There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The bad reviews are in my opinion mostly user error. Except of course for the ones where the machine is broken.
Once I select the character I want, I use both hands to squeeze the trigger and hold for a couple of seconds before releasing and the embossing comes out very nicely.
-The labels are definitely on the smaller side, smaller than I thought but they still work great for labeling smaller items. If you’re labeling larger things you might want to spring for the larger model. Or even if you’re just more spendy than me, the larger seemed too expensive for me.
-The labels have really good stickiness. It takes me forever to take the back off but that’s because I have very short nails and very bad coordination.
-It doesn’t feel sturdy. The label maker is very lightweight and feels cheap. If I dropped it on hard flooring I think it might break altogether or maybe that the back cover where the tape loads might pop off for good since it feels delicate. For the price I don’t mind, I don’t expect it to last forever and when it does break I will buy another one.
If you look at my SAMPLE 1 in my pictures you can see that you should definitely put a space AFTER your last character or the label gets cut too short.
If you look at SAMPLE 2 you can see that white shadow on the upper left corner. If you don’t want that marking on your label, put a space BEFORE your first character and AFTER your last character.
If you look at SAMPLE 3, you can see it’s not as clearly embossed as when I use two hands to squeeze the trigger.

Update: I managed to fix my Dymo labeler. It's not because I was pressing too hard. It's because it's badly designed with cheap parts. I'll explain. You have to remove the two screws at the bottom and then remove the entire "head" of the device (the rotating cassette of letters). It'll be tricky, and you'll have to slightly pry the handle apart a little bit, but it can be done. Inside, you'll find the little plastic hammer that pushes up against the letters. Every time you squeeze the trigger, the little plastic hammer pushes up against a letter to stamp your label. Now, each of the letter stamping pieces is not a solid piece. It's hollow with a cross brace inside of it - and it's sharp. The reason why this thing fails after a certain amount of use is because every time the hammer makes contact with a letter stamping piece, it pushes up against the cross brace and the edges of that letter piece, and because that hammer is just malleable plastic, it WILL get dented and deformed (see my "deformed plastic hammer" pic). Then with every squeeze of the trigger, the plastic hammer will deform more and more until it no longer pushes evenly against the letter, and the letter stamping pieces basically just slip off of the hammer pushing up against it. This is why it stops stamping letters properly, and why sometimes the letters are out of alignment.
To fix this, you'll need to fix the plastic hammer. I personally filed down the chipped and dented head and then attached a tiny piece of rubber to it. Make sure that whatever you're attaching to the hammer is thin enough though. The cassette of letters still need to freely rotate above it. But as you can see in my example pic, it's all fixed again.
So, it works again, and the labels are all coming out correctly again, but I'm still giving this thing two stars because it's built very poorly. I would've given it a one-star, but when it works, it's cool, and it's at least easy-ish to fix. But I shouldn't need to crack this thing open and MacGyver a fix for it. The letter pieces should've been solid pieces instead of being hollow and having that sharp bracing support in it that damages the plastic hammer. The plastic hammer should've had a rubber or metal piece on the tip to reinforce it and prevent it from being damaged. Sure, this thing will probably work for you through an entire roll, maybe two, before it fails - and it WILL fail. But unless you're comfortable with fixing this thing when it does break, I'd seriously consider something else.
2022-03-27 Update:
My fix to print letters is still working, but the cutting blade on this label maker has completely dulled, and I still have another roll left. It doesn't cut anymore, and I didn't even go through two rolls! This product is terrible. I'm knocking it down to 1/5 stars. If you want a long-lasting label maker, go look elsewhere and don't cheap out. This thing sucks. Cheap materials destined for the landfill!
