I had a wedding this past May and boy was this a lifesaver! I was able to use this labelwritter to print the name cards for my table settings. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family.

Don't by the latest 550 or 5XL
on June 8, 2022
Posted by: collectibles
We have about 40 Dymo 400, 450 and 450 turbos deployed. We use 3 different size labels: 1x3 1/2, 1x2 1/8, and 1x1. We resell collectible items and the original packaging is very valuable to the items, therefore we use removable labels so we do not damage the valuable original packaging. Dymo does not offer removable labels. Even at a premium, we would consider buying Dymo labels, but they don't sell what we have been buying for years. We are forced to look for a different printer manufacturer.
While testing, we noticed the Dymo 550 would not even recognize its own labels. You have to spin the labels until the printer recognizes the RFID chip inside the roll. This is not great for users who print labels all day long and have to futz with the labels until the printer believes it has it's own labels.
We are looking at label makers from the japanese watch maker and striped horseys.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Don't touch this with barge pole.

We've had Dymo printers for years and been able to use non genuine labels at a better price. The new 550 printer only takes Dymo labels and these are 3.5 times the cost. We cannot return the item and it's uneconomic to use it. We're buying second hand 400's because it's cheaper to leave these 550's on the shelf or throw them away.

So easy to use
on May 18, 2022
Posted by: Jhcb2010
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This label maker is one of the easiest ones to use. The software walks you through what you need to do. It’s so easy that my kids can use it. The labels come out crisp and clear. They are cut to the perfect size specifications. I just wish it would recognize other brands of labels. The Demo branded ones are so expensive.

Works Well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with this label writer overall. I did find the instructions a little bit difficult but I had never used a labeler like this one before. The included program was a little hard to figure out at first, but yet again I'd never worked in. It wasn't too steep of a learning curve but I'm fairly knowledgeable when it comes to working on the computer. It took me a couple of days to really get everything down pat. If you don't have a lot of experience on a computer you might find it more difficult but with a little persistence you should be good. I recommend this labeler.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just had my first chance to use this label maker….. great product. Very very easy to use and set up. Been using it to label Romex in a new build we are doing. Cartridges are easy to load and the print quality is great. Been using it daily. Build quality seems good with a lot of great features. No issues with it so far. I would highly recommend this product looking for a great label maker.

Easy label printing
on April 30, 2022
Posted by: Kayfullie
from Milton, Florida
Gender:Female
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Set up was a breeze; i got it set up in about 10 minutes. I've used label printers before and its important to feed the labels correctly and line up the directions. If you download the drivers first which the instructions say you should have no issues with connecting the device. I wish this dymo had wireless capabilities to connect to my phone though.
