EpsonLabelWorks LW-300 Label Maker (C51CB69010)

Let me start this review by saying that I have always wanted a labeler. I am a very organized person, and the I thought that this would help a lot with keeping even more organized. After I decided that I was going to purchase one of them, I set out on the quest of finding the best one for the price. I mainly looked at the Brother P-Touch models versus the Epson LabelWorks models. After reading several reviews and product videos, I came to the conclusion that this would be the best one because the Brother models seem to waste a lot of paper before and after the text that you want printed.With the labeler, came a roll of tape, an instruction manual, and a quick reference guide which is turning out to be quite helpful. I suggest that you buy extra tape because what it comes with is only a sample, not the usual nine meter roll.Anyway, onto the review of this fine label maker. First, let me say that I have only been using this product for about one week and it has not been under heavy use. I am primarily using it for household items, my files, etc. I use it maybe twice a day to make a simple label, nothing fancy with the frames or fonts or borders. That is why I opted for this model and not the Epson LabelWorks LW-400 Label Maker (C51CB70010). I am more than happy with this labeler. It is quick, intuitive, and even fun to use. Also, unlike the P-Touch series, it hardly wastes any tape before and after the text. One of my favorite features about it is that I can save up to 50 (I think) different frequently used labels. This is helpful because I often need to print my name on things and it can be tedious to type it in every time that I need it.Another great feature about this labeler is the versatility. Although I have only started to touch on some of the fancier frames and fonts, I can see it being very cool for scrapbooking and other crafts projects. There are probably hundreds of different uses for this besides simply labeling and organizing.Overall, I am very pleased with this product. The only thing that I can think of that I don't like is that the price of tape is a bit more expensive than the competitors. I highly recommend this labeler. If you have any questions, just comment and I will write back!

I've been using a P-touch for a number of years, and lost the instructions, so decided just to replace it, as I needed a way to label a bunch of crafts supplies.After researching the options, I decided on this LW-300 model, and so far, it's performing BEAUTIFULLY! I've labeled a dozen jars of buttons, and about 50 file labels for my collection of craft paper pads (I make hand-crafted greeting cards). I'm still on the first set of batteries AND the original label cassette. No problems at all.I'm really impressed with the variety of label designs, as well as the "special characters" that come standard with this. You get a cassette of 1/2" white tape/black ink, and I'm finding the print to be crisp and clear. I've done a few labels with just one line, but most are 2-line labels, and the print is clear and easy to read. Operation isn't difficult at all, once you "get" how to cycle through the options on the machine itself. The screen is not backlit, so you need to use this where there's enough light to read the screen.I like that it doesn't waste a lot of tape, either. It seems to allow about 3/8" on either side of the printing. My old label maker left at least 1/2" on either side, so this is definitely an improvement.My next investment might be a power cord, but honestly, if the batteries continue to last as long as these seem to be, I don't think I'll actually need it.Very happy with this!

Idk what they are smoking thinking 10x the price 7 years later is some how acceptable. I get maybe they don't want to sell it anymore, but that's why you sell out and stop listing instead of gouging your customers. If there is limited stock, it still sketchy to raise the price by eve 30-50%, but not 10x.Send them a message with your wallet. Just don't buy ANY of Espons products if they are going to blatantly way over charger their customers. Buy from a competitor instead.Design: too pricy to risk damaging the cheap plasticPrint Quality: too pricy to print on anythingBattery life: too pricy to power onSize: too pricy to handleLabel qualtiy: too pricy to use on anythingHow well it works: too pricy to use

I’ve had this Epson LW-300 Label Maker for nearly a month and am still very pleased with it. It has 14 fonts and within each one it has options like bold, italics, shadow, etc. It also has punctuation options, symbols and 2-line printing and the font size has 4 options. I chose a “like new” option from this dealer because the “new” one was nearly 2 ½ times the price. I had several inquiries about it, and they answered in a very timely manner, usually within hours and shipping was on time too. They said the unit might have some scratches, but it arrived in perfect condition. It did not come with a user manual, but I was easily able to go to Epson.com and find it and print it. Also, at Epson.com you can find FAQs about it on the same page which I found very helpful. I ordered several Epson cartridges from this dealer and am very pleased with them. There are a lot of options available when you purchase the cartridges: clear, white, iron-on, etc. The blue-looking labels in the photo are a actually a clear label when you peel off the blue backing. I hope this label maker never wears out or quits working!
