A more rugged, commercial alternative to the Dymo Label Manager 160(Dyno RhinoPro Series): amzn.to/1P5d6FH
Today we’re looking at the Dymo LabelManager 160 Label maker. This is Dymo’s entry level Label Maker in the consumer market.
The Dymo LabelManager 160 is about 8 inches and fits comfortably in the hands. It is a bit on the chunkier side but is still very much something you can carry around and use. The LCD display on top of the unit is pretty clear and very readable. A backlight would have been a helpful addition, but at this price point, its hard to complain. The power and print buttons are colored light blue and have some formatting buttons for Bold, Italics, Underlined and vertical printing in between them. Right under those are the menu button, the navigation keys and the back button. The buttons on the keyboard of the Dymo LabelManager 160 are very clearly laid out and have a nice soft-touch feel to them. The most impressive thing about the layout is how intuitive this LabelManager 160 feels- there’s almost no need for an instruction manual. On the right hand edge you have the cut button which cuts labels to size, once they are done printing.
The Dymo LabelManager 160 is powered by 6AAA batteries instead of AA’s for some strange reason. This is a little annoying, considering most people don’t have AAA’s lying around. But it isn’t such a serious issue since you won’t be changing batteries all that often. Its pretty efficient on battery power and even turns itself off after a few seconds, if left unused, to conserve batteries. Alternatively, you can also power the Dymo LabelManager 160 using an optional AC power supply. We don’t really recommend this, as it takes away from the portability of the Dymo LabelManager 160 Label Maker. Nevertheless, its still an option.
The D1 label casette loads into the back of the Dymo LabelManager 160 and is available in ¼”, ⅜” and ½” sizes or 6, 9 and 12mm sizes for the metric folks. The starter cassette is 10ft long but regular label cassettes are 23 feet long. The D1 label tapes are also available in a variety of font color, background color and material selections. I’ll leave links to some of the different types of labels in the description below. Dymo also designed this clever little window into the back of the LabelManager 160 that shows you what type of label cassette is currently loaded in the machine- a neat little touch.
The print quality on the Dymo LabelManager 160 is also very crisp and clear, as you can see here, and the device printed without jamming or misprinting, throughout our tests. The D1 labels also adhered surprisingly well on most surfaces and even worked well when used to label wires and cables.
So our overall thoughts about the Dymo LabelManager 160 handheld label maker. The LabelManager 160 Label Maker is an exceptional product- its very well designed, is extremely easy to use, prints well, is priced right and just works as advertised. Absolutely, a great organizing tool to have around the house. However, if you’re looking for a more commercial, rugged labeler, we’d recommend the RhinoPro Series of Labelers from Dymo. Those are better suited to more commercial applications. I’ll put links to all these devices in the description below. Hope you found this review useful.

Very clear and concise verbal delivery. No superfluous "fluff." Covered all machine functions. Thank you.
Thanks!
Wow, this is the entry-level model? Back in the day, this would be the high-end model.
+CeeStyleDj Very true
@@Reviewlamp how long does the battery last for.
I just bought one and I am amazed og how well it works because I got it for only 20$. Great!
*It’s perfect for the amount of labels I print. New **Bestt.Digital** Label Printer, Only had it for a day so far. Works great and was a super easy setup! Would recommend buying.*
All the information you want to know and much more, condensed in a 3 minute video. Perfect review!
thats how every review shud be done! Good job m8
Thanks!
best review i have seen in a long time. very descriptive and clear speaking. thank you
+Greg Archbold Thank you! Please subscribe for more reviews
I like mine, but clearing the screen after a print is a pain if it's very long worded. Should be a delete screen button.
Everything I wanted to know was presented in this video! Thank you
+wendy1037 Glad it was useful. Please subscribe.
What about how many lines it can print..And that's a basic one.
I looked at other label makers for a comparison to this one. I will probably buy this one simply for the ease of use. This demonstration was very well done. Best demo I found so far. V good job.
+Todd White Thanks for your comment and for the compliment. Please subscribe.
+ReviewLamp.com What I'm trying to compare is the Dymo 280. That's how I found out how good your demo was. These other demo's are pitiful compared to yours. Do you make a Dymo 280 demo?
I could certainly consider that. Stay tuned
ReviewLamp does it print with box round it?
I never knew that dymo did a version of the old style label maker that uses metal tape
Precise, clear and well presented, thank you.
Thanks
Would have really enjoyed a video on how to install the tape! Im having some issues here! But this video was helpful thanks!
+Felice Kimbrew Thanks for the comment
Thank you, this was as near to perfect as a review can get!
+ILoveMyOrchids Thank you! Very sweet of you to say
I just bought one and love it💕💕💕
Good tutorial - watched this after receiving my 160 this afternoon (great price on amazon)... just one point, the inscriptions inside the battery compartment of my unit are actually back to front. In other words the batteries have to be installed the opposite way round! Apart from that a great tool for labelling my spice jars... just trying to figure out how you got the border around the text? (Oh, cancel the last... wife has worked it out!.... you press the button marked with a square with a 'U' inside it (repeated presses gives various border options)
I just bought one and I put the cartridge in and it keeps telling me paper jam,, but I haven't used it and its new
+barbara torres Take the cartridge out. Use a pen or your finger to unspool the reel a bit, using the round knob on the side. Re-insert the cartridge and use the cutter to trim off the unspooled length. It should work now.
Best review ever!!! Thx
nice review, keeps us engaged with specifics. i ended up buying it
Thanks
Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
You’re welcome
The only reason I'm currently searching for videos on the Dymo label makers is to hear if there are any sounds when it's printing out and you did not cover that in this video. That's the only thing keeping me from purchasing this device.
Thanks for the review!
You’re welcome
New user. Still not happy. Although I agree with you that it is close to intuitive for use, there are a great many things that I cannot yet do. Such as clear the last letters of the label I made to make a new one. And then it isn't intuitive to me as to how to get to all of the different menu items.
Very useful review video!
+xochitl quiroz thanks!
Great review my friend! Thank you
Thanks!
Once you purchased the label maker, label cassette included or excluded. Thanks for the demonstration.
There is one test cartridge that comes with the machine
I seen it in the video, but just to make sure, can it print labels with 2 lines?
I am getting that because it's going to be my birthday 🎉
Very well done! Thank you so much!
+Janice Morabeto You’re welcome. Glad it helped
great review!
Thanks!
Anyone know how well the tape keeps stuck on the item your sticking it on ? Hard plastic ? Cardboard ?
I can't figure out how to clear the display and start a new label. All I can do is backspace. That's annoying.
There is unfortunately no clear option. You just have to keep hitting backspace
Awesome! Thanks very much! I watched your review of the CAD U37 mic and bought it, it works well but for audio should the bottoms be pushed to the right or the left?
Each of those buttons have a very specific function, as I explained in the video. It depends on your recording situation.
Very nice review.
Thanks
I'm sorry, I meant should the buttons be pushed to the left or the right
Thnx for awesome video. The cassette which comes with the printer is self adhesive???
+Sky Lark Yes it is
Can you print multiple lines (with small font size) on the same label with this?
You would have to print them separately or cut and move them physically to the next line.
Yes. See the manual.

Thanks!!
You’re welcome
Great printer, I dropped mine so gotta guess what screen says tho
My Dymo 160 does not print... is it possible that if the batteries are nearly finished the Dymo is not printing ??? The label comes out but there are no letters on itOr do I need an ink tape
I bought the dymo 160 I asked the fella at the store if the three quarter inch label would fit in this particular label maker and he said yes he said as long as it's Martin D1 and it was but it does not fit in the label printer am I doing something wrong or was he wrong about it
The largest size tape the machine will accept is 1/2”. You could get tapes like these: amzn.to/3h3cN28
So the label cartridges determine the "ink" color? The label maker doesn't print strictly black? I'd like to print white lettering onto black labels. Didn't know if I needed a specific label maker for that...
You just need a specific label cartridge. You’ll see links to ones below the video
i do not seem to be able to move forward to print a new label ?
how to you get less spacing between words I feel like it wastes a lot of ink
my D1 cassette outputs a black sheet as well as the label itself. weird.
Does the tape have a backing, and if so how easy is it to peal away?
For some reason my machine isn't printing anything, although I've used it many times before. Plain white tape comes out. I thought maybe there is an ink cartridge but no. Does anybody know why this is happening?
To the extent of how many characters can I use at a time or in one label?
How I can make patch panel label with proper size and pace
If you would put in rechargeable batteries, would they charge with the power adapter plugged in?
No
When I turn mines on, it immediately shut itself on me. Does it mean the battery is low?
+Pheara Lim Have you tried changing the batteries?
What is the smallest font size available? Are the font size similar to microsoft word font size printed out? Thanks
Can it print in white text color with black background?
Can we find the same with a paper roll ?
So only does skinny labels
Does anybody knows the difference between the 160 and 160e?
👍
Hola! No puede imprimir, solo gira y no sale la etiqueta, alguien podría ayudarme?
what is the max amount of digits it can print???
Excuse me what is the type for water proof
When I turn mine on, it shuts its self off when I go to print. The batteries are new and it does the same thing when I use a power cord. Is there anything else I should try?
Someone has mentioned that the molded-in symbols in the battery compartment are misleading or hard to interpret. You may have one or more batteries inserted the wrong way.
How I make label for 8 port patch panel
So the Labeling Tape is not included with label maker?
There is a shorter tape included with the machine.
I get a thin black film that also comes out with the label, should the black come out also? or just the white label with black letters.
no it should not come out. Do Not PULL on tape
Okay but where are the fonts????
I just bought my label maker 160 from Walmart and when I put the batteries in all that came up was "Hw error: flash!" And it says that blinking and I can't turn it on or nothing. What do I do??
I would suggest returning the unit. Seems like you got a defective unit.
Someone has mentioned that the molded-in symbols in the battery compartment are misleading or hard to interpret. You may have one or more inserted the wrong way.
Does it have any different fonts?
Does the printer do the £ sign and can you do a price label?
Yes it does have the pound symbol. And yes you can print price labels. It isn’t the most cost effective method though
No way to change font?
Mine isn’t printing. Maybe the ink dried out?
I would recommend replacing the label cartridge.
Can this print on fabric labels? Or just paper labels?
You can print on flexible fabric labels like these: amzn.to/2Rt7vnX
how much letters long can be Write in the label maker?
Over 90.
any tips on how to separate the tape in order to attach it?
Fold gently along the horizontal center line. The backing should peel.
I would say fold along the "lengthwise" center line.
What's the largest labels I can buy say at Walmart
+Melissa Cundiff 1/2 inch is the largest size
never mind, I found the ✂ on the side lol
Can this product be purchased in South Africa
+Shirrene Govender You can order it on Amazon, They ship anywhere in the world. :)
Will this label maker print 2-lines?
No. Just a single line
What microphone do you use for your videos?
OneStopEntertainment Depends. A range of mics. Sometimes the Zoom H1, the Blue Yeti, Rode Videomic Pro. It all depends on the type of video and how its shot. Here are links to some of those mics:
Zoom H1: amzn.to/1NSsEt4
Blue Yeti: amzn.to/1ybVwuP
Rode Videomic Pro: amzn.to/1PhPXzW
Hello, are the labels plastic, like the old ones?
Which old ones?
@@Reviewlamp the embossed ones
They are not as rigid as those. More like a thinner plastic material
@@Reviewlamp gotcha, thanks!
are the labels laminated?
+Ral Vandenhoudt They do have a coating. However, for more resistance to the elements, you might want to consider using a Dymo Rhino Labeler: amzn.to/1SL8xlw
Chargement de batrie
I just bought this and like it so far but how do you delete the whole line of text off the machine after printing without having to backspace it all?
Backspacing is really the only way.
where is the backspace key? Can't find it anywhere!
Um, the "x in an arrow" key under "L" or right next to "M"?
why 6 batteries when i only see 3?
+Adrienne Dolly There are 3 below, 3 on the top.
Remove the three that you see - you will find three more.
Magic lamp icon ?
Alibaba ?
The review genie, thus the lamp
Don't purchase this product. The spring on the door fails due to the actuator arm it connects to. Many Many of these items have broken after minimal use

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.
