No power!
This doesn't come with a power cord and Staples doesn't say this is the description OR sell them! I don't have six AAAs and don't want ti buy them that's why I chose this item that is described as having the plug in option. I am awaiting delivery of the cord I had to spend another $10 on then I can see how the label maker works.

Seems to waste a lot of the label paper
The machine is nice and handy, but it goes through the label paper like crazy! The labels come out with a lot of extra on the sides, seems like a waste.

Easy to Use
As a teacher, I have issues with organization. This label maker is so easy to use to make labels for all my files and folders at work! I also have young kids so I am using it to label their toy bins. It’s lightweight and portable. I like the different formatting options as well. I recommend!

great
Easy to use label maker!
Instructions were easy to read for the set up. Keyboard is easy to type on. Prints out in seconds. Easy to bring to work for its compact size. Batteries have lasted in it for a while too.

Love it
This is a sturdy little device. I played with it at home to get the feel for it before taking it to the classroom. I’ll be able to use this for so many things. Super easy to use. Love that I don’t have to charge it or change batteries often.

Great upgrade
I have had the same label maker since high school (which was 20 years ago) so it was time to grab a new one. This one is great quality and has some really cool border options and new fonts. It is the same size label and about the same size as my last one. It does take more batteries than my previous one.

I love it. It is easy to use. Now the craft room is organized and each drawer is labeled with the contents. Ordering the Brother label maker was easy and it arrived sooner than I expected. I will be reordering the Brother cartridges through Staples real soon. Again thank you.

Like it...
I loved my old Brother P Touch and when it finally took it's last breathe, I decided to buy another Brother Label Maker. Love that this one has a clean easy to see keyboard. However, it does not include instructions on how to use it. I was able to download the manual from the internet. I love all the options it provides as well. My only complaint/suggestion is tha...

This label maker is great for what I need it for. It is pretty simple but I don't need anything fancy for my office. The only thing is there were no instructions so I had to play with it for quite a while to figure out how to set the fonts and size.

Intuitif et facile
Excellente machine, toutefois le ruban n’est pas très long, acheter un ruban supplémentaire serait une bonne idée si vous l’utilisez beaucoup au début.

need a little help !
I like the different fonts and size of the letters, would appreciate it if the directions were a bit clearer on how to get better labels using different fonts. I'm a old man(78) need to learn how to use label maker for different projects. Are there any better directions on how to setup and use different fonts and background?

3/5 Stars
As others have mentioned, it does not come with the power cord or 6x AAA batteries. I've used it only a handful of times so far and I already got the "Battery is low" warning. Also, for the unit being as large as it is, I wish it had more fonts! It gets the job done...but would I purchase again? Not likely.

Great Easy To Use Label Maker
I received the Brother P-touch Personal Desktop Label Maker as part of a Stellar Product Testing Panel and I couldn’t be happier with it. It was extremely simple to set-up and as soon as I had the ribbon loaded and read the instructions I got to work. We relabeled the tops of our entire spice cabinet so it would be easier to pull out the correct ones. We also used it t...
