Bought the Turbo 450 today, after spending several hours reading the docs and watching videos, producing a single label eludes me. I do not recommend this product
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Tom Nickname, Monika from DYMO Consumer Care. Thank you providing us feedback for our DYMO LabelWriter 450 Turbo. I am very sorry that our product has not met your expectations.
We have two pieces of software available at the moment. With DYMO Label Software, in order to create a label, please navigate to the “Labels” tab on the left and select the label size and template. Then, please proceed to the “insert” tab to add objects on a label by dragging and dropping them on your label. If you are using DYMO Connect Software, please navigate to the green square “new” on the left top side of the software. Then on the right top side, please select the label size and in the center, label orientation and template. Then click on open. In order to add text on the label, double click on it.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to give our technical support team a call at 877-724-8324 Monday-Friday 9am-5pm EST as we will be happy to assist you. Please use the reference number 24173864. You can find these options under the support tab on the DYMO website, www.dymo.com.

Label writer 450 upgrade
on October 27, 2022
Posted by: Dee Dee Deven
from Boston, MA
I've had my basic Dymo 450 label writer for some time Absolutely loved it! Very user friendly and never failed. The software update is horrendous. Took away the basics of making simple labels of any kind. I basically need a class and hard cover manual as I found no simple answers to making simple address labels or modifying a label in general for other purposes. My ratings are based solely on the upgrade.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Printer is good, software sucks

I have 5 of these units at the office and really like the printers, but having to install the software is not good, it is a real pain. Wish they would just post the drivers and NOT THE SOFTWARE!

Supporting software is way lacking
on February 16, 2023
Posted by: dburke8088
from Atlanta, GA
Windows support is really lacking. I have this device connected to a USB share server. Even when the share is mapped and drivers setup. The software still can't find it. What's even sadder is that you can't specify the share name because the search app is searching. Was this developed in some child's high-school project? I haven't seen such bad coding since windows 3.1
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love the Printer & the old software. Hate Connect.
on March 13, 2023
Posted by: ScooterMcManfre
from Arizona
Love the Printer. (Have had multiple of these in multiple businesses.) Love the old software. Hate the new "Connect" software. It's difficult to do the simplest things, not at all intuitive, it's terrible. Like the team that designed it never used it or tested it, just kept throwing stuff in. Use the old software..
I would recommend this to a friend!

Product-good, Software-terrible
on March 22, 2023
Posted by: Webster
from New Hampshire
The label printer is very good. The software is terrible. It is too bad that DYMO isn't investing in their software updates. You would think a company with a good product would make sure that it works well out in the field.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from Dymo.comBy Cynthia, Dymo , March 27, 2023
Hi Webster.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. At DYMO, we have two different types of software that you can use with our printer, that is DYMO Connect and DYMO Label.
We recommend trying the other one and to download it, please go to dymo.com and click on Support>Download Software>Not Sure Which Software To Choose> Compatibility Chart and scroll all the way down to see All Software Versions.
If you are still having issues (If you have more questions or feedback), please reach out to us via our website or through LiveChat. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time.
