I'm surprised by the negative reviews for the DYMO LabelMANAGER 300 & 200. I own the 200 for the office & am buying the 300 for use at home. PLEASE NOTE: If you like labeling (I've become addicted), there is a HUGE difference between Dymo & Brother - the ease of exposing the "sticky" side of the tape. Dymo tapes all have a split down the middle of the back which makes using them a BREEZE!!!! This is VERY IMPORTANT!! So important I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned. I even gave my Brother Touchpoint away because of this, my secretary & I found it too cumbersome to remove the label backing and I was tempted to throw it away rather than subject someone else to this lack of design.

The font selections are very easy and intuitive with these models, I'm surprised that others found them difficult. Also, a big bonus is the keyboard. They are large & very easy to use. With this purchase I'll own 3 labellers, all by DYMO, believe me, you can't beat their label tape design...

This is a great labelling device! It has an easy to use, large-sized QWERTY keyboard (a standard computer keyboard), a clear, easy-to-read LCD display, and can print labels very quickly. This is an excellent labeller to pick up and have around!

When I first got this item, I fell in love with it. I followed the instructions and made big, beautiful labels. Following the instructions turns out to be crucial, so don't lose them. Many settings are mutually exclusive (this also changes with different sizes of labels) and the unit does nothing to suggest there's a conflict; it simply doesn't do anything, which makes it frustrating to figure out what is wrong.

Things really get bad, though, when you use the small (6mm) labeling tape: the cartridge frequently jams during printing. I'd say I waste more than a meter of tape (per 7 meter cartridge) because of mechanical malfunctioning. You'll also waste more time unraveling jams and reassembling cartridges than it should take to make a label. The 6mm tape also lacks a split in the backing, thus making it difficult to remove the backing from the label.

I can't figure out why they made this unit so bulky: the keyboard is too small for typing, yet it's too big for "thumbing." (Here's a compromise sure to please no one. Also note that it makes keying a two-handed operation: with the only shift key at the lower left, most people won't be able to shift and hit another key with the fingers of one hand.) It's not big because the display is so generous. Maybe it's because they got stuck on the clamshell design, which I find to be a bit of a turkey: you can't operate the unit very well without setting it on a work surface.

In short, this unit will do a good job with the wider (>= 12mm) label sizes. If you need to make labels smaller than that, find something that was designed to make small labels.
