Don't put any labels on me
Date of Review: Mar 16, 2007
The Bottom Line: I love this little labeler it is portable, runs on batteries and helps keep our entire home organized.
I have always wanted a labeler ever since I can remember. I just never got around to purchasing one because it was never really a priority and something else usually came up.
Our family decided to do some heavy cleaning of our entire house which sorely needed it. We made the decision that if we weren't using things that we would either give it to charity or sell it in a garage sale or perhaps on eBay.
The further I got along in our cleaning the more I realized that it would be really nice to have a labeler to keep everything that I had cleaned organized and tidy. In one box I found at least 8 different chargers for various electronic items and I could only identify about half of them. At that moment I knew we really could use a labeler.
Oddly enough, when I looked into purchasing a labeler I went straight to my favorite office supply store, Staples. Amazingly enough Staples was running a Free After Rebate special on the Brother P-Touch 80. I ordered one online immediately and within 2 days it was at our home.
I am much one for instructions and I was able to figure out how to insert the labels, batteries, etc
and I was up and running within a few minutes. I did have to revert to the instructions a few times but for the most part the interface is self-explanatory.
I like how small and modern the machine looks. It is also nice that it runs on batteries so that it is truly portable. The labels seem to last a long time too. We have used it several times and it appears that we still have plenty of tape left. My whole family has enjoyed this purchase. My husband uses it to address his packages and my kids use it for organization and various school projects. I use it to keep my craft area tidy. There are literally tons of use for this little gem. I only wish that we would have purchased this way before now.
