Makeid Q1 Label Maker Machine with Tape – Portable Bluetooth Label Makers for Home & Office Organization – Compatible with Apple iOS & Android – Clear Prints, Custom Templates & Fonts, Retro Design

Purchasing tape refills could get expensive
This is the cutest little label maker! It looks like a mini typewriter and connects to an app on your phone via Bluetooth. There are three buttons on the label maker that can be used without the app: P for power, D for printing numbers or dates, and C for custom or preset words. The arm on the side (carriage return lever) serves as a manual tape cutter. All other features–such as label templates, fonts, size options, frames, borders, stickers, and logos–must be set up through the app.Included in the box are the label maker, USB-C cable, one thermal label roll (clear, peel-and-stick), an instruction booklet, and two quick reference cards for setting up the label printer and custom and date buttons. Since it comes with only one roll of labeling tape, you may need to purchase refills quite quickly, depending on how much you use the machine. The cheapest brand-name tape refill on Amazon was three rolls for $11.99 or $4 each. Each roll is only about 13 feet long, which means it may not last very long based on your usage.I plan to use the label maker this fall when my kids go back to school. I can label their binders, folders, and supplies so they can keep track of all their belongings. It’s user-friendly enough for them to handle the labeling themselves, which I am really excited about!Overall, I am happy with this product, but I can see that purchasing refill tapes could become costly. I may need to look for more affordable generic tapes that I haven’t found yet.

Almost Perfect
This little label maker is absolutely adorable! It’s shaped like a mini typewriter, which makes it a fun addition to my desk setup. It’s super easy to use and prints nice, clear labels, which is exactly what I wanted. Plus, it came with a free roll of transparent labels, so I was able to start using it right away.The label options are pretty flexible—you can choose from pre-cut sizes on a roll or use the continuous roll like the one that’s included. The continuous roll is great for custom sizes, but just a heads-up, the max label width is 16mm, which is a bit narrow, so keep that in mind for bigger labels.My only gripe is that it seems you have to use their specific brand of labels. That’s always a bit annoying, especially when you’re used to buying generic alternatives. I’m not a fan of being locked into a particular brand for consumables, but I guess that’s a common trend with gadgets like this. Still, it works well and looks cute, so I’m willing to overlook it—for now!
