Good portable labelerDec 01, 2008
I use this for work. I use it to put labels on all of the company's computers (about 75 to 100) with the funky network names that we use.
Better than the hand-held labelers because this keyboard is easier to use. The best way I can describe it is like a video game controller. It works really well like that.
It does not have an AC power source, but that's OK by me. You are moving the labeler to the object here, not the other way around. The AC cord would never get used anyway.
Not a whole lot of options here on label size, typeface, etc. It's your basic labeler, nothing else.
Good:
* Simple to use.
* Easy to move around / keep in your hand.
* Lightweight
* Gets the job done the same way every time.
* No cords to lose.
Bad:
* Battery life (AAA batteries - what do you expect?)
* Labels are expensive (buy in bulk at discount)
* The numeral keys (0 - 9) are really easy to press one number too high until you get used to it.
* Can be difficult to peel the backing off the label after printed.

 A MUST for Productivity and Performance, Required for the 7-Hour School WeekNov 27, 2008
Label everything. Use the Brother label as it is the most user-friendly brand. Whenever you get new information, file it away into the right folder and label it. Label items by Categories first, and then Specifics, such as Real Estate - Rental - New York Property X; Trips - France - Paris; Academics - Psychology - Peak Performance Class X. Use 3 levels of hierarchy at most for each category.
I label everything with OAPR (Outcome. Action. People. Resource) and DTCM (Deadline, Time, Context, and Monetary Value). You can learn more about what that means through my programs.

They need to simplify the instructions. I've had it for a month or so & still can't get it going. The date & time seem to be important but I don't need that. Other than that it seems to be very well built & has all the bells & whistles. I know you were expecting good news in this review but my name isn't Dilbert & I'm not an engineer. I will get it going but it's going to take time.

This label maker is easy to use. I haven't looked for replacement tape yet so I am not sure how easy it is to find.

Impressed and happyNov 02, 2008
I bought this label maker after a friend told me it was one of the best purchases she had made because it helped her organize her entire life! According to many books, a label maker is also one of the best first steps in de-cluttering your house. So I figured for the price I would try it. After about 4 weeks, I am impressed. The labels have adhered well to plastic bins, paper, and wood. The ink has not worn off them and is dry immediately after printing. The label backs are also easy to peel off. I just ran out of tape tonight from the first roll. I would say I got a fair amount of labels out of that roll as I used it off and on. The interface is very intuitive and easy to use. The screen is large enough to read well. The buttons are large enough too so you do not have input errors. I like that the labels are not overly tacky so that I can reposition them on plastic easily if I put it on crooked. The only time I had a problem was when I tried to put a label on a wire file divider. The surface was irregular and they are less secure. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and would buy it again.
