Label maker
This label maker is easy to use. I Like that numbers are separate from letters. Easy to switch fonts, etc with button options at the too of the label maker. Main reason for choosing this label maker was because it is rechargeable. Don’t have to have 6 batteries! Have not had very long but so far I do like it.

Labels jam all the time
After hours of use we started to encounter jamming with the label. The unit would feed label into itself and require cartridge to be removed to clear jam. This would happen every 3-7 cuts. Its a waste of time and labels. Will be replacing with different unit.

Works as advertised
A bit of a learning curve and the accompanying manual is useless but by downloading the operators guide (and printing out a diagram of the features) it can be mastered.

Great little label maker!
When my old Brother P-touch died I looked around for another portable label maker. This Dymo is much better and it has received top ratings. All the cheaper models either don’t come with an AC charger or they drain the batteries quickly. This one is perfect!

Not compatible with Windows 11 or Office 365
My Dymo Label Maker LM160 disappeared so I bought the LabelManager 280--mostly because the 160 was not in stock and might take a month to arrive. I was attracted by the ability to run software on Windows to print labels as I can with my Brother address-label printer. It would not let me do anything until it was charged so I read the manual while waiting. The doc only t...

Better than my Brother
I like the print options. However I wish special characters were a little easier to access and use. Also the buttons are a bit clumsy to press easily and accurately. I like it better than my old Brother labeler.

Excellent
I have used this label maker before at my work office. Now that I'm working remotely I needed another one. I've always been happy with this label maker. Easy to use and great for labeling file folders (and more).

Label maker assists with home office organization.
This is a great tool to neatly label home office files and an ever growing bookcase of binders.

Great! easy to use easy to load
It does its job well. A simple screen nothing complicated. Just type the label hit print it prints in half a second press the cut button and it's done. Super quick does the job needed. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Better and easier than expected
First the email I received for rating this item has links that don't work so I had to come to the website to rate it. But I am pleasantly surprised at how versatile this printer is when using it in conjunction with the software. Creating and printing labels takes a fraction of the time that doing so manually and they're perfect!

Great
love the fact that I can create the labels on my computer. I can type out a whole list at one time and print it out on the label maker. Saves so much time this way and I can also use my favorite fonts.
