Perfect Little Labeler
I dont use this Labeler for anything too sophisticated, If all you need is something labeled, short, simple, to the point this will do it. I use it to label various small items with my name, and to label little drawer organizers, and file labels. There are some symbols I wish it had that it doesnt, but they are pretty uncommon anyway and nothing a little abbreviating cant solve. It might do some extra stuff, I dont know but ive had it for quite awhile now and it is great, its very durable, the labels are easy to find, and if you ask me, the price is very reasonable (on amazon.com.

Good basic labeller
I found it to be very simple to use and it creates nice-looking labels. The only downside is that it does seem to go through batteries fairly quickly, but I use rechargeable batteries so it's not too bad.

Battery Issue
I see now that other people have had this same issue. $29 is a good price until you have to figure in $5 every other month for batteries. I use the PT-80 to make 5-10 labels a month and I continue to get the battery message. The PT-80 actually stops printing and feeding even though the measured voltage on the 1.5vdc batteries is 1.52-1.54vdc. Brand new batteries, they measure 1.59vdc, still get the battery message after printing 5 tapes.
