Great Basic Labeler, But Power Hungry

The "Brother PT-80 P-touch Electronic Labeling System " is a very inexpensive and easy to use labeler. We bought this when it was in the "Lightning Deals", so got it for a very a good price indeed.

Pros:
Solid construction
Easy to use
Easy to get consumables (label cartridges)

Cons:
Eats batteries
No AC adapter

Over all, highly recommend for household/light usage.

Easy to Use

This product is very easy to use. You can set up and start using even without looking at the directions. I did have to read the directions for the meaning of some of the buttons. You can adjust height, width and add symbols, etc. I have been wanting a labeler for awhile and read that this one was easy, cheap and recommended. That did it for me.

I have to say as some others have, it does go through batteries. It takes four AAA batteries and after 15 labels that I printed all at one time, it needed new batteries. I'm going to invest in some rechargable ones for this since I already have a charger for them anyway.

This is perfect to label DVDs, file folders and we are building a new house and for awhile at least I'm going to label the light switches so I will know what turns what on. The uses are limitless.

I want to give it 5 stars... but I can't!

I love this item--it is quick, easy to use and inexpensive. It makes beautiful labels as well which are incredibly useful. The issue has been that it gobbles batteries at an alarming rate! When I read the reviews, I figured I wouldn't be using it *that* much and that the folks who mentioned battery life were probably using it a lot more than I would. Well, I use it pretty darn sparingly (I think I've printed 20 labels total) and, I kid you not, I've been through 8 triple A batteries in owning it for 3 months or so! Not only does that make it expensive, it makes it a pain because you have to keep buying batteries (or invest in rechargeables which are not cheap). Why? All because it DOES NOT have an AC adapter port! If it had such a port, even if it didn't come with an adapter, I would rate it 5 stars. As it is, you have a great device with a serious power issue. 3 stars is the best I can do. If you are using this at home, get one of the other models with an adapter---this way the only consumable is the tape.

great gift

we have just loved having this for scrapbooking and also for putting our names in all our summer reading.

Nice little labeler

Nothing fancy, but it seems to work really well thus far. I haven't tried doing anything extraordinary with it, but it does create nice little labels. =:)

With the PT-80, you can create labels for any application. Select from the many frames, character sizes and styles to design beautiful custom labels. In addition, the variety of tape cartridges available allows you to print labels with different widths and exciting colors.
