Some people, especially those with poor vision, may like these so they can read the label with their hands.

3 C's says the average is $9.99 with an occasional drop to $9 or $8.50 in the last couple of years, so if you're just impulse buying, skip it Smilie

You don't see them much, seems most have moved to thermal printers. I found an old one in a file cabinet at work and two rolls of tape - labled everything. Friend's cars, bottles of beer "Ryan's Beer", they make okay bracelets but pull out a person's hair. Smilie

1987 called and wants their label maker back.

Features to include but not exclude:
-Labels will quickly start curling away from the surface you applied it to, loosing all tackiness and falling off within a week. You will use scotch tape to reattach....don't pretend you won't.
-Letter impressions will be uneven and sometimes unreadable
-Somehow you'll always miss the letter you were aiming for and get two half impressions of the letter and an adjacent letter.
-Cracking in label tape when exposed to sun, shade, air, vacuum, moisture, lack of moisture, standing air, breezy air, bad music, good music, or in the general presence of gravity.
-Cuts underneath fingernails when trying to remove backing. Think Chinese bamboo torture without ever being captured by the Chinese or having information worth extracting.

All jokes aside, I didn't think these things were made anymore and are nice that it requires no batteries. My label maker costs me 6 AAA batteries every time we use it because of the memory feature quickly drains the batteries when not in use. Yes I could remove the batteries after using....stop judging me.

I also had a similar label maker back in the 80's as a kid. This is all true. Perhaps the adhesive has gotten better in the last 30 years.

Almost bought one for nostalgia, but there's an Amazon comment showing the difference in quality between this and an old rotex 880, I think if I wanted something really nice I'd find a rotex.

Have you people seriously not taken a step into a Staples in the last 20 years? They've always sold these. My local Dollar Tree has one too in the crafts section. I'll see if I can buy one and report back on it's quality.

found a youtube vid:

I actually saw one today at the Dollar Tree but could not tell if it came with tape or not. Do you know if it does?

I had the same issue and picked up a "universal" DC power adapter for mine. Not as portable, but I was always printing labels at my desk anyways.

I have the urge to randomly label stuff like the circuits on my breaker box and that worn knob on my Technics receiver….
