Dymo LabelManager 280

 

The Dymo LabelManager 280 is one of the rare label printers that can either operate as a standalone device or print labels from a computer.

QWERTY keyboard. Rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Can print from a computer or as a standalone device. Relatively inexpensive.

Non-backlit screen is hard to read in poor lighting. Maximum label width is a half-inch. Limited selection of labels. Can only store 9 saved labels.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Pretty nice unit

 

Probably just as good as other label machines. Nothing special.

Nice Product, Tape is worthless

 

I like this labeler, it's comfortable to use and isn't difficult to carry with one hand.

Pathetic inept design incapable of reliable operation

 

- The printing mechanism frequently jams, at least 3 out of 5 times the label fails to emerge and gets crumpled up inside and the labeller which has to be opened up and cleared of the jam. - It's not smart enough to know what width tape is in the...

The promise it could print labels

It can't print labels because the mechanism is of a fatally flawed design
