Thank you, Laura! I'm a professional organizer and I very much enjoyed your review. I'll share my experience as well. I have 2 Dymo label makers, for 2 different labels (black print on white and white print on clear). At first I had just 1 Dymo and I switched out the tape, but I found that the label maker easily got jammed and broke with regular tape swapping, so I finally relented and just committed to 2 different Dymos for my 2 different tapes. I also have a brother labeler with black on clear tape. The brother labeler drives me nuts! It's just not user friendly mainly because I can never remember how to navigate the symbols and such (the Dymo is very user friendly!). I'm done whith the brother and I'm going to buy another Dymo for my black on clear tape. Next, I just ordered a NIIMBO labeler specifically for tech cord labeling (they have a specific sticker that is shaped to go around a cord). I haven't used it on the job yet, but I'm excited to get the opportunity. Lastly, I also just ordered the Cricut Joy! I haven't even completely unpacked it yet! But this I bought for fancy labels, such as a kitchen project where my client wants a "high-end" fancy look on their containers. I'll be playing with this in my kitchen and garage, and then headed to my client's house that just finished remodeling her laundry room (which could be on the cover of a magazine) and we're going to label all of her lovely clear plastic organizers with a gold, fancy font. Anyway, I'll be watching your Cricut video next. I love labeling!! Thank you, again ~ Christi (Bright Space Organizing)
I highly recommend the Brady BMP-21 Plus. The thing is industrial looking but it is an absolute treasure. Independent, doesn’t need apps or Bluetooth. I’ve made thousands of labels on it and it just never quits. It’s very sturdy and weather hardy. I’ve helped friends do home clean outs and this thing really is great on the fly . You don’t need to baby it. Uses tape cassettes, available in assorted colors and material. I did a yarnventory of my yarn stash and it made the whole project a breeze. Big fan! 😁
I have the regular navy blue Dymo LabelMaker I wish I would’ve waited and bought this colorful one but I still love my LabelMaker. It gets the job done and makes me excited to organize! I definitely recommend a LabelMaker for anyone and thanks for the cricket joy idea! I’m excited to look into it
I had seen an organizer use the Brother Cube, so I added it to my cart to purchase at some point. I am glad you reviewed it, so I didn't waste my money!!! 👍😁 I have a vintage label maker (from when I was in high school with the tape) & and an older model Dymo.
Oh my gosh!!! I own the Cricut Joy-I haven't unpacked it. LOL I thought I should finish organizing, which I am now kind of waiting for some more guidance the week of Sept 13. I was afraid I'd fall in love with using it and get distracted making labels rather than finalizing organization. I'll watch your video about using it specifically AND I might just "Need" to own the Dymo, too. Thanks for sharing-this was great to watch and learn. :-)
Thank you for this. I found it really useful. I have a Brother Touch & find it great. In the 70’s I had one of those Dymo ones. I used to label pictures with it. I have a really hard time understanding fancy fonts, so I just stick with Arial.
Thank you Laura! I love your videos, always very helpful. I think I am going with the Dymo. The versatility of the Cricut Joy just may get me in trouble with all its versatility. :)
I make my labels with Phomemo, Printmaker by WRMK and also the Cricut Joy. I love labeling my stuff and now that my son is starting school, I’ll be labeling all of his 😅
Hello Laura,. I have a dymo letraTag, like you said dymo's are affordable and variety of tapes available in stores and online. I recently bought the iron on labels for kids school uniform.
Really appreciate this review. I’m going to get the Dymo. Cricket joy is too much for me right now. Just a basic needs. I had a P touch years ago and it broke. Couldn’t figure it out. Thanks again!
Good video. I personally don’t know many or anyone who uses the Cube label printer. Cube Plus would have been a better choice. Never heard of any issues with it and I use mine all the time.
Thank you! I have the Brother P-Touch label maker and am pleased with it. I haven’t used it a whole lot. Been thinking about the cricut Joy, thank you for the reviews. I would love to see what you think of the brother p-touch if you ever get a chance to review it!
Really helpful video. Thank you. What would you recommend, I’m looking for one to label things around the house in French to help me learn the language, with the English word underneath? Can the Dymo do two lines plus special characters like ê or é for example? Thank you again.
I have a question…I have a dymo too, but unfortunately it no longer will feed the tape through and print! Do you know how to fix this issue by chance? I tried googling but didn’t find much. 😩 Hoping I don’t have to buy a new one, but I’m starting to miss having it. 😬
I’ve been wanting to get a label printer for my small business for the longest time and finally pulled the trigger. I’m glad I did ! This machine is great ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxw55tQTywUAAOsbrlwxONZULry77sFF1Q and the blue/green color matches the rest of the accents in my office. My favorite part is how small the footprint is. It’s less than 1/4 the size of my regular printer.Set up was fairly easy. Seller will email you a link with video instructions Which I found to be more helpful than the written instructions. I use a Mac and had no issues. They even included an adaptor for USB to USB-c which is great because I’m always losing mine! I had a few issues getting the labels to print properly and wasted quite a few sheets. You need to play around with the settings to get everything adjusted just right. If you have the wrong settings, it’ll crop off the edges or feed through blank labels. These aren’t issues with the machine though, just user error.

Thank you - I have an old Brother P-touch but will get the Cricut Joy when it quits working.
Thanks, good info. Wish you would have reviewed the Brother P-Touch.
me too. tho I do have it and love it, so maybe I wouldn't have been swayed to change. Unless it was to the cricut joy
I have this label maker also
I will check it out

Thanks for the reviews- appreciate your straight forward ness and honesty!
This review came just in time! I was planning to get one soon, and was really considering the Dymo. Thanks for showing how it works!!
Glad I could help!

Yes, you definitely might "need" the Dymo! I love both the Dymo & my Cricut Joy!!
Looking forward to your Cricut Joy video. I'm considering getting one as well.
Thank you for this. I found it really useful.

Sounds great!
This was great information for labelers. Thanks!

Maybe I should try the Cube Plus.
Great review

Hi sweetheart was looking for a label maker that is simple to label my nail stuff so love it 😍 thanks 😊 just subscribed 🤗
Thanks for subbing!
Very nice review!
Really helpful video. Thank you.
What would you recommend, I’m looking for one to label things around the house in French to help me learn the language, with the English word underneath?
Can the Dymo do two lines plus special characters like ê or é for example? Thank you again.
Your cricut link is not working. Just an FYI so you get credit. Thanks for the great reviews of all the options!
For the NiiMbot label maker, can you buy labels/tape anywhere or does it require special labels/tape only available on Amazon?
Thank you
Can you change the font on any of these?
I have a question…I have a dymo too, but unfortunately it no longer will feed the tape through and print! Do you know how to fix this issue by chance? I tried googling but didn’t find much. 😩 Hoping I don’t have to buy a new one, but I’m starting to miss having it. 😬
Same here. I bought a new one cause I had a bunch of tape. But my 1st one went in the trash. I thought it was a fluke, but this happens alot.
Hmm, I haven't had that happen. I would try reaching out to Dymo customer service to see if they have any solutions.
I'm new to your videos. Can you tell me where you got the white boxes with the lids?
They are Kuggis Bins from Ikea. I think you can also find some on Amazon.
nothing mentioned on left justifing and lable waste :/
Where did you get the clear tape with black lettering on the Colorpop dymo and how much was it?
do you have the model number for the purple/teal dymo label maker? the link goes to a rounded silver version
This is the name on Amazon: DYMO COLORPOP Color Label Maker, Handheld, Purple
It is right here: amzn.to/2WNUzvj
nice video
Have you ever bought the non Dymo brand of cartridges off Amazon? Just wondering if they work as well.
Yes, they work. A couple had a thin white band in the middle of the words for the first several feet but that doesn't really bother me.
The Amazon link to the Dymo label maker is not anywhere like you showed, and, it has some bad reviews.
Here's the proper link: amzn.to/2WNUzvj
$100 bucks??? No thanks.
