So easy to look great!

I love this little label printer. In fact I'm surprised it was as easy as it was to install and start printing. Very simple to understand and use. I bought yellow labels by accident but actually like how they stand out on our packages! We've only had the printer for about a month but we're extremely pleased with it!

Quite a Product

Ive made it a point to write this before reading other reviews. I love this product, mainly, because it does what it is supposed to do and without breakdowns or difficulty in operating it. Printing quality is excellent. Ordering additional postage or address labels is extremely simple. Almost look forward to using the device! (no I am not affiliated with the company). One thing they could do to tweak its performance is increase the roller tension just a little because on occasion, if I'm not reasonably careful, when I go to tear off a label that has printed, I will pull out additional unused labels. I was just looking at this web site and saw you can do additional things such as verify addresses/zip codes. Terrific. Now I have to locate the manual.

What a clunker

Have owned multiple Dymo printers over the years. This is the latest, but every time I go to print, it is "offline". Replaced the USB cable, but that doesn't help. Unplug power cord and plug it back in - immediately started spewing labels, some blank, some not, and since I was messing with the power cord (on the bottom) I was holding the printer, so the labels fed back into the feeder, wrapping up like a loose shirt in the power take off of a tractor. Once that got unclogged and tried to reload the labels, it decided to just start feeding blank labels for a while. Managed to catch them and pull them back in, only to release the release lever and have it do it all again. So went looking for answers on Dymo - oh, new software? Great, let's try that. Hmm, how convenient, it doesn't know how to read the old address book, so you have to manually export to NON-Dymo format to reimport into the new software. Which apparently does just about everything under the sun...except just print a label. I did see an option to print the entire imported file, but really no indication if it would print any of them correctly - just a bunch of fields in a CSV file. So back to the old software, which it seems is the best option. Sadly, this is an entire exercise in resurrecting the perpetually offline printer every time I need to print a label. This is about the farthest from convenient or even useful I've ever seen. I know the state of software engineering is in shambles and the bar for "release version" is basically if it doesn't cause any fatalities it's good to go. Thanks for your contributions to the the pile of useless software we have to choose from when we feel like wasting a few hours of precious life when we want to mail a letter.

Good printer. Horrible software

I've used DYMO Label Software for years. Then, I made the mistake of cutting over to the new Connect Software. Yes - a BIG mistake. Where the heck did all my labels go?! Over a 100 labels, and this software doesn't even have the decency to import from the old package!!! The old stuff was intuitive and easy to use. This new stuff is so bad that I have no choice but to scrape it off the bottom of my shoe and go back to the old software. The printer itself is great, but the software kills it. It may be time to go with a different brand of label maker. DYMO should be ashamed of this crap.

Hit and Miss

Our Company purchased two of the DYMO LabelWriter 450 Twin Turbos. We had to have our IT department authorize and install the software and after they installed it, I had issues with the user interface, it was not very user-friendly when adjusting or resizing text to fit within the label. I installed the software on an old personal computer and the software worked great! I also installed it on a Macbook and the interface is slightly different but, they both work flawlessly. I enjoy using the LabelWriter, only wish it had Wifi or Bluetooth connectivity so I could use it across the room but, I ended up purchasing a 20-foot cable and now, I can print labels from across the room. Would I recommend the product? Yes, but not for a large corporation setting due to Administrative limitations.

Software was great now it's garbage. I use Mac and use to print 1" stickers for a product I sell and could print almost 40 a minute, now, it always prints the last previous sticker 1 time, has a blank line across the stickers and prints 1 sticker every 20 seconds (if I hit print for 40 stickers it's 20 seconds between each, use to spit them out like a machine gun) Dymo needs to scrap the new software and make the old one work again.

Buggy and Slow Support

Like the reviewer below, I also have problems with the printer 'sleeping' and never waking up... that is, until I turn the unit over, unplug BOTH the power AND the USB, wait for 60 seconds, then plug everything back in. Only then with the blue PRINT button appear in the application. On top of that, there are still no drivers available for Big Sur (macOS 11.x), and it's been out of beta for 6 months.

Buggy Software!

Have had several problems like the address correction suddenly stopped working a while back. Then it started to print three to six blank labels when I printed a single label. Now I just heard the printer turn on by itself (I was in another room) and by the time I got to the printer to check on it it had printed the entire roll of labels with thin horizontal and vertical lines. What has happened to this once fine company?

DO NOT USE THE CONNECT SOFTWARE--IT SUCKS

Since 2000, I have owned and used LABELWRITER 450 TWIN TURBO DYMOs. I have one at work and two at home in 2 different locations. Because I have ADHD, these are a tremendous support. I use them as my memory and, believe me, I label everything, as well as using them for the usual boring tasks like postal labels and return address labels. I keep all my passwords in a separate file, as well as credit card info, etc. All of those storage boxes in the basement are labeled on 3 sides with a shipping label. You can't believe how much time it saves me to see what is in boxes stored in the garage and basement, as well as my many sewing and hobby supplies. Having said that, I have to agree with JJones review that the new CONNECT software truly SUCKS and wastes time. It is not as flexible as the simple, original "Label Software" that I strongly prefer. Call Label Software legacy or call it whatever you want, but delete the CONNECT software if you downloaded it. PRO-TIP: If you need or want to be a power user (i.e., you hardly have time to go to the bathroom at work), then buy extra spindles and load them with any label you expect to use. At home and at work, I keep extra spindles at the ready in my desk drawer for 30352 White address labels; Shipping Labels; 30347 small labels that I use for personal return address labels; 2-up file folder labels, and name badge labels to name a few. No, I don't work for DYMO. DYMO has to work for me. CONNECT software is DYMO's equivalent of NEW COKE. (PS, my ratings are based on the old Label Software.)

New operating software is useless!

I have been using the Dymo LabelWriter 450 Twin Turbo for years with very little issue. Then a new computer for me and the installation of Dymo Connect. Who did you write this for? Someone slowly organizing their home? I run a small business. I had hundreds of addresses saved in my address books that don't work in this new system. Dymo Connect has yet to even see both of my spools on the Twin Turbo. It takes me so long to do labels that I'm thinking of going back to printer them on my laser printer. Please fix this. I miss the old system and my address books.
