 Battery problems - solved by using lithium batteriesOct 27, 2009
The labeler works fine and a big benefit is it uses the cheap(er) M tapes. The problem is that batteries need to be at max (by alkaline standards) and, when the alkalines degrade even the slightest amount, the labeler believes the voltage is too low and the unit shuts down. The solution is to use lithium batteries which are 1.7v at full charge instead of alkaline (which are about 1.5v at full charge). Unit works fine with lithium batteries.
Not sure why Brother went to 4 cells on the PT-80, when 6 cells were used in the PT-65. The PT-65 has no problem with using alkaline batteries, even with heavy use.

 Made my mess look betterOct 16, 2009
It was a great value. I only paid $12 through Amazon. Its light and easy to use initially. When I wanted to change direction of text or change font I did have to get out the manuel. It was easy to read and follow.
Despite what other reviewers have said, I've never had a battery problem. Spent 6 hours one day labeling files, never quit on me. I must have used it for 2 months before having to change original batteries.
I did find that it wastes a lot of tape. Although I found the tape at reasonable prices, 2 pk for $12. I frequently found myself trimming some of the labels with scissors. Maybe there is a setting that fixes it?
 Terrible battery lifeOct 13, 2009
While it is a good label maker, it wastes batteries! I popped in brand new batteries and printer 1 label. Kept it on the shelf for a few weeks. When I turned it on for printing the next label, it already complains that the batteries are weak! Unbelievable :-(
Loved it.Oct 08, 2009
Loved it. Easy to use. Very user friendly. Clear type on the labels. Lots of variety with type, size, borders, fonts, etc. There is a little slot on the side of the machine supposedly to help peel the backing off of the labels that doesnt work but I had no problem peeling the labels with my fingers anyways. No complaints.
Label making ,a great organizerOct 07, 2009
This unique and fun tool has certainly enhanced our on the road travel experiences. We now have cabinets and underneath storage filled with see through containers which are labeled on the outside. The label names each item that is in that container. This has enabled us to find exactly what we need at that moment instead of searching through each container.....What a wonderful addition to our R.V. lifestyle....Thank You
