Handy office tool
This gadget is a great product [...]. It's the first label maker I've bought and I'm very happy with it. It's extremely helpful (and fast) for making the perfect size file folder tab labels, and then I can also make tiny custom labels for other things. I highly recommend it. My only issue is that the Battery warning comes up a lot even though I have fresh batteries, but it still works just fine.
AWK! No Power Adapter!
I bought this P-Touch and also bought the power adapter. I looked all over the power adapter page to see which models it worked with, but couldn't find anything, so I "hoped" the adapter and the PT-80 worked together. When I got the PT-80, I found there was no where to plug in the adapter. So, I returned it and ordered the PT-1280 instead. Unfortunately, the PT-1280 didn't have great user comments, so I hope it's okay (haven't gotten it yet), but at least it will work with the adapter I bought. I just can't be bothered with the battery problems.
Great product............BUT
Battery life is terrible. Wish could be plugged in for use.
Also labels are VERY expensive.
My personal experience with a Brother P-touch Labeler PT-80.
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($[...]), 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.
