This is a great little printer for fast label. We use mostly USPS labels, so I cant contribute to FedEx, UPS, or other shipper options. The printer generally lasts about 2yrs until the labels start not to print as crisp and wont scan at USPS anymore. We have tried using cleaning cards throughout use, which has virtually no cleaning effect. We are sure there are people that can fix the crispness as we resell them after couple of years and get about 50% of what we paid. We cant complain about that. If you plan to resell it, make sure to print one label so the buyer can see the quality of the used device. We use it a lot though, thousands of labels a year. Often when there are updates from Java, Windows, etc. We have had some driver issues, which we can usually fix in settings. Might need some moderate knowledge of windows to fix it. It gets annoying when this happens. Usually on Mondays when we are most busy. I have not yet found a way to also print invoices on the printer. So you will still need a regular printer for your invoices, also a small hassle as you need to change printer type on each invoice you print or you end up with lots of gibberish on the Turbo. Otherwise its been great. Because of some of the issues listed above we cant give it 5 stars. There is probably ways to fix those issues, but need very good understanding of computers and printer set up. This review is just based on our personal experience.Read full review

. . .I wish that the front throat plate was a bit easier to remove and reattach. I bought a roll of 1"x1" labels that claimed to be Dymo compatible but jam up the machine too often. (Not all label ends are flush against the waxed paper and get caught coming through.) So, I have to take that plate off to get the jam cleared. It is not QUITE plug & play; the machine's driver is onboard but I had to download the label design software from Dymo, easy enough. It installed quickly and I was up & running within a few minutes. I have the Dymo 450 Turbo and it's greasy fast: one label will print in about a second. The use of a bold font on these small labels was required to read what's written on them but they print out crisply. I can definitely see myself buying a multi-roll Dymo at some point so I can also print shipping labels. But for now, the 450 Turbo has been a big help to me as I slog through tagging hundreds of inventory items.Read full review

I work with lots of files, and I have terrible handwriting, so the answer to marking my file folders was purchasing a label printer. I found several Dymo 450’s on eBay and selected this one because it looked clean and complete and the price was right. I discovered the Dymo software is flexible to produce more fonts and sizes that I had anticipated, and I can purchase many different size labels to use with the printer. Why is it not a 5 star? I was hoping for a bluetooth model, and this one must use a USB connection. Otherwise I am very happy with my purchase.

Do you want crisp, professional, even artistic mailing labels? I love this device! I have multiple label sizes and designs - with my personal and business return addresses, and with and without logo/icons graphics. It is wonderful to print directly from my Outlook contacts list - and to be able to select exactly the label design that I want for that particular envelope - and print it in literally seconds. I have hand printed my last envelope - ever!

This is my fourth LabelWriter 450 turbo (first twin-label one), and all are working great. I have one at home that I use occasionally, we have two at our office/shop that we use constantly, and another (the twin-turbo model) in our "new" remote shop that's getting plenty of use, now, as well. Drivers were easy to install (MacOS, in my case, for all installations of mine) and the app is very straightforward - with provisions for lots of label types, sizes, and configurations (address, return-address, barcode, miscellaneous ident labels, etc.). The dual-label version is really only an advantage if you do a lot of label-size swapping, but comes in very handy in that case - saving figuring out where and how to store those partial rolls of different label sizes and types that you swap in and out. If you are a compulsive labeler (or have a real need to print legible, convenient, labels for bins, containers, products, or other items), it's a reasonable buy. Label rolls aren't terribly expensive, but aren't dirt-cheap, either - so be sure to consider what you really need before you stock up with a drawer full. The only real inherent drawback I've encountered is that the labels are thermally printed - so they will fade with time (and heat) and don't stand up to much wear unless you cover them with clear tape - so they aren't the greatest for permanent inventory labeling. Read the instructions and don't panic if you get a label jam (rare, but it can happen).Read full review
