Winding labels are a must have for the 35+ cables in there. There are also lots of printing options which I like. They screen is backlit however the keys are not. You cant adjust the screen brightness but you can adjust the contrast. There is room for improvement however. You cant adjust the spacing of the letters on the display. If you look at the first picture I posted, youll see the screen of the label maker and the label I printed right below it. The label was printed with out of the box defaults. Normal font, normal spacing. You can only see 6 letters on the screen. I would prefer there was less space between the letters on the screen. You cant adjust it as far as I know. The second thing I would have loved to see is a case! This is a great label printer and it deserves a case to match its quality. I dont like having to put everything back in the box when Im done. I could leave it out of the box of course but then it is prone to scratching or other damage, and Id still need a place to keep the charger, manual and extra cartridges. The manual (a big fold-out) isnt bad but it doesnt explain everything. For example, it has a setting for density but it doesnt explain what that is or what it does. The second picture I attached shows various labels. In the order they appear from top to bottom: 1): Default print. Normal font (large) and spacing. 2): Same as above except Bold Font was selected. 3): Bold font and narrow kerning (letter width spacing). There are 3 choices of kerning - Normal, narrow and wide. Normal is a little too wide for me and in narrow mode, sometimes the letters are touching. I wish it had more graduations like a 1 to 5 scale instead of just the 3 options. 4): Each time you print, a piece of label 7/8 is cut before the label is printed. Not sure why it has to do that. Its a little wasteful. You cant really see it in the picture, but the labels dont cut at a perfect 90 degrees. If you really look at it, you can see the top left of the label sticks out a little more than the bottom left. Likewise, the bottom right of the label sticks out a little more than the top right of the label. Not a big deal to me but if you tend to lean towards OCD it could bug you.

Description for this label maker clearly states that it has a qwerty keyboard, but unfortunately thats not the case. The keyboard has the alphabet in chronological order (A B C D... Etc) which sucks but its not a fatal flaw. This label maker would have been perfect if it had a qwerty keyboard. I really like the auto cutting feature, which automatically trims the extra label length you get anytime you start a new label. Its the only label maker I have with this feature. It also comes with a lithium ion battery! So you dont need extra batteries to use it, although it does have space to use 6x AAA batteries just in case(?). Charger is included. Another nice thing about this label maker is the bright and easy to read screen. Great for those with poor eyesight . Also, the menu is much easier to navigate than most label makers at this price. For example, its really easy to figure out how to print multiple copies of the same label, or how to print several different labels at a time. Thats because each time you press print youre prompted with a screen that asks if you want to print multiples or just a a single lable. Easy! It uses regular brother tze label tape which is easy to find and super affordable. You dont have to tighten the tape before installing it since the printer does it for you, which is another nice feature. Overall, great label maker despite the false advertising. A qwerty keyboard would have made it perfect!

This one is a pain to use. If you can figure it out, it does make a nice label. I prefer the label makers with an app or ones that are really simple.

It’s got a lot of features; many options but not sure I needed something that fancy. It cuts each label automatically but I wish I could figure out how to get it to stop wasting about 1 inch each time you make a label because it does 2 cuts

It is a good label maker although it is quite large and heavy so depending on your application, this may be an issue. Primarily I use it for labeling my electronic devices as my handwriting is utter garbage otherwise. I have not messed with many of the settings for this, but thankfully the included manual does a pretty good job of helping you figure things out. My only minor gripe is that before it cuts a new label, it feeds out and cuts ~3/8 of tape to make sure everything works and to zero things out. A little annoying/wasteful if you make a lot of individual labels. If you do a string of labels, say 3 of the same kind, it only does it at the start. Overall it is a good label maker and I have no major complaints with it. For what I am doing it gets the job done.

I was impressed with the amount of features and settings, icons, font sizes, fonts, spacing, etc… this wound up being much more useful than I had thought it would be. I got it for labeling the cases on my CNC bits and the settings are allowing me to put more details than I had thought I’d be able to. The functionality is similar to that which you’d get in Microsoft Word. Good stuff!

This unit does everthing it was designed to do.
