Great Quality for a Great Price

After having used the PT-1700 for many years, it was nice to see Brother have a smaller unit that did the same quality work . I look forward to using the PT-1090BK for many years to come. What I did do as a minor modification was to put a rough-sided velcro strip on either side of the casing so when I hold the labeler I will have a better grip when using it so it won't slip out of my hand.

Good for its purpose, but...

This remains a dependable item in my home office. It does its job with good durable labels that last. My one major issue with this is the amount of tape it consumes between uses. Cumulative leads over time reveal a considerable fraction of tape wasted in each cartridge.

PT-1090BK is great!

This label maker exceded my expectations. I bought it to label my electronics cables. I have found many more uses for it. I wish that I had purchased one sooner!

Easy to use!

The product is easy to use and convenient to carry along with due to it's portability. However, the battery easily drains out after just a few prints. I wished they made the item rechargeable.
