Definately worth buying. The plusses definately outweigh the minuses on this one. Overall, I'm quite happy. However, I docked an egg because of the contrast issue and lack of enough contrast levels.
Nice hard case, comes with storage for 4 label casettes aside from the one that is in the unit; It comes with an A/C Adapter and batteries; Truly Plug-and-play! This unit was easy to use, and I was able to get labels to print in just minutes after unpacking
The contrast on the display was very poor; Even checking all the contrast levels (only 5..boo...) I still was not happy with the contrast; If you hold the unit at the right angle, it's very readable, but when you first pick it up to use it, it's hard to read until you tilt the unit "just-so.
