I've owned and used a Brother P-Touch PT-80 Label Maker for years, but it'd seen SO much use that the key top lettering was wearing off. This replacement unit is in like-new condition, and as a bonus came with some extra tape. Product arrived on time, in excellent condition, and has already replaced my old workhorse.

Sweems there is some kind of problem with either the power button or the machine because it doesn't power on every time. I have to continually keep trying the power button or remove and reinsert the batteries. Not sure what the problem is but at least once it's on I can use it.

I have an older P-touch that is quite large and on a whim I picked this smaller label maker up for its tiny size. I really like it. The keyboard is easy to use. I can hold it in my two hands and type madly creating labels very quickly. The symbols and number keys are very easy to switch into and out of. I also really like that it is small enough to sit under my monitor next to my digital camera. I bought this labeler to keep my business organized. The main reason I feel the typical label maker never gets used is that it is too cumbersome to get it out, set it up and make the labels. With this little labeler you don't have any excuse to hand write any labels at all!
This is my personal experience with a Brother Labeler P-touch model PT-80. For several years I have owned a model PT-65 and like the PT-80 it is also made in China. The PT-65 has been very useful for the usual household needs of my family, but when my 6 year old girl dropped it and cracked the case I decided to step-up to a newer model. I purchased the PT-80 at a very reasonable price( $14), been aware that Brother makes it’s profits on the sale of the tape and not on the machine. My first experience was with trying to use a set of high quality rechargeable batteries, after the initial set-up I was able to print 2 labels, then the machine stopped in the middle of the 3rd label. Since the back of the PT-80 states “4 AAA Alkaline Batteries” I replaced the rechargeable batteries with Alkaline batteries, much to my surprise the PT-80 keep it’s settings and the text in memory during the battery exchange. I tried to print some new labels using additional styles and settings. I was able to print one label before the low battery indicator came on screen and then the PT-80 turned itself off. I was able to turn it on again and again, but it will only print part of the label every time. After reading reviews posted by other users, this is not be a defective PT-80, but a design problem. My old PT-65 uses 6 batteries and not 4 like the PT-80, and the batteries are the larger AA size and not he smaller AAA used by the PT-80. My recommendation is to avoid the PT-80, returning it for an exchange will not be practical due to shipping charges. Yesterday I was able to buy a Refurbished PT-65, like my old one, for less than 10 bucks and it works very well. Joaquin ArosemenaRead full review
Great little labeler for home or office use. My kids also had to label lots of items for school, so this was great. I gave one to their teacher so she could label things in the classroom also. Very easy to use and the print options are very versatile, so you can be as creative as you like.
