Comments on: DYMO LabelWriter 450 Twin Turbo Review http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/09/04/dymo-labelwriter-450-twin-turbo-review/ Gadget reviews and news by Julie Strietelmeier and friends since 1997 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:02:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Andrew http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/09/04/dymo-labelwriter-450-twin-turbo-review/comment-page-1/#comment-127763 Andrew Fri, 02 Dec 2011 16:09:13 +0000 http://the-gadgeteer.com/?p=18350#comment-127763 The new s/w version (ver 8) is badly written with an inconsistent look and feel to it. I know because I updated my dad's computer to Windows 7 and the new Dymo s/w. Now my dad is afraid of using the new s/w because he keeps messing up his labels. I have to go back and fix his screw ups. But... he NEVER had a problem with the older s/w and was able to print labels whenever he wanted to and NO screw ups. Does anyone at Dymo ever do a user interface research? Meanwhile I am looking for a replacement to Dymo because I can't trust a company that doesn't have a clue. Any recommendations anyone???

Does anyone at Dymo ever do a user interface research?

Meanwhile I am looking for a replacement to Dymo because I can’t trust a company that doesn’t have a clue.

Any recommendations anyone???

We run a "green" office and try to minimize the energy use by our herd of electronic gear. Our Twin Turbo LabelWriter has to be tipped over and unplugged after each use. Very poor design!

Had to get my tech support guy to solve a printer compatibility problem after a week of conversation with their tech support. Support is as bad as there is.

If you anticipate requiring any level of technical support from DYMO, you are better off with a different brand.
