Epson's LabelWorks LW-600P Portable Label Printer is (while similar in size and weight), a bit taller than it is wider. In fact, aside from the P-touch Cube being a little wider, the two printers look quite similar-cube-shaped with rounded edges.
The label printer measures 4.5 by 2.5 by 4.5 inches (HWD) and weighs about an ounce-and-a-half short of a pound, which is similar to the Dymo MobileLabeler's dimensions of 5 by 2 by 5 inches and weight of just over a pound. In addition to our review unit with its white chassis, Brother offers the P-touch Cube ($57.99 at Best Buy) in blue. The good news is that the bundled Brother P-touch Design&Print app is simple to use, allowing you to produce a variety of good-looking plastic labels for your kitchen, garage, bedrooms, office, and schoolroom, making the P-touch Cube an easy top pick as an entry-level label printer for families, small workplaces, and classrooms. In other words, its only mode of operation is connecting wirelessly to your iPhone, iPad, or Android mobile device. Most professional- and consumer-grade label printers (such as our Editors' Choice Brother QL-820NWB and the Dymo MobileLabeler, respectively) let you design and print labels from your computer and/or mobile device, but the Brother P-touch Cube ($59.99) is the first one that we've reviewed that cannot be tethered to a PC or a Mac via a USB cable.
