What kind of power adaptor does this use? I notice that they sell their own adaptor.. for 20 bucks. Don't want to use 6 batteries all the time.

The model number is AD-24. It is a 14.4 Watt switching adapter at 9 volts giving 1.6 amps. The plug uses positive outer conductor and is roughly 0.5 cm outer diameter and 3 mm inner. i think it's fairly common adapter you may have around the house.

The 1880C model comes with 6 AA batteries, the 1880W model comes with the AC adaptor - both cost less than this one and are the same base labeler - go figure!

I did not buy the power adaptor because this unit takes batteries and they last a very long time! I have enjoyed using this label maker due to the simplicity of the operations and I enjoy having everything organized!

On the side of the unit, it says "7-9 Volt", and a diagram for NEGATIVE CENTER. This is important because most wall adapters are positive-center, and using the wrong one might burn out the machine (unless the circuit designers went the extra mile to protect against that, which I'm not going to try to find out).

I reviewed the specs on a retailers web site. It mentioned this particular model adapter. See below.Power Supply Optional Adapter (PA-3C/PA-130), or batteries (Six "AA" size, LR6 or Ni-MH rechargable batteries)Power Consumption 8W (with Optional PA-130) Hope this helps.

Buy a dc adapter and it will work without batteries. Or buy rechargeable betteries.

It uses 6 AA batteries, happen to have the user guide handy. I have only used the AC power adapter and never tried using the unit with batteries yet.

No, It didn't come with an adapter. I. had to purchase one on line. It's a 6V 1A AC adapter. Works fine. $6.00.

Most convenience stores sell $6 AC USB and 12V Auto USB adapters. When I bought spare batteries I also got spare battery chargers. Now I charge two batteries at once! I have 4 charged batteries in my pocket when I go flying. That's probably one more than recommended due to motor overheating.

it's better to use the adaptor for as like all batteries they don't last long when constantly in use, battery portion is for when you are without power

It comes with adapter. I wondered that too but ordered it anyway knowing my granddaughter wanted it. I keep it plugged in all the time in her room. I haven't even put batteries in it.

Sorry, but I didn't get an adaptor with mine, although I will probably look to see if I have one that fits it. The battery life is not what I expected, nor is the brightness.

Boss makes an AC power adapter that is sold separately. You can also run it with a 9-volt battery.

The adapter is NOT included. I am running mine on 6 AA batteries. Also my unit is NOT the very attractive yellow color you see in the pictures! Deceptive!!!!! Mine is an unbelievably heinous flat orange color. It's grotesque.

It appears to use 6 AA batteries. I purchased the adapter so haven't used the battery option. Hope this helps.

Please tell me how much you had to pay for the ac adaptor. I am looking at 1100 mAh rechargable batteries for my cg9. Each battery is only $18, so $36 for two extra batteries. Even on a long car trip I can re-charge the 3rd battery as I drive. How often will I need more than an hour of power to record video? Does anyone know if there are problems using a higher output battery (1100mAh vs. 720 mAh original)?

It now comes with 6 AA batteries instead of a 9 volt. I spent $15.00 for an adapter that is useless!

It's not sold with an adapter. You need the weight of the batteries to make it functional. If you need one with a cord, you are better off picking out a regular plug in lamp. However, if you really need a cord for this, search for universal ac power adapter on amazon, looks like Hosa Cable ACD477 Universal AC Power Supply will work fine with this unit.
