I already have a workgroup laser printer for my heavy printing needs. But manually feeding in Avery label sheets just to print a few address labels is a real multi-step hassle. So I got the Dymo Labelwriter and the only thing I've been asking myself is: why didn't I get this thing sooner?

It uses thermal printing - no messy or expensive ink cartridges
It's fast and quiet
The labels come out looking GREAT - like they came from a professional printers
It installed quickly without any problems at all
The software is easy to use and even includes a nifty label designer, which I've been using to make professional looking labels for my office.

The list goes on and on. I L-O-V-E this printer and will never go without it again.

We use these printers at work, and I'm very satisfied with them, so I got one for at home. We print address labels by the sheet in a laser printer, but this printer is great for smaller quantities, and less danger of getting labels stuck deep inside a laser printer. My wife is an organizer, and this makes it easy to label photos, make neat captions for scrapbooks, tag boxes of clothes going in the attic, etc. Keep in mind this printer only does black-on-white (or whatever color label tape is loaded), but it has excellent graphic resolution. The printer is shareable, so if you have a home network the other computers can use it too. Dymo offers a wide selection of labels and tapes in various sizes and colors. Very good product!

The one and only reason I purchased this label printer was for the highly touted Dymo Stamps feature, supposedly giving you the ability to print your own postage stamps onto thermal postage labels for no monthly fee, only the cost of the printer and the thermal label refills. According to the Dymo Stamps website, Dymo Stamps gives you the ability to "Print Exactly the Amount of Postage you Need" and "Eliminate the Need for Costly Postal Meters." What the consumer is not told upfront is that these "precise" amounts of postage can only be in denominations of the Dymo Stamps software's choosing, not any amount you want. In fact, the only postage denominations that can be printed are those already available in stamp form at the post office, basically just your run-of-the-mill $0.39 stamps, $4.05 Priority Mail stamps, and postcard stamps. This software also does not give you the capability to print postage for Parcel Post, Media Mail, or Express Mail, and doesn't allow you to add additional postage for services like insurance or certified mail at all. How this saves you any trouble over buying stamps from the post office is beyond me. Conveniently, you can only overcome all of these limitations by subscribing to Endicia (Dymo Stamps' backbone provider) for a monthly fee. Heck, you can't even go to an office supply store to buy the thermal postage label refills that you need to print postage on; they can only be ordered online through a link in the Dymo Stamps software. Especially given the fact that even the least expensive Dymo Stamps capable LabelWriter model is over $100, this will NOT save you any money in postage, will NOT save you any time, and ordering stamps online from USPS (or getting them from the local post office) is just as convenient, if not more convenient, than ordering the stupid thermal refills online from Dymo and waiting for them to arrive. Thankfully, Amazon is great at accepting returns.
