Summary: A handy labeler
Review: I needed a label maker for a job at work, and this one was on sale. I used it, I like it, and I would recommend it. The only drawback is the price of the tape. It is a bit steep, but not prohibitive. I used all of the cartridge that came with the unit, and a part of a new, full cartridge, and I had no problems at all.

Summary: No warranty on these! Buyer beware!
Review: We bought one of these labelers. The first surprise came as we started to use it. As has been noted at length by another reviewer on this page, these labelers are designed to waste the tape. OK, we thought. Whatever.

Then, when the tape ran out, we purchased more via Amazon. Wow, these refills are unreasonably expensive! Brother clearly has a "give away the razors and sell the blades" philosophy, seemingly making all of their money on the tape. But we bought it anyway, cause what else were we going to do? We were stuck.

We got the tape, inserted it correctly. But the cartridge was faulty and it unraveled on the second label. Irreperable. So we called Brother and -- guess what -- the tapes have NO WARRANTY!!

So, unless you are in the mood to give Brother a *blank check* for your labeling needs, don't get into bed with them. They will leave you angry and wanting.

Summary: It works, it's inexpensive and there is alot of it.
Review: When I bought my Brother label maker, I bought two extra cartridges because I knew I'd be using it alot. Well its been almost six months, and I use the labeler every other day for something, and the cartridge that came in the labeler is still going strong. I've had no problems with running out or the labels not sticking. The only problem I have had was when I try to take the paper backing off of the label...maybe Brother could devise an easier way for a guy with no fingernails to get the backing off easier.
