Works fine, problem is it prints twice the label that it needs to.

 

Works fine, problem is it prints twice the label that it needs to.

I'm happy that it is able to print labels, but not that it prints long, wasted space so that you end up having to trim it with scissors every time you print something. I'd recommend buying a Dymo label maker, this one wastes space on every label!

Wastes tape

 

Wastes tape

I recommend against the purchase of this labeler. The device is designed to waste tape. There is no way to avoid losing at least a 1.25" chunk of tape (0.75" leading, and 0.5" trailing) for each individual label printed, in the common use case where a...

great deal

This product was shown elsewhere at a much higher price so I am very pleased with the price. This is a Christmas gift so I didn't open it up and try it out. The recipient will let me know what she thinks but all in all this was a good experience.

Good Labels, Awkward Keyboard

 

I got this on a NewEgg deal for $9.99 free shipping, I got it as a second labeler to keep in my toolbox and I didn't want to spend a lot of money. Next time I need a P-Touch, I will spend more money for a better keyboard layout.

Brother makes great quality labels, this unit is no exception

Keyboard layout is 6 rows of 5 keys - NOT QWERTY ; This makes typing labels a bit of a headache, and it is not easy to make labels quickly

Battery problems - solved by using adapter or lithium batteries

 

Battery problems - solved by using adapter or lithium batteries

The labeler works fine. The problem is that batteries need to be at max (by alkaline standards) and, when the alkalines degrade even the slightest amount, the labeler believes the voltage is too low and the unit shuts down. The solution is to use...

Wastful Product

 

Wastful Product

I have used label makers for years. I got the Brother P-touch PT-1010 to replace an older P-touch that stopped working. What a disappointment! This one is so much more complicated to use than my old one and the labels print out with an inch of...

Brother PT-1010 handheld labeler

 

Brother PT-1010 handheld labeler

The labeler works OK. It would be to its advantage to have instruction printed in readable print, not in minuscule letters. The instructions should be simplified to be user friendly. The unit itself does what it is supposed to do, thus the performance...

Increadible waste of tape!

 

Increadible waste of tape!

If you buy the PT-1010, you will also need a pair of scissors to cut the excess wasted tape. I am very disappointed with this item, it waste about 6 cm (2 Inches) of tape with each and every print. With the added insult of the extra work because now...

They give out the labelers at a lose so you will buy their refills. Check out the prices of refills before buying.

Came free with a HDD. Works as advertised

I wish refills were cheaper
