Pros & Cons
Pros
Small and very portable, with a rechargeable battery. Charge via usb. The display is handy in determining if the unit is connected via bluetooth or usb.

Phomemo m221 is a great label printer that can accommodate over 50 types of labels/3 inch print width. The widest i have found is the 2.

Packaging/appearance
M221 was boxed with usb cord and small amount of 40x30 mm labels and set-up instructions.
Competitiveness
I have added photos of some of the labels i have printed on off-brand labels with this printer.
You can see the difference in spool size between the phomemo labels and various off-brand labels in the photos.
I have tested this on 5 different off-brand labels and they all work fine so long as you unroll a batch of labels off the large... Read More
