Our verdict

A small cube-shaped label maker that prints designs created in a phone app. It has no keyboard of its own, so a smartphone or tablet is required.

Overview

A home office desk or craft shelf with a smartphone nearby is where this Brother cube works. Labels are designed in a free app, sent over Bluetooth and printed on laminated TZe tape, so most of the work happens on the phone screen.

The reason to buy is design freedom: many templates, symbols, frames and fonts from the phone libraries. The limit is dependence on the app and the phone, with a narrow tape width and a single label per print job.

Who it's for

Households and home offices labeling storage, files and crafts will use the templates and fonts in the app. People with no handheld device to design on, or who want a keyboard and display on the machine, need a different kind of labeler.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Bluetooth printing from a phone
  • Large library of templates and symbols
  • Uses durable laminated tape
  • AC adapter and starter tape included
Cons
  • No keyboard or screen on the unit
  • Phone or tablet required
  • Narrow tape width only
  • Spec fields mix in unrelated printer data

Performance notes

The app lays out the label and sends it over Bluetooth, and a thermal head prints onto laminated tape, so there is no ink to refill. Label size is limited by the tape width, and print detail is set by the print resolution. Fonts available follow the phone libraries.
