Title: Eats Batteries - get one with a power cord
Product review: I wanted to reiterate that this thing *EATS* batteries. I thought I could combat this flaw with rechargeable batteries, but in the end it didn't work out. You end up getting stuck with a dead device while you wait for 6 hours for your batteries to recharge (Rechargeable batteries still loose their charge when they are not being used). I'm not saying you can't manage your battery usage and make this device work for you, but I will say that I don't have the time to worry if the batteries in my labeler are up to the task.Eventually I had an engineering buddy solder a power cord to the device so I wouldn't have to worry about the batteries anymore. Yes it's a hack, but it was cheaper than buying another labeler. If you're already looking to buy a $20/30 dollar labeler, I'd recommend getting one with an optional power cord.
