DYMO Label Maker, LabelManager 280 Rechargeable Portable Label Maker, Easy-to-Use, One-Touch Smart Keys, QWERTY Keyboard, PC and Mac Connectivity, for Home & Office Organization

Cool device. Great for the job in hand!!

Takes a little getting used too.

Unfortunately the cartridge supplied with the machine didn’t work so it was fortunate I had purchased additional ones. Also the machine I received had a US plug, so just be aware! Using the machine on its own is ok if you just want basic labels. The screen display does not reflect the actual type size. It’s much easier to link the labelprinter to a computer and print directly to it so you are able to see exactly what you are printing and have much more flexibility, using type, symbols, images etc.

It's enormous, comes with the wrong charger (for UK) and has buttons on the front that someone thought would be a good idea, dark grey on a black background. WTF? Prints come out clear but this is a dinosaur clinging on for dear life. If you can get it sub £30 go for it. Did someone say cash cow? Dymo, shame on you.

Why is there not an English plug supplied with this item . I now have an item I cannot use which cost me a lot of money and would like some action on

I like that it is easy to carry and use, and can print directly from the computer (even from Word and Excel) battery life is good I dislike that Arabic printing can be done from Word and Excel only and need to adjust margins I am using for home and for some hobbies.

Good unit complicated at first can do many label styles.

good

I borrowed a Dymo label maker from my work to label some things around my garage / work bench. I immediately experienced the value of putting my name on my belongings. I was so pleased with the label maker I borrowed that I attempted to purchase it on Amazon. I quickly discovered that the model I had used was discontinued but saw good things about this model. I received this label maker and was surprised at the size and weight but not in a disappointing way. It really felt like quality. I skimmed through the instructions before tossing them to the side, inserting the batteries and typing my first label. It was extremely easy and I was able to pick up where I had left off with the previous label maker. If you are looking for an extremely small or pocket-sized label maker then you might want to look elsewhere. This label manager is really meant more for desktop application but is certainly small enough to carry around and doesn't require a wire once the batteries are in. All of the features are clearly accessible from the main keypad and there are only a few "hotkeys" taking you to sub-menu's but it seems to be well thought out. I haven't used the USB computer tethering to print as I don't have a need for that but it's great to know that it's there when I do. The carrying case is perfect. It holds the label maker, cords, extra spools of tape and has plenty of room for extra's. I would definitely recommend this label maker for anyone that wishes to have all of the possibilities at their fingertips while still having a unit they can carry around or leave on their desk for quick access.
