Love it!

Love this label maker! Super easy to use via Bluetooth on my iPhone.

Excellent label printer; everything gets a label.

I had an old handheld brother label printer that was big, clunky and cumbersome to use. After using it for quite a few years, I got fed up and decided to buy a modern label printer. I bought, and still use occasionally, the PT-1230PC. That one is way ahead of the handheld label printers, but still has shortcomings; mainly the fact that a power adapter isn't included, and that the cutter is manual rather than automatic. Print quality also isn't as sharp as the P710BT. Like I said, I still use that one occasionally, mostly to print temporary/short term labels. I bought this one because it accepts a huge variety of label tapes, up to 24mm wide, and has an auto cutter. I use this one strictly connected to my PC; no bluetooth/app usage. I prefer the full-fledged p-touch editor software. My main usage of this amazing little printer is for making labels for power adapters, and for labeling my hardware bins with all the various sizes of the nuts, bolts, screws, etc., that I use. Connectivity is easy; just a micro usb cable from the printer to my PC. USB C would have been nice, considering the price of this printer, but that's a minor quibble. I love the shape and aesthetic of the printer; I prefer simple designs with soft edges and clean lines, so with the printer being a simple cube shape with rounded corners and edges, works perfectly for me. No hard edges to grab when handling it to change label tapes, which I do often. I do wish it came in the blue color the previous p-touch cube is available in though. Print quality is great; nice and sharp. I make all my labels in the p-touch editor PC software, which is easy enough. No complaints there. Like all label printers, there's about 1" of waste at the beginning of each label. I minimize this by typing out my labels on a single, long label, then use scissors to cut each label individually. That way, I only lose that first inch instead of an inch with every label. I only buy genuine brother TZe label tapes; I know there's a ton of aftermarket tapes, I just prefer to stick with genuine tapes. In case I have any issues, brother would be able to provide support/replacements. I mostly use the strong adhesive tapes; specifically TZe-S221 (3/8" black print on white tape) and TZe-S135 (1/2" white print on clear tape). I'll be adding some other colors too. I absolutely love the auto cutter. That alone makes this printer worth the asking price. In short, I couldn't be happier with this printer. Unless it was offered in blue, in which case I'd have another one on the way!

LOVE IT!

So easy to use! It arrived with two sample tapes: black on white and black on gold. Love how convenient it is, wireless, and that I can preview how it looks before printing a million different versions. Love that I'm not limited to a single font or 3 different sizes on whatever width of tape. Only thing was I needed to charge it a little right out of the box. But I was still able to use it almost immediately so I'm not even going to dock it a star. Buuuuut like any labeler, there's so much tape wasted prior to each print, somewhere between .25-.5in.

Great case idea for your cube

PAIYULE Extra Large Hard Game Card Case for 2200+ Cards. Fits for Main Card Game - C. A. H. Card Game, for Pokemon Trading Card Game and All Other Card Games Expansions with Shoulder Strap is a great case for the Touch cube. If you have multiple cartridges than this case can hold your cube and the extra cartridges. As long as you're organizing you house.

Convenient and flexible, with some moderate limitations

I bought this printer for basic product labeling: things like serial numbers for products I make. I chose it because it's wireless and untethered (if you choose to use it that way), and the Bluetooth interface lets me programmatically generate, print, and even autocut labels. When I start doing small runs of products, each needing a unique label (due to changing serial numbers and MAC addresses), this is going to rock. The built-in rechargeable battery won't chew through alkaline batteries or require swapping out NiMH rechargeable cells (and it prints while charging, too). Brother has some other printers which don't require AA/AAA batteries, but this one comes with a battery, whereas the others that offer a rechargeable battery require that it be bought separately, and they're overpriced. The real deal-breaker over the other Brother plug-powered printers was that the other options use 12 V DC jacks, apparently wired for center-negative, outer-positive connections. This is really bad, because it means that replacement third-party power supplies have to be this special kind, and if you accidentally plug a Brother power supply into something else that uses 12 V, but wired for the almost universally-adopted center-positive standard, you could blow that device up. I've let that happen once and now I won't allow center-negative power supplies into my household. Micro USB bypasses all that; it's very much standardized. I spent a day hacking on someone else's open-source proof-of-concept Brother driver in Python. After sufficient tinkering, I can now print arbitrary monochrome PNGs (as long as they are the right height) on my Linux laptop via Bluetooth. It looks like it also supports USB communication, if you need to use it on a machine that doesn't have Bluetooth. I haven't tried the CUPS driver (but one exists) or the Windows utility. Brother publishes an excellent and detailed programmer's manual that gives you nearly everything you need to know to do your own custom low-level printing, so I think this can be great for production or manufacturing environments on a budget. The convenience of being able to do one-off labels from my computer or my smartphone is a also huge win (you know, the intended application, lol). I had a project where I needed to print labels for hard disk serial numbers, so I used a barcode scanner app to read the serial number bar codes from the hard disk labels and then copied/pasted them into the Brother print app. This sounds clunky, but it's way more convenient and error-proof than hand-keying all these numbers with a keyboard (whether on my phone or a label maker with a keyboard). In fact, lack of a keyboard on the label maker isn't really a concern here. You're probably a lot better entering text on a cell phone than you are on a clunky label maker keyboard anyway, and you get perks like autocomplete, copy/paste, drag-and-drop WYSIWYG font adjustment and positioning, etc. More great features: it has an automatic cutter, which is great for printing a batch of labels at once. And it's possible to chain print labels to avoid the wastage you normally get at the beginning of a standalone label. You still do have to waste about an inch of tape for each batch job that you do, but that's not really a big deal. The Brother app on Android is okay and somewhat easy to use once you get the printer to pair with your phone and get the app to recognize it. It's got some quirks and annoyances, but no show-stoppers. For example, fine position adjustment of objects like text or images is tricky, because if you only move your finger a little bit, it'll think you're long-pressing the object and offer to delete the object or whatever. You have to move objects faster (and therefore further away than you want) so that it recognizes that this is a move command, and then you have to move it back to be closer to where you want. And it doesn't show the object as it's being moved, it only shows the bounding box, so it can be tricky to get objects to go exactly where you have them in mind. I decided to review it after I dropped it onto some concrete stairs I tripped on (I broke most of its fall--d'oh!), and it's still working. Weaknesses of this printer: * While this is a Bluetooth printer, it has no security, and no way to disable Bluetooth that I've seen. It's an open Bluetooth printer for anybody within range to pair with and print to. This will probably never be a real-world problem for me, but in theory some neighbor's kid could eat through all my tape with dumb/offensive messages if I left this turned on. * It automatically powers off a little zealously when left inactive while running on battery power. If plugged into a USB port, I think it still auto-powers-off, but much less quickly. Bluetooth should be pretty light on current draw if done correctly, so it'd be nice if they didn't turn it off so quickly. * It doesn't support 1.5" TZe tape, only up to 1". That's still pretty good, but I didn't realize I was limiting my options when I bought it. * The TZe tape cartridge system and/or Brother's standard print heads require a lot of top/bottom margin; the print area is smaller than I'd like. For example, for the 1" nominal/24 mm actual tape, the print area is 128 dots vertically, or 18.06 mm high. That means you have a required margin of at least 3 mm on the top and bottom. This margin gets smaller with smaller tape widths, down to almost nothing on the 3.5 mm tape. Look up the Brother programmer's manual for this printer to find the exact limitations if this matters to you. * The print resolution isn't super great, but it does have a reasonable high-resolution mode. This prints at 360x180 dpi instead of the usual 180x180 DPI, presumably by running the tape a little bit slower through the print head. This does improve text and graphics legibility, in a similar way to how subpixel antialiasing improves text legibility on a computer LCD screen: the horizontal resolution matters more, so it's good that it can boost that dimension of resolution.

Quite an advance for p-touch machines

This machine has a great quality that you will not know unless you try - it can connect to several phones and memorize their connection without having to re-pair the bluetooth every time. Very useful if you have several co-workers using it as well. Device itself is sturdy and now extremely mobile due to battery (which also is replaceable). Connects to computer as well and prints labels from old templates from previous models with no problems.

A couple of months on a I find all sorts of reasons to lable stuff..

I am glad to say that I really do like this little machine. I am glad that I caught the fact that the Plus modle can accept .94 inch tape. The Blue Tooth connection was easy to set up on both my Samsung Android tablet and on my Samsung S8 Android phone. It's aggrivating that it spits out (wastes) a 1/2 inch of tape just before it prints. I could understand why it would do this one the first lable that is printed AFTER you insert that cartridge, but not before EVERY label. I am hopefully close to succeeding in getting software loaded that will work from Windows 10. Even if I cannot get Windows 10 to work with the Cube Plus I am pleased with what this thing does. You'll just have to wait til' you get yours to see what it can do. A final bitch note. At over $100 you'd think the tight-wads could give you a FULL roll of tape instead of just a sample. or perhaps a coupon you could use at your local shop good for a couple of rolls of tape....sigh. Update: This afternoon I located the utility to install Windows 10 compatible software for the Cube Plus printer. Actually it will find any Brother printer installed on your system. I was able to check the capabilities and print a few labels. (ADDING A NOTE) I succeeded in locating software for your desktop PC or Mac (not in the same program). Search for Ptouch Editor 5.2 on the Brother site.

Exactly the product fans have been waiting for

Exactly the product I had been waiting for! 1” tape support with Bluetooth connectivity (vs WiFi which is a pain to connect to when using outside). And compatibility with the excellent iPrint&Label app!
