Customer Reviews

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.

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

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.
