4.0 out of 5 stars Organize Yourself, and Your Loved Ones, This Holiday Season., December 10, 2009
This review is from: Brother PT-1090 P-Touch Home & Family "Simply Stylish" Labeler (Office Product)
PROs:

A Stylish Way To Print --- The P-Touch 1090 offers many desirable options including a nice array of decorating styles and colors. You can even print your own clothing labels and iron them on - I will be doing this with all my aprons & chef hats. I liked the fact that the tape included when you purchase the P-Touch is indoor-outdoor laminated - so the labels are waterproof, this makes it perfect for kitchen projects.

Size Is Not A Problem --- This label maker is very ergonomic. I have small hands and didn't feel awkward when I was using it and was able to grasp it well. The P-Touch 1090 feels like it has some weight to it, but nothing that would tire out your hand or wrist. Everything is self contianed - no cords or extra materials to store.

Options Galore --- There are so many different options for tape colors - including gold on black , which makes using this label maker for entertaining projects ,so fun. The tape cartridge is easily added... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Too expensive in the long run, features aren't worth it., October 7, 2010

I'm a traveling geek so I bought this labeler to keep in my tech bag. I liked the cable label option a lot and that's what tipped the scales for me. However, in practice, it should be noted that the tape doesn't actually stick to cables. In addition, the half inch of excess tape is extremely wasteful. Adding insult to injury, the replacement cartridges for this model cost almost twice as much as replacements for other Brother P-touch models.

And just a bit of a peeve for me, the ridiculous number of buttons to press to get a simple hyphen... ugh.

Oh sure it's a nifty looking gadget with lots of features but you know, most of the time I'm just printing a quick label to stick on the side of a computer or some other device. Having to trim the excess tape in the field is just too much hassle for me. I'm ditching this model now that it's time to replace the cartridge.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Label Maker, But Keep A Pair Of Scissors And The Reference Cards Near You, April 18, 2010

I got this electronic labeler on sale for only $15 at Office Depot. It came with a roll of 16-ft black on white laminated labeling tape but it didn't come with batteries.

Pros:

The main features I like about the label printer is that is has the Deco Mode feature to print special designs for scrapbooking and birthday cards. Its display is very easy to read and the displayed icons are nice. It even has over 170 different symbols (a musical note symbol for my music downloads and a camera symbol for my photos) to pick from. I also like how there's 8 different frames to pick from too, so I can embellish my labels with stars, flowers, bubbles, etc. The date/time stamp thing with one keystroke comes in very handy, which is really convenient for installing batteries on smoke detectors for fire safety, and that's also good for indicating when was the last time I inflated the tires of my car to get a good gas mileage. I also don't even have to press a fn key to type... Read more
