[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We upgraded from our old Dymo label to this new Dymo LabelWriter 550 Turbo and so far we have been very happy with it. Not only is it much faster than the old one but network connection makes our lives much easier since multiple users can now have access to the label printer.
Setting up was very easy thanks to the Dymo software and we were able to start printing in no time.
People are complaining that this new Printer will not accept non Dymo labels but that was not an issue for us since we have always been using Dymo labels.
All in all, we are all very pleased with our new Dymo label printer, it is a huge upgrade from our old one and it has been saving us a lot of time and for that, it gets a 5 stars rating from us.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned label makers before and found them bulky with software that was complicated to install. The DYMO Label Writer 550 isn’t that. When I opened the box and read the instructions (READ THE INSTRUCTIONS) the easy download from the DYMO website (you MUST download the software first… and there are many stickers telling you so; making it idiot-proof) makes the setup happen in minutes. I had a clean, easy to read label within 5 min from opening the box to hitting print. The printer itself was labeled so you could follow along in the instruction booklet to load and print easily. Absolutely the best printer I’ve used!
Pros: Easy set up Easy to use Many for and label choices
Cons: It took two tries to get the label in the right load position (likely more my error that the design). Only comes with a few address labels. Wish it had a variety of labels to see the sizes; even if it was just a single label or a pamphlet with the (actual) sizes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been eying the Labelwriter 550 Turbo for a while before deciding to move forward. I wish I didn't wait! This label printer has made my at-home business reselling clothes a snap! It speeds through postage and other shipping labels in a snap. I get to skip the trip to the post office and long lines. Thermal printing is great because I never worry about running out of ink, too!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm still playing around with this "new toy" but overall it seems to be good. I read a few reviews ahead of time and people seem to be most disappointed that you have to use a specific label but knowing that ahead of time helps temper expectations. Easy to set up with software and I am loving labeling little things around the house.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i received this as a product to try and review, easy setup with right product download. Its lightweight and easy to manage. Prints various labels and size and amount but has to be their labels only. which can be expensive the only downfall
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Labelwriter prints smoothly and efficiently. Labels tear off easily, which is a huge advantage because this printer only takes DYMO labels (haven’t found a workaround to that yet). Unfortunately, the software that supports the product isn’t user-friendly. I can only put one label at a time into a file unless I import from elsewhere. The integral program to make these labels is extremely primitive and does not function well on my computer, which is less than six months old. I was looking forward to using this for family address labels but with software issues and only taking DYMO labels I am seriously reconsidering at this point.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] have been using Dymo Labelwriters for at least 20 years. All of my experiences with Dymo products have been wonderful. I am sorry to say that the Dymo Labelwriter 450 Turbo is a terrible product. I do not recommend anyone purchase this product. The Dymo Labelwriter 450 Turbo labels KEEP JAMMING, and as a result, you end up wasting a ton of good labels while clearing the jam.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, this is Faith from DYMO Consumer Care. Thank you for providing your feedback for the DYMO LabelWriter 450 Turbo. We sincerely apologize our products have not met your expectations and for the inconvenience caused. In most cases cleaning the printer helps, please follow these steps: a) Open the lid of the printer b) Grip top part of the front cover and lift it up c) Remove the cover by pulling it towards you d) Pull up the label guide e) Check for any physical jams and remove the label jam using a pair of tweezers or scissors. After Clearing the label jam I would recommend cleaning the print head and the roller using a business card that is coated with an alcohol-solution such as isopropyl, acetone or hand sanitizer. Take the card and feed it through the print roller 5-10 times making sure to cover all parts of the printer 3. Please allow 5 minutes for the printer to dry before printing a label. If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to give our technical support team a call at 877-724-8324 Monday-Friday 9am-5pm EST and we will be happy to assist you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My handwriting is terrible so I love making my own labels. I have used the LabelWriter 550 Turbo on bubble mailers and thank you cards. It prints crisply. The only drawback, I would say, is that the unit only uses their brand of refills.
