Bought this unit as an alternative to higher priced Brother units. I like that it uses the same TZe tape cartridges, so I can share cartridges with my Brother unit I keep at my storage unit. Having a rechargeable battery is also a bonus. You can use it with 6 AAA alkaline cells if you need to. Print quality and speed is on par with other units. Controls are generally well laid out and easy to use. Having a back lit screen is also a great feature, especially for those of us with less than perfect eyesight or working in low light conditions. Probably the biggest reason for 4 stars is that the case is very slick plastic. If your hands are even the slightest bit wet or oily, this thing can be a beast to hang on to. It would be a much better unit if the black banding around the unit was some kind of rubberized material to make it easier to hang onto. Also, the entire back comes off when you need to change tape cartridges or batteries. The plastic at the bottom of the unit is very thin so not sure how well it will survive even very mild impacts. Other than the issues noted, a good alternative to much higher priced units.

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.

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!

Works well and alot of features. Just waste alot of the paper in each cut. I tried messing with the features and nothing stops that extra blank space of no print. But it works.

So, as far as Chinese products, this does okay. But, it is pretty apparent with the packaging and spelling errors such as when you print instead of writing executing, it writes excuting. Outside of that, it prints labels decently and seems to have a good amount of options for printing. One thing that I do like is that it can print very small. I printed a label for a small hitch pin key. I have a few hitch pin keys, so its a pain to tell which goes to which. This label maker that can print small enough for the key is beneficial. To me, its greatest strength is it allows for three modes of power input and it feels pretty tough/well-built. First, it comes with a built-in lithium battery that looks like an older-style cell phone battery. MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE PLASTIC FILM BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND CONNECTOR TO GET THIS TO WORK. It also comes with a power adapter to where you can plug it in. Then it has three AAA slots to use batteries. With all these options, you know you can be portable with this thing. Its weakness is its not very intuitive. Ive yet to peruse the instructions, but, it took a little bit for me to figure things out by playing with it, although I did. One other thing I find annoying, and a lot is possibly from its vertical design, but the alphabet is written in alphabetical order rather than similar to a keyboard layout. Being a computer nerd over the years, its hard for me to find letters in alphabetical order as opposed to a keyboard layout. Altogether, this is a decent and commercial feeling label printer with some great options for power. If you think it fits your bill, it should do well to print labels in a work-type setting. If, you simply want to print some labels from a desk and use them around the house, you may find yourself better off getting a cheaper and desk-type label printer. This seems like it is geared more towards being on-the-go, in a shed/warehouse. But, it will still work fine for home use.

While this label maker may be overkill for some, its pretty great for anyone on the networking team or folks working in the IT Department. Ive been using this over our other Brother label makers for a month or so now and its performing just as well as the other label makers. I particularly like the margin settings so I can cut down on label tape waste. Ive only experienced a few jams since using it and in the few incidents it did jam part of the issue seemed to reside in the tape or the dispenser being blocked while printing.

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

So far I’m loving it. I like the lit screen and the fact that it comes with a charger and tape. It also winds the tape so you don’t have to. I would recommend

This unit does everthing it was designed to do.

It did not come with easy directions & the “shift” button is actually the blue arrow up button which does not tell you. However it is an awesome machine! Glad I purchased it!
