This label maker is very easy to use, makes great labels and so far has worked without any serious problems. The one issue I had out of the box was that when printing labels on 3/4" shrink tube they came out with a blank stripe (i.e. no ink printed) down the center of the label. After not finding a solution on line, and not getting a response from Dymo, I started experimenting, wasting about half of an expensive cartridge (did I mention they are all expensive, not just shrink tube) trying to see if I got a bad unit, bad cartridge, or there was some other issue. It turns out that both cleaning the print head helps a little and darkening the print (it is called "print contrast" under the "settings" button fixed the problem. It doesn't make any sense to me why that would have an effect on the problem, particularly since the print was already very dark before making the adjustment, but it worked. Once that problem was fixed I was very happy with the unit. I might mention that sometimes it does strange things, like printing the smallest font when you have told it to use the biggest. That and some other strange problems were cured by universal Microsoft fix - power down and restart. I wonder if this printer is running any MS software. Read full review

Rhino 5200 is great for network and electrical panel labeling. The Polyester labels are very wear-resistant, but have a memory so aren't good for tight diameters. If you're labeling flat surfaces go with Polyester. The other tapes are Vinyl and Nylon, both are flexible but Vinyl can be used in direct sunlight. (The above took a very long time to figure out; most sites, including Dymo, won't really tell you the basic things you need to know.) The print automatically gets small if you need that, to the point where I've put onto one 3/4" tape a host's name, IP, drop number, and property number. It's tough to read with my older eyes but it'll fit onto the label, 4 lines all scrunched onto the tape. The LCD gives you an idea of what will fit and what won't, by graying a part of the display. Battery lasts a long time - you can save some money by going with disposable AAs*6. The lithium-rechargeable is nice, charging is fast. Just make sure you have a lot of labels to make before you go that route. The orange-colored display is easy on the eyes and very legible. I'd recommend you go to labelcity.com for labels - they've been quick and knowledgeable and it's their core product, not just something in a large store that knows nothing about what they sell. I think the rest of the features you can get by reading the product's brochure.Read full review
I have used the little brother to this labeler. It is nice to be able to print 3/4" width labels.

I was considering another brand, but the cost of the tapes is what put me over to the DYMO. Easy to use, works great.
