The label maker works like a charm, especially after you read the instructions (I finally did and now understand what I did). I have labels everywhere and I had a label party in my husband's garage!

Well worth the price. Great that it prints on up to 5 lines when using the appropriate cassette. I believe it will last just as long as my previous Brother labeller.

Fills my expectations. With included power supply, I never have to worry about batteries. The unit is extremely easy to use.

A great improvement over the previous model that I had. This one is much easier to program and the screen tells you what is happening.

This is a good label maker. It's very clever to decide on its own what size text to use. It's very simple to use. A warning. I carefully read the instructions and was confused by the dizzying number of available functions and features the printer has. I discovered after using it for a while that you can simply take all the default and generate very useful labels.

Has nice features and makes beautiful labels. However, it burns up a lot of label tape. There's just too much label feed at printing. If I make multiple copies of a label (a nice feature, there's more blank label than printed.

Our ancient labelmaker finally died recently, and we ordered the new one. Wow, I had no idea there would be so many great features. We opted for the A/C corded one. Some of the tape we had on hand was compatible, but other cartridges were not so be aware of that. I love this machine and use it often.

Glad there is a good manual to help me learn how to use all the features.

This is more than I've ever done with a label maker before. My workflow has been to create labels for reuse with occasional one-time-use labels. I save the labels to be reused in the label maker's memory and then when I create a one-time-use label, I erase whatever label is showing and type in my new label. If I need to get one my old labels, I just open it back up from memory. I have found the flag label useful for labeling phone charger cords.

Text is not sharp, no back lighting. Display is terrible.

I needed this for labels on essential oil bottles and they are perfect! No more hand-written labels that run and smear. The clear labels with white ink work exceptionally well on the dark oil bottles.

My organizer brought her Brother PT-D400AD to label during house organizing. Easy to use with so many options. Love the Qwerty keyboard. Love the bigger size and we have used it for all our labeling needs beyond household and kitchen including notebooks, etc. Highly recommend to all families and especially to my fellow OCD organizing types. Note: Be sure to double check the color of the label tape when reordering. We prefer the white label with black ink. We ordered wrong color - clear with black ink. We use on notebooks now that we opened the box but we prefer the white tape. PS. Brother, is there anyway that you can put labels inside the labeler that shows how to install the replacement label tape PLUS on the bottom with condensed version of instructions on options? So many. Those instruction manuals are SO unfriendly.

This product makes very nice looking labels, but the power block seems to have problems: If I leave the power block plugged in and just disconnect the low voltage output wire , then when I later reconnect it I sometimes get shock from the exposed metal tube that is used as one of its terminals (the other terminal is set back where it can't be touched. Is that really how you expect it to work? It bothers me enough that I can not use the power block at all, and have to run the label maker from batteries, which is what I was trying to avoid by getting this model in the first place!!!

This label maker does lots more than I expected. All kinds of options I never thought about allow me to create labels for all types of uses. Print is precise, clear, easy to change fonts, symbols, etc. Would recommend to anyone needing an easy to use machine with lots of options.

A little intimidating at first, so many choices and buttons, but very easy to use when you get the swing of things. Like everyone else I hate the waste between labels, but decided to just go with it and be done!

Still learning about all the feature. Will move into a new home next year and plan to label EVERYTHING that I box for the move.

I had another brother label maker that gave up after almost 30 years of service. I picked this label maker because of all the features. I love the 3/4 inch tape capacity. Highly recommend

Needed to label some wires in a car I am building. Researched many label makers on line and buying directly from Brother was my choice. This is the best label maker for my needs. I am happy with my purchase.
