Customer Reviews
I buy a lot of electronics, and I'm always getting cables and adapters mixed up. I wanted to get a cheap electronic labeller I could use to get me out of this mess. This little puppy fit the bill perfectly.
Pro:
+ Inexpensive given the features: different size / color tape cartridges, different size types, etc.
+ cartridges are easy to pop in and out, and a little window on back lets you see what size / color cartridge is in, and how much tape is left
+ Input preview window is a big step up from using a non-digital labeller
+ Easy to use as a budget labeller. I didn't even read the manual, and am able to use it just fine.
+ Label tape has stayed stuck to everything I put it on: AC adapters, around cables, etc.
+ Built-in tape cutter works just fine (though you'll probably want to trim)
Con:
- Uses too much extra tape either side of what you print
- Tape is hard to remove backing from, I drive myself crazy trying!
- A bit big and bulky
Really the biggest complaint is the extra tape used. I print relatively short labels, e.g. 'cybershot' and wind up with an extra inch of tape on either side I have to trim down. Once it's trimmed, it takes a LOT of work to get the backing off the tape. Not so much once you get started, but getting that initial gap between the tape and the backing, D'OH!
I've had this for about a year so far, printed perhaps 50 labels, batteries are still just fine. It's got a 9 volt DC slot, so I guess you could just power it directly or use rechargeables if you care.
I'd buy it again. I did a lot of looking around, this was one of the cheaper digital labellers, and I'm happy with the quality.
I needed a basic labeler for labeling my files, etc. This works great. It takes 6 AA batteries. I do agree with other reviewers that the labeler is not very easy to figure out how to work without referring to the directions. I spent at least 30 minutes getting myself familiar with how to change font size, delete what I had written (with out changing font size) and then delete everything, including font size and how to print 2 lines of text, etc.
Without the directions, it would not make sense, but after that first afternoon of using it to label my files, I was able to put the directions away because it makes sense to me now. Plus the 1/2 inch tape is perfect for labeling my work files. This label machine also comes with one 1/2 inch black on white tape dispenser.
You will need to refer to the clipart chart that came with the directions if you want to include any cute little pictures, but I find I will rarely be using that except for maybe labeling things for my 5 year old.
No complaints, this is a great label machine for us!
