A modern label maker for everyday use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. The Brother P-touch CUBE Plus PT-P710BT Label Maker is a compact and powerful label maker that will make you forget about the way that you use to make labels. As a person that has to label files, boxes and cables every day, having a rechargeable mobile printer is mandatory.Physically, the cube weighs in at under 2 pounds and standing roughly 5 inches tall, the label maker itself was made for mobile use. Or in my case, it was made for use in every area of my office and storage rooms. The overall appearance of the cube is very sleek and modern, unless you actually pick it up you will not notice that it was a label maker. This provides a great aesthetic for office desk.The Cube Plus can be powered by either the provided USB charging cable or by the rechargeable battery that is also provided. If you tend to use your desk, I find it better to leave it connected and charging throughout the day. I found myself using the printer in more remote areas of my office so knowing that the battery is already charged save me from wondering if I remembered to charge it after the last use.Connectivity and multiple ways to print are my favorite features of the Cube Plus. Since the Cube Plus is a bluetooth printer, you can sync it to your phone or tablet and create labels via the iPrint&label and P-Touch Design&Print apps. These two apps are what makes this cube a great printer. Previously I was only able to print text labels but these two apps has a great option to print barcodes and QR codes from their template gallery and it totally changed my filing system in a couple of days. The auto sizing and cutting of the label by the printer made getting these different types of labels made quite easy. The Cube Plus also has an option to print from my computer as well, which is a great option but it wasn`t one that I have taken full advantage off since I prefer to work from my tablet.Overall, the Cube Plus is a great printer but there are a couple of little things that could be worked on. Since this is primarily operating on a rechargeable battery, it would have been great to have some kind of battery power indicator on either the printer or in the app. There were a few situations where I forgot to charge the printer and couldn`t use it until it had a decent charge. Also, the printer did not come with an ac charging adapter, just a charging cable. In this day and age, we all have multiple adapters at home so this isn`t a deal breaker but since i do not plan on using this with my computer often, having an adapter would have been nice.One semi major issue that I had was with a bluetooth connection problem when my tablet or phone would go to sleep or I would get a call. For some reason, the connection between the printer and my phone would break and it would take some time to reconnect. I would either have to restart my device a few times and turn the printer on or off a few times before I was able to get a stable connection again. This didn`t happen often enough where it made me not want to use the printer but it was a noticeable issue.All in all, I was pleasantly surprised at how well this printer performed. Coming from using a traditional label maker with a keyboard and tiny screen, having the ability to design label that are more than text makes this a great item for me. Charging the battery is simple, the printer uses the standard media size so I did not have to buy specialty media. Although I may invest in some different color labels to change things up a bit. Overall, I would highly recommend this printer to someone that prints a lot of labels on a regular basis and would like a change from the standard text of older printers.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I want to label everything now

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. The Brother P-Touch Cube Plus is now a staple on my desk, along with all my other important tools needed to run my home office. I`ve always wanted a label maker but never wanted to spend the money on one, because frankly, I wasn`t sure if I would use it enough. When I first got the label maker I immediately loved the look and feel of it. It felt sturdy and has a clean, tech look to it, that fits nicely with my others desk items. The tape cartridge is "old school" like the answering machine tapes, you would use years ago. I wonder if the cartridge itself will break easier because of the style. I haven`t had any issues with it yet, though. Loading the label maker with the different types of tape is easy. You open the maker, and just simply push the cartridge in, and then close the maker. I did have to charge my label maker before I could use it. I tried charging it through my computer, but since I had a screen saver on, it wouldn`t charge unless I was on my computer or at least had my computer on. I ended up charging through an electrical outlet on my wall. One full charge seems to be enough to get me through at least a few weeks. I haven`t lost any power to it yet. It does turn off on it`s on, once you stop using it, so that is a big help. It`s wireless so I download the Brother label maker app, (there are two of them) and was able to connect my maker to my smart phone. It`s as simple as adding a printer, or any other device. I did find that once I stopped using my label maker and I went back a day later to use it, I had to "find" it again on the app, not a big deal really, but it would be nice if my phone/app/maker would have it stored or at least automatically find it when I turn on my maker. Who knows, maybe I can, but I just don`t know how to do it. The app itself, has pre-made labels for you to choose from. It`s as simple as double clicking the label you want to edit. You can even save your labels, but I didn`t find a need for this myself. I had so much fun using my label maker. I`m not creative in any way, so I really liked that there were labels I could pick from. The label maker is so easy to use, that I started to organize and label my important files. I made name tags and made labels for my storage bins for the holidays. I started off with two different types of label tape. I have a clear and black label and a gold label with black lettering. You can choose the length of the label so it will fit properly. The only thing I didn`t like was before a label would print, a tiny square label would print and I felt like that was a waste. I couldn`t figure out how to get that to stop. The label itself is easy to peel and stick to your object. The sticky part of the label is split in the middle, so you bend the label a bit, and pull off the adhesive, and place your label where you want. I did notice that if I had a label that was longer, the label would curl at the ends and would stick together. But I was able to unstick it without ruining the label. These labels stick really well. I`m not worried that they will fall off later or be too sticky that it will leave a residue. I`m so happy with this label maker. It allows me to label things, have my items look clean and organized, and I can make a label in an instant.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome tool to stay organized

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. I was able to set the Brother P-touch CUBE Plus on my desk right next to my computer. It is very compact and does not take up much room on my desk. When I was not using the CUBE I was able to store it easily in the desk drawer. Setup instructions were easy, my 10 year old nephew followed along (instructions also had pictures to make setup quick and easy) and setup the CUBE including inserting the tape! Charging was quick and the app was easy to find in the app store on my Samsung android phone. There were two different tapes that came with the CUBE to make labeling things either fun and sparkly or standard and clean looking. We spent lots of time labeling and organizing the pantry and the boys playroom... the CUBE made it fun! From the ease of setup to the ease of use, I absolutely recommend this product. Suggestion: pay close attention to settings so not to waste tape printing labels that are too large for items you intend to label.
I would recommend this to a friend!

SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE OLD TYPEWRITER ONE!
on July 17, 2020

from North Potomac MD
This thing is amazing! It is so easy to use right out of the box. So many features but still much easier to use than the old typewriter one. I always had to relearn the old one and still didn't use much other than a basic label. Love all the difference things you can do with it.

Very convenient printer! One item that I noticed is that the tape cartridges use metric tape widths but the app uses US system of inches

Doesn't work with 64-Bit MS Office
on March 5, 2021

Why doesn't this app work with the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office? Severely effects how I had intended to use this. Lots of tape wasted too as a result.
