2 out of 5 stars Surprisingly difficult to use and expensive   October 13, 2008

Most significantly, it doesn't save much time when it takes 15-20 seconds just to peel the backing off every single label! I thought date-stamping some food would be a good idea, but I just grab a pen now.

I couldn't get it to print, at first, and read the manual completely trying to figure out the problem. It turns out the back of the printer has to in place before it will print. Clever, but it would have been nice to include that in the trouble-shooting section!

I had to read the manual to figure out how to get it to feed labels--it just shouldn't be that difficult to use.

I've used it to print maybe a dozen labels in 3 weeks and the batteries are already shot! That just seems ridiculous to me.

In reality, it seems this printer will be a lot more expensive to use than I ever expected.

It's not the world's best labelmaker, but at it's price point I'm satisfied with it. I bought this for my small business so that I could label cables, computer parts, power adaptors, spindles of cds, etc. Works fine.


3 out of 5 stars Can be fixed to use batteries correctly   September 12, 2008

I bought this item several months ago and promptly packed it away when I found out that you could only print 1 or 2 labels before replacing the batteries. I figured I had just received a bad one.

Recently we used one that we found unopened at work. I printed one very short label using brand new batteries and the battery died. I figured I'd need to forget about this one too. Fortunately, the man who repairs our transports came in and noticed the label maker. He inquired about it and I explained what had happened. He went and got a pencil (he used the eraser) and did something to the batteries and the label maker. The batteries work again and haven't died since. I wish I knew exactly what he did.

I originally would have rated this item a 1 but now give it a 5. Hence I averaged the total and gave it a 3 here.

I have owned this labeler for a couple of years and use it at school to label my student's instrument lockers. I rarely have had to change the batteries, although I think having to use 3 batteries in a machine like this is a bit much. It has been a terrific little labeler! the tapes are way too expensive, but they do offer nice color combinations.
