The Reizen is a terrible braille labeler. Once you use the tape loaded in the labeler and replace the tape, brailler won't advance tape. I purchased two of these labelers thinking that the first one had a problem, just to find out that this happened with both labelers. Would not recommend this labeler to anyone.

This thing is cheaply made and barely useful. They should be ashamed of themselves.

This product is useless. DO NOT BUY!
It is a cheap copy of the 3M product which is no longer manufactured. It doesn't cut properly, doesn't imprint properly, doesn't turn easily between letters and places cut lines across the tape when imprinting letters. Have had two of these and they are both the same. Very Disappointed - doesn't deserve even a 1 star rating.

If zero stars were a choice, that's what this product would get!

Years ago, my husband had a Dymo (all metal) label maker (no longer made) that lasted for MANY YEARS. We were able to get replacement cutting blades to prolong its useful life, so it kept going for more years than we can remember.

Once that Dymo label maker finally died, we replaced it with what was available (3M, made of plastic), which lasted for a couple of years, but you couldn't get replacement parts.

When this Reizen label maker was offered--at a higher price--we decided to try it in hopes of getting a better quality Braille label maker. It turned out to be LOWER quality. Because we had paid more for it, we tried to make it work, despite the frustrating problems associated with the tape not advancing, the letter wheel binding when you tried to turn it, and the cutting process not working right.

We finally decided that we would be better off tossing it. It hit the trash can this week.

Still looking for a good quality Braille label maker!

Yes, it doesn't cut. Yes, you have to press hard to make the braille readable. Yes, the old Dymo braille labeler was great. However, it is no longer available. This model is the only braille embossing labeler you can buy. As a rehab therapist for people with low vision I buy a lot of these because they are the only option. I press hard to advance the tape, then I pull it out by hand and cut it with scissors. The entire process stinks, but I remember the many years when NO hand-held, manual braille labeler was available. This this is better (barely) than nothing.
