[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is easy to use! The app uses down load is easy to navigate through as well we use it for product labels, address labels, and labels for organizing different items. This item has been a game changer for our family especially for the ones who don’t have great hand writing lol
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this from influenster I'm exchange for my honest review. To be honest it wasn't quite what I thought it was at first, but I only had one label size to test with so I'm sure the option could extend much further if you explored different labels. That being said, even with one label size to play with, this is quite capable. Was a little tricky to set up and would also recommend a desktop for easiest use. I started on a surface pro and found the desktop was just much more fluid of an experience. So, I pretty much labeled everything in my house with this! Haha! I also sell samples of high end colognes and perfumes as a side gig, and this was easily the quickest method to making a good sized label with a ton of ways to customize size, font, borders, etc. I could literally make 10 different labels in a matter of a minute or so. Also used it to make my own "thank you for your order" stickers and FRAGILE as well. The more I thought about it, the more endless the possibilities seemed. I only wish I could print my USPS shipping labels on this and this thing would be a 10/10. Watching a few YouTube videos also gave me some tips and ideas I would have probably never thought about as well. All in all this thing is alot of fun once you really get to playing with it. I keep finding more and more ways to use it and can't wait to explore more label sizes and see what else I can do!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Influenster sent me this for free for my honest review. This label maker is so easy to use and to set up. I love how fast it was to print things. I can’t wait to be able to use it more frequently when I start up an online shop!
I have had my DYMO 550 Labelwriter Tubo for a little over a year, and I find the DYMO 550 to be the worst of the DYMO Labelwriters I have owned: The DYMO 400 and 450 are the best. You could save your labels and not have to rewrite a new label every time. Are there any updates to make things better?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a Dymo user for many years, owning both the 450 XL and 450 Labelwriter. The new Labelwriter 550 has some notable improvements, but also a few drawbacks. The majority of my qualms are with the new software, which is buggy and crashes often. THE GOOD: 1) A power button! Always thought it was weird the other versions didn’t have one. 2) Faster and smoother printing. 3) Software has a feature to “fix” addresses and add an Intelligent Mail Barcode (works with some caveats). 4) Software automatically senses the label size and number of labels left on roll (cool feature with some caveats). THE BAD: 1) It only works with authentic DYMO labels (a frustrating money play which they claim is necessary for the label sensing feature…but couldn’t the sensing feature be optional??) 2) Software crashes when using Address Fixer. 3) Address Fixer will not validate some addresses even if correct. 4) Software deletes first and last name when fixing address of contacts with APO/AE/ PSC address. 5) There are more software issues, too many to list here. If they can get the kinks worked out with the software, the user experience of the 550 will be greatly improved.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good quality prints, fest printing.im mainly using it for address labels but im sure it’s grate for price tags and other small printing jobs. Recommending.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a useful, low profile, no ink label printer that's perfect for an independent business owner. Unfortunately I did not like that I am required to use the brand name labels for refills in order for it to work.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use labels like these that I usually print from my office printer for my business to add my contact info to catalogs. Since I didn’t want to use my personal business info for this review I decided to use it to make labels for our Heart Month/Valentine’s Day treats. Our son was born with a rare congenital heart defect and for February we like to bring awareness and education to the heart community as a whole. We made these cute little labels to add to Valentine’s Day treat bags. These were the perfect little touch to finish off our gifts and bring awareness to something that means so much to our family. I will be using this for my business and love that I can print off just a couple at a time instead of having to do an entire sheet like I normally have to do from my main printer.
