This Power Adapter for the Brother P-Touch 1280 works well, has a long (6+ feet) power cord, and doesn't introduce noise problems to other equipment. The real beauty of it is that it eliminates the need for batteries, therby significantly reducing operating cost. It's a good device, and relative speaking, a greener way to go.

I attempted to use rechargable batteries in the label maker but was constantly required to recharge them unless I used the label maker more frequently. Getting an AC Adapter resolved the problem. I still have the option to use batteries for convenience but the adapter saves on time and frustration. Works great!

Ordered the standard AD24 Brother power adapter directly from Amazon but received a Brother AD-24-ES which is significantly smaller (3" x 1 7/8" x 1 1/4") and lighter than what's described on the website. Appears to work fine thus far. 6' cord is a big advantage for flexibility.

i am soooo glad i found it for a reasonable amount of money. Brother charges like $30 and i found it much cheaper here. it works fine. no surprises.

The Brick was ordered for the P Touch label maker as battery life is not good. The Brick I thought I was getting would work on other P Touch label makers we have in the office but its output it 1/2 of the others. At $20 Its too much for this brick and I could have used one from a set of cheap speakers for the label maker. The label maker its self works ok but uses alot of tape and reducing the amount of leader and trailer from the label is hard to control. I should have bought the same one we have at work. Be careful for what you ask for. All in all the label maker works ok but the tapes the T Z's cost about $10 each which is more than the Dymo's. Is good for what it is.

I had the little label printer that used 6 AA and didn't have the A/C adapter so either it didn't have batteries or it drained them in a few days. With this and a different unit I can print a label when I need one.

It could have been just my rechargeable batteries, but man... my P-touch would go through batteries like crazy. This adapter is a necessity! I wish this had already came with the labeler to begin with, but I'll take what I can get. The cord is quite long, which makes it easy to work with. If you don't already have this, you have to get it! I can't believe I waited so long.

The size of this replacement unit over the OEM power supply is great. It is like using a cell phone charger instead of a box of nails! Wish I had replaced the old unit years ago!

The Power Adapter for P-touch works just fine. I would give it a 5 start rating if the cord were a little longer.

Purchase this & you won't use all your money purchasing batteries. Save your money that you would use buying batteries on something you want.
