DYMO Office Mate II Embossing Label Maker

I got a dymo embosser from Walmart that does 3/8 tapes I seen a review of this one that also does 3/8 tapes as well as 1/2 I think but a reviewer compared 2 embossers and used 3/8 tape and this one has bigger letters that's why I bought this one there was a quick learning curve but once I mastered it it was easy the embossing tape is thick and sticks well, i originally used it on my pull out husky drawers

It does not lose the quality of the labels over time, as happens with other Dymo references. It is practical for all climates.

For the younger generations that have never used a DYMO style labeler and especially for those that gave this 15400 model one star because it was difficult to use...Yes, this DYMO labeler is old technology - it does not use batteries, it has no computer chips, can't use Alexa to turn it on and no blue tooth to synch with your smart phone.It is manually operated and has an instruction manual you can read to show you how to use it. The 154000 is easy to use just like a circa 1970s DYMO label maker I used to have. Not as well built as the vintage one used in the past, but it still works... it embosses letters by compressing them onto plastic tape to make a label. Yes, you must squeeze the unit hard to make the embossed impression and manually turn the wheel to each new letter to create a label. Then advance the tape and cut the label - manually. Hey it's a manual label maker.Suggest referring to the included instructions when changing out the plastic label tape. This model is a bit finicky to align, but once the tape is loaded in the proper slot it works well and stays in alignment. I rated it 4 stars because of its less than robust construction - while it does a good job that meets my needs, I am not sure how long this unit will last with occasional use.Recommended for labeling/organizing work shop tools and storage. A place for every tool and every tool in its place. Gives the shop drawers, peg board and cabinets a nice retro 70s label feel too.

The old-school style 80s one works 500x better. It busts out the labels and maintains the retro aesthetic. Way better than the other model that breaks after one use. Not quite the same as the OG metal ones, but this gets the job done. Nice clear writing, I don't think it is going to break in my hand while embossing. The current packaging includes an installed roll of black and an extra roll in the packaging.

I loved this thing. Loved it! Everything is labeled with it! Went to reload the tape and now ever. single. label. comes out crooked and slanting. I replaced that tape and it’s still happening. This was not a cheap purchase and I’m not sure I should risk buying another one that will degrade over time.

Barely used and letters were always misaligned. Now I can see why the letters were always misaligned from the picture. The wheel is soft cheap plastic. DYMO is no longer the quality embosser it once was. My original old classic DYMO lasted a little over 50 years. That’s right…over 50 years.To make matters worse, this was also a replacement of another defective DYMO model that I had purchased from Amazon and returned immediately as the letters were also misaligned.Stay away from DYMO and try something else. Two failed models in a row is too much of a coincidence.

It's been a while since I had or needed one, but when it was time to organize the bars for the hurricane shutters, this Dymo was perfect. The tool is easy to use, and the labels are easy to read--sharp and clear-- and durable.

I love this thing. After seeing someone else do something similar, I wanted the same aesthetics for labeling and organizing my kitchen. It’s super easy to use but sometimes the spacing between letters within words is wonky. Also it’s hard to gauge the right spacing between words, but once you figure it out you can kinda get consistent results.This model seems more substantial and durable. So far, so good. I’m about to embark on some heavy labeling so we’ll see how it goes.
