Inexpensive and great for most home/small office uses

I have used this label maker for all kinds of projects around the house and our homeschool classroom, and I really love it, for the following reasons:

1. The label maker itself is inexpensive.
2. It is simple & intuitive to use.
3. The replacement cartridges are much less expensive than other brands' refills, and very easy to replace.
4. The labels are pre-split for easy peeling (which is no small thing when you consider how long it can take to peel a label made with many competing products).
5. The labels can be immediately repositioned if necessary, without losing their 'stick'.
6. There is not a lot of wasted label stock from excessive margins, like with other labelers.

There are label makers out there with lots of fancy features and font styles, etc., but this suits my needs more-than-adequately, and at an excellent price. I love it for general indoor-only household/office use, such as labeling file folders, drawers and shelves, containers, spices, books, boxes, etc.

A note: These labels will not stand up to direct sunlight/high-heat applications because they are printed on thermally-sensitive paper. In my opinion they aren't a good choice for outdoors, very sunny areas indoors, or the garage in a hot climate, unless your label is intended to be very temporary.

Interestingly, I have seen fabric iron-on labels available for this label maker, allowing you to label clothing, etc. I haven't tried this feature myself, but I thought it was interesting to mention. My kids hate scratchy flap-type labels in their clothes, especially at the neck, but without them I lose track of valuable size/care information. This would also be great for labeling coats/hats/gloves, etc., which get left behind at parties, parks, etc.

This is not product-specific information, but a thought on labeling in general: I never appreciated how much labeling could improve the flow and function of our lives until I got started. One example: I decided to label the pantry shelves to encourage the kids to put things back in a place that makes sense, knowing this would save everyone time when looking for something. I didn't realize it would completely change grocery shopping, too. Now I can go into the pantry, look at the empty spots on the shelves, and 'voila!', my shopping list is nearly done and more comprehensively than before. Less time to create the list and fewer forgotten items. Besides, it stays much neater-looking in there! I am not an obsessively organized person, but I do appreciate a little order in my life. Labeling is an easy way to achieve a little of that, and it's actually kind of fun. $20-ish bucks for a little more time and a little less chaos isn't bad.

customer service is lacking

The first unit I purchased was a complete dud. The unit had problems straight out of the package.

Customer service was no better. While they were friendly in their emails, they appeared to be clueless about the product and how to make it workable.

Thankfully the store I purchased it from allowed me to trade it for a different unit. I have had no problems with the replacement unit at the time of this writing.

If you like to gamble with your money, go ahead and get it. If you don't like dealing with less than satisfactory customer service, look to other brands.

Good printing, Very poor label material!

I bought this as an occasional-use product, not wanting to spend 50 bucks for a labeler. It works pretty well -- but the included labels won't stick to ANYTHING! I've tried them on wood, paper, metal, and plastic and they fall off within hours. I plan to get a replacement label refill and try that. Maybe the glue was old. Otherwise it's OK for household use.

just a note

I've got this label maker to. It works fine. Couldn't find anything as cheap with so many features.

PROS.
Cost less than most.
Works.
Many features.
Worth it.
Pretty easy to learn from the instructions...I got it the first try.
CONS.
Well, the letters print out pretty close together as if to save
space--I put a space between each letter--no sweat.
I noticed the S and 5 are almost identical just like you see them
on this page. Thats not a bad mark but when the two letters
are close together a quick glance might not be enough to
distinguish between them.

Easy to use

I thought the lack of the querty keyboard would slow me down. It didn't. This is an excellent labeler for only $20. I figured out how to make labels with different fonts, boxes, 2 lines, etc., in about 5 minutes, without reading the manual. The only small wish I might ask for is higher resolution print like the Brother labeler does. My wife uses that one. However, the labels with the split in the backing really makes this labeler superior for me. The Brother doesn't have the split backing and I've spent two or three minutes per label trying to peel the back off the Brother's labels. My son likes Dymo's alligator box outline. I like the BIG fonts option. I'm off to label some stuff that probably doesn't need a label, but I have new toy.
