Make sure you include at least one label tape casette with your order! I wrongly assumed that it would come with one and now have to pay for shipping again to get the tape. Also, be sure you have 6 batteries.

WOW We are impressed. I bought this before Christmas to help my daughter (9 years old) improve her organizational skills and now the entire family uses it. My husband and I each take it to work and the kids use it for numerous school-related things. My husband's employer and mine have each made purchases of this item since seeing how wonderful it is and easy to use. We may have to buy three more so we can all have our own. Tremendous improvement over the old DYMOs!

I have had the electronic Dymo Letratag Label Maker for several months but I find myself still reaching for my old manual type Dymo label makers.

While the Letratag does have a lot of features and offers a much broader character and symbol set, in a variety of different fonts and styles, I find this to be overkill when I just want to make a quick label.

Furthermore, the cost of the Letratag labels is exorbitant compared to the old type Dymo plastic labels. I can buy 3-4 rolls of the old type Dymo plastic labels, with a lot more footage, for the same price as one roll of Letratag. I also find that printing only in black is a limitation. There are times when the white lettering (as found in the old type labels) is more suitable in certain lighting conditions. Currently, the Letratag label is limited to a ½" width, whereas, the older type Dymo plastic labels come in 3/8" and ¼" widths. The ¼ inch is especially handy when labeling small part draws or the side of a plastic CD case. I have noticed that the "Metallic" silver Letratag tape develops a slight but permanent curl on the cut edges after is applied (a small annoyance - considering the old type plastic labels tend to curl and pull away where the temperature fluctuates greatly - like my garage). Finally, the cost of the batteries is of concern and there is no jack to provide AC power to the Letratag.

Where the Letratag excels is when you need a lot of the same labels - you can spit them out one after another.

Summary: The Letratag cannot replace my other older (manual) Dymo label makers; rather it used along side them for those infrequent occasions when my manual label makers can't provide a desired symbol or style, or when I need to make multiple copies of the same label.

I bought this label maker on advice of the above customer reviews. I have not been disappointed. The Letratag is easy and fun to use. I've used it to identify frozen leftovers, organize photo albums, and organize my filing cabinets. One of my concerns was the availability of the labels. I have not found it to be a problem, Amazon carries many different ones, as does Target. For the price of the labelmaker and the labels I don't think one can find a better deal out there.

I use my machine to label shelves, leftovers, boxes and anything I lend/leave out that I want returned. I've only used the plastic labels and they stick wonderfully. If you buy one, be sure to order some plain plastic labels - my unit came with one roll of happy face background tape, which is very distracting for everyday use. I only wish there were an easier way to select the special characters - I have to keep the instructions handy to locate the special codes to print symbols.

Four and a half stars, really. The Dymo LetraTag is fun and easy to use! It does a few different fonts, vertical strips, two-line labels, and symbols. You'll actually want to go through and organize your filing cabinet. The only thing I don't like is the cheapo paper label tape -- OK for sticking to paper items (like file folders) but it doesn't work well on plastic (like VHS cassettes.) Splurge and get the more expensive plastic tape if you want a little more versatility.

if you're looking for millions of possible text configurations, this is not the product for you. it is an easy, affordable, and fully functional label maker. my wife and i use it for everything and are very pleased with its reliable performance.

We wanted something to leave in the kitchen to mark all those left-overs, the other canisters that seem to find a way in the cupboards (and you have to look inside to see what it contained!), etc. This has been perfect, and we find uses all the time. It was great for use in the garden and while rewiring the house.

This is one of the best prodcts they made. If you want to get it at wal-mart 0r other places you pay 29.00 and maby 50.00 but amazon you pay 23.95 has just th right price. and the kids love it for school for there folders so just get this prodouct. It the best

I am a music teacher who has thousands of resources. Some of these resources are lent to students and colleagues. The Dymo LetraTag is a great way of labeling my stuff to make sure that it gets returned to me!! The labels that this machine uses adhere better than the labels from my Casio labeler or my wife's Brother labeler. The batteries last much longer with this machine as well. An investment that is well worth the price.
