Dymo Junior

Worked right out the packaging (as it should); didn't have any problems or stickiness when I was scrolling around for letters either. Loaded up a nice black tape and just went to town on labeling. Super easy to use, love the quality of it. Only negative thing is that you just have to make sure you are actually pressing/squeezing the handle (don't need to hulk grip it or anything, but just a proper squeeze) - a light squeeze will get you'll get a faded or a nonexistent letter. But otherwise the labels I all made came out really nice! Now all I need to do is fine more things to label...

What I expected

If you grew up with these label embossing makers, then you know what I mean by my subject line. They do exactly what it looks like they do, they create embossed labels you can stick to things. They are made of plastic and they aren’t super durable so you have to be reasonable gentle with them. They take a little bit of getting used to as far as spinning the wheel and making sure you’ve got the letter you want lined up, and you need to make sure you pull the handle/trigger with enough force to emboss the label. It’s all manual, so if you are used to electronic everything this might be a new concept for you. That said, it does the job. I have arthritis and other strength issues and I haven’t had a problem creating labels with it. It came pre-loaded with black tape in it, so I haven’t tried to replace a roll yet. I have a feeling that might get interesting as there are NO instructions included, but I assume I will figure that out. It reminds me of a simpler time and I enjoy using the labels around the house, on cards, on art projects, etc. . . You can buy tapes in other colors, but I’m a traditionalist and like the black tape with the white embossing. I think they are overpriced (what isn’t these days) but I also like that I don’t have to plug it in, put a battery in it or charge it. I just have to pull the handle! Again, I’d treat it with some care, don’t toss it down or try to spin the wheel quickly or in the wrong way, don’t squeeze the handle too tightly, etc. because the plastic it is made of won’t like that. Otherwise it’s a great little labeler and you’ll enjoy it for a long time to come. As other have mentioned, I tend to add a space before and after the label to make it more even. The label that says DYMO came in the machine and wasn’t done that way, the ones I made (HI and THANKS) are done with a space.

Junk, pure and simple. Stopped working after less than one roll of labels went through it. Jammed then wouldn't advance anymore even after the jam cleared. Do not buy.

FINALLY one that works, I've had 4. Have I tried to move on from the classic embossed look and ended up with a drawer full of label makers collecting dust? yes, yes I have. But I keep going back to this.

This labeler is as good as ever . Effective , efficient.

The cutter on mine does not work. I have to pull the strip out and use scissors. Otherwise ok.

Works good, squeeze hard . Practice, Practice, Practice

Takes a bit of squeezing to make sure you got the letter in right but I got my labels and I'm happy

La compre recomendada por una conocida y me acabé de convencer con las reseñas. Me gusta mucho. La única pega que le pondría es que hay que apretar bastante para que quede la letra bien marcada, aunque es mi primera etiquetadora y no se si es algo común en este tipo de aparato

Ce petit appareil est pratique à avoir sous la main dès que l'on souhaite étiquetté un pot une boîte ou autre. Les seuls bémols c'est qu'il faut appuyer assez fort pour que la lettre soit lisible correctement et couper la bande aux ciseaux assez proche de la sortie des lettres sinon on gâche trop de bandelette... sinon ça colle plutôt bien et j'aime bien le rendu.

Analoge Beschriftung für Deko und Gedöns Ich habe ernsthaft gezögert dieses Teil zu bestellen, denn so einige Bewertungen ließen auf unzufriedene Nutzer schließen. Trotzdem wollte ich für den Weihnachtsmarkt ein simples Werkzeug zum beschriften. Ohne Akku, Display oder Ähnliches. Also Augen zu und durch. Ich habe erst einmal mit der Anleitung gestartet, um mir diverse Probleme zu ersparen. Nach einigen Etiketten lief es für mich problemlos. 1. Ich füge vor der eigentlichen Beschriftung 1-2 Leerzeichen ein, damit das Band nicht knickt 2. Ich füge nach der eigentlichen Beschriftung ein Leerzeichen hinzu, denn manchmal schneidet das Gerät zu dicht an der Schrift 3. ich drücke bei der Beschriftung fest zu, damit alle Buchstaben sauber sichtbar werden 4. ich achte auf die angegebene Stellung der beiden „Kreise“ (waren die Kinder unterwegs, dann ist es gerne verdreht und dann schreibt auch nichts!) Beim Trägerfolie abziehen gibt es manchmal ein wenig gefummel, aber das ist bei doppelseitigem Klebeband nicht anders. Insgesamt habe ich vier Rollen Band verbraucht und habe nichts zu meckern. Es läuft alles immer noch problemlos!

This is the 3rd one I bought. They don't work. Quality, materials, construction, and assembly are very, very poor.
