"Am a little disappointed in this typewriter."
"Without a doubt, the best typewriter I've ever bought for just 100 bucks."
"The ribbon doesn't advance and on closer inspection the piece on the machine that goes into the ribbon cartridge to advance the ribbon is missing."
"I purchased this typewriter for my 87 year-old mother, who doesn't want a computer."
"This product does not feel professional."
"Had for 3 months then it started typing wrong letters for other letters it went haywire."
"This does have some parts I expected, like a paper bar that holds the paper against the roller."
Each EBS Ribbon is sealed to provide a long shelf life and that allows you to keep backup stock. 2 inch Spooled Ribbons.

"I recently came across a 1939 Smith Super Speed, and while it came with an old metal spool that worked fine, I wanted to save that and opted to get a ribbon I could use to freely write whenever."
"Ribbon was purchased for a 60s era Underwood Touch-Master 5, because I thought I wanted a single color ribbon."
"nice to have an old typewriter working."
"Nice solid inking and works great with my Underwood Five."
"Love that this tape fits my vintage Hermes 3000."
"Unfortunately, the ribbon arrived very dry."
"It may have just been the typewriter, but the ink was not dark or clear from this ribbon."

"I mainly use it to type addresses on labels and envelopes so it doesn't get a lot of use, but I have been satisfied with it so far."
"In this day of computer technology, there are still times in an office when a typewriter is need, particularly if your printer is just the slightest bit out of date."
"Bought it as a gift for my mom and she seems to really love it and uses it a lot."

"I need my typewriter!!"
"Amazon service great as usual and return easy thus a star. Drive 90 miles to a service center or return it to Amazon."

I admit to shredding windowed envelopes, continuous forms (like those credit card balance transfer checks), and ad mailers that have cards stuck to them with strips of adhesive. It's quiet. It shreds 12 sheets of paper, credit cards, and CDs as stated in the product description. It can run 8 minutes plus without overheating (it hasn't overheated on me yet). It hasn't jammed. The bin is a good size to not have to empty it frequently. The micro-cut is fabulous. It wheels around smoothly, no creaking or squeeking, and is easy to move around. Striker (the cat) loves the end results :)."
"PROS: - Micro-cut produces nearly 8X more particles than cross-cut. - Quiet for a shredder. - Pullout basket comes out and goes back in easily. - Large 6.7 gallon capacity bin. - Caster wheels for easy mobility. CONS: - Lacks secondary safety lock. - Blindingly-bright power LED. MICRO-CUT VS CROSS-CUT. The biggest advantage of the AmazonBasics over my old W-11C is the micro-cut feature. Here's a breakdown of the different cut types: strip cut: security level 2, 39 strips per 8.5" x 11" sheet. cross-cut: security level 3, 399 particles per 8.5" x 11" sheet. micro-cut: security level 4, 3,000 particles per 8.5" x 11" sheet. That's almost eight times the number of particles from cross-cut to micro-cut. It removes easily when you need to empty it and goes back in pretty smoothly as well. The three-position auto/off/reverse switch works well, but is the only way keep the shredder off, other than unplugging it. I always unplug the shredder when I'm not using it, but if you like to keep yours plugged in, just keep in mind that there's no additional lock."
"I can even shred that junk mail without opening it and stretching it out like I had to so my old shredder would not go 'hermitle' (think 'hermit crab retreating into its shell and glaring with its beady red eye (sic 'light')). The shred is also nice little 2 cm squares and do not fly around/grab onto/annoy me like the slips of paper from my old cross-cut shredder (those suckers would stick to everything and were able to achieve flight from me just breathing near them)."

I printed out labels using a Brother P-Touch PT-2030 and the DYMO LabelManager 160 and these were the results of my findings: As of the time of this writing, the DYMO 1/2" D-1 label roll is selling for $14 and includes 23 feet (276 inches) of label. As of the time of this writing, the Brother 1/2" P-Touch label roll is selling for $11 and includes 26.2 feet (314 inches) of label. I printed two labels that had this text in 24pt BOLD "TEST-XX-01". The DYMO label that was printed including wasted space on both sides was 2.75" in length which would allow 100 labels to be printed on a $14 roll. *** $0.14 per label. The Brother label that was printed including wasted space on both sides was 4" in length which would allow 78 labels to be printed on the $11 roll. *** $0.14 per label. *** TIE ***. I printed two labels that had this text in 24pt BOLD "255.255.255.255". The DYMO label that was printed including wasted space on both sides was 3.375" (3 3/8") in length which would allow 81 labels on $14 roll. *** $0.17 per label. The Brother label that was printed including wasted space on both sides was 4.5" in length which would allow 69 labels on a $11 roll. *** $0.16 per label. *** BROTHER WINS ***. The DYMO would win with smaller labels, it seems that my first label tested is about the tie breaker in size. Bottom line: If you print SMALL labels, you will get more for your money using a DYMO label printer with less waste per label. If you print larger labels, you will get more for your money using a BROTHER label printer even though it waste more per label. The DYMO generally prints more labels per roll than the brother, even though there is less label per cart, however the Brother label is cheaper at this time."
"It's the perfect size. It prints super clear. It has a button for clip art designs and pictures! It can write multiple lines on a single strip! Just grab this and a 2 pack of 23 foot long rolls and you'll love the thing! The tape cutter is very smooth and comes out from the top instead of the sides like other label makers!"
"I love labeling things and was so happy to receive this label maker."
"This is the only new Dymo labeler I could find that used that same cartridge, so I bought it and it's actually pretty cool! And you print right from the computer!"
"It does the job, and as an added bonus, it's actually easy to peel the backing off. The labeler is fun to use and comes with a rechargeable battery."
"Why did no one mention it requires a power adapter sold separately (mentioned in a blip) or a bunch of AAA batteries?"
