Dymo's Dynamo!

Advantages: Handy to use, great quality labels, never runs out of ink
Disadvantages: Quite expensive, noisy, can't print colour

...At the beginning of this year, we ordered a Dymo Labelwriter 320 from PC World Business. I had never used one of these before, but we were in definite need of one, myself in particular. I work in a busy Accounts department and Sales Invoices and Payments are sent out nearly every day. We couldn't use Window envelopes for the invoices, due to the way they were set out, so each time I needed to send an invoice, I would use a sheet of 21 Address labels. It got to the point where not only was I getting peeved at being at the printer every five minutes for one measly label, but our printer was unreliable and so messed up a lot of the labels, resulting in a lot of waste. That's when the Dymo labelwriter was mentioned by a colleague who had used one in a previous job. I originally went onto www.dymo.co.uk to check out the Labelwriter...

The Dymo 400 saves me so much time, it is a good buy

Advantages: Prints quickly, easy to use, no ink, time saver
Disadvantages: A little expensive to run for some

...The Dymo Labelwriter has been available in various models for a long time now. Many grumble at the limited use, plus the fact that you can use only Dymo labels with the device. Well, whilst this is true, you should really look at this device as a great time saving device, rather than money saving. I picked up a Labelwriter 400 just recently. I had the next model up before, but sold it on for a very good price. Within a week of selling it, I wished I hadn't. Address and shipping labels vary in price and size, but the smaller address labels work out about 3p each. There is no ink or mess to worry about, as this is a thermal printer, so the printer makes the label react and reveal a fairly crisp 300dpi print. It is nice and fast and quiet in use. So, imagine the scenario, perhaps like me you sell on ebay. I might only sell one thing a day...

My friend called Dymo!

Advantages: Fast, Looks neat and sexy like me!!!!
Disadvantages: only black and white.

...The Dymo Label Writer 330 Turbo. ---------------------- At the beginning:- ---------------------- The reason my company bought this label printer was that my computer is new to the office and I therefore had no 'creature comforts' that the other girls have got on their computers and desks. All the other computers have Seiko label printers, however we have 3 of them already and they are expensive to run and the print quality is only OK. So I managed to con my boss into letting me have one of these sexy red machines on my desk! I rooted around and we eventually bought it from Euroffice for £89 in the end of season sale as it was an end of line. It retailed at over £200 normally so I was so chuffed id bagged a bargain for my company so early on! Unfortunately, it was out of stock when we ordered it due to the great demand...

The Dymo Labelwriter 330... for all your office needs!

Advantages: Compact, creates pro-looking labels, easy to set up and use
Disadvantages: Bit pricey, not entirely necessary as there are other ways of creating labels

...into your computer. (Not very good for fans of wireless IT gear... this does get rather fussy with all these wires). There was some software that had to be installed on the computer, but this took no more than 3 minutes, and was immediately ready for use. The device itself is quite small and compact, and does look fancy on your desk as opposed to some ugly old-fashioned-looking label makers. It's a sleek silver colour, with a burgundy bottom. Simple and neat. For printing out normal labels, the machine is perfect. It is very easy to use. You simply highlight the address you wish to print out, then click the tiny label button which gets installed on your Word program or similar in the toolbar, and then you click print when the window pops up. Alternatively, you can go to your start menu, click on the Dymo option and do it from there, by...

The Dymo Omega Embosser is a great easy to use product.

Advantages: It's easy to use, comfortable to hold and a well-designed product.
Disadvantages: Correct pressure has to be applied to trigger for best outcome.

...The Dymo Omega Embosser does exactly what it says in the name. You feed the coloured strip on a reel in the back of the machine, press down the desired letters/spaces etc and hey presto you have a personalised embossed sticker. It very easy to use, and because it?s a manual label maker there are no batteries required, so you don?t have the hassle of replacing them. The sticker that is embossed is really strong and durable. Once you stick it to something it lasts an extremely long time without fading and stays stuck to it. I haven?t yet found a surface it won?t stick to. It is great tool for any business to own, no longer will there be any arguments over whose stapler it is. It?s not just for business use though. I?m a graphic design student and I?ve found this product endlessly useful in designs, labelling my books and portfolios...

Dymo 320 labelWriter. Well worth buying

Advantages: Easy to operate
Disadvantages: None

...The Dymo 320 LabelWriter is sat to the right of my desk at work and it cost about £90.00. It has already saved this many times over in terms of saved time, money and reduced stress on staff! For some reason our large digital printer/copier hates printing labels. After the third time of having to have the service engineer come out to remove a rogue label that had become glued to the drum ,our head of IT decided that it would be better to buy a label printer. We decided to buy a Dymo 320 LabelWriter. It can be networked and so is shared by a number of people in our very busy publishing company, being shared by IT, sales, editorial and accounts. It is fairly easy to load with paper rolls and automatically lines the role up at the start of using the roll. The labels are easy to pull off and it does a good, professional job...

Vtech V Smile Pocket educates and stimulates

Advantages: Turns game time into brain time!
Disadvantages: Need to separately purchase the Pocket Travel Bag to protect the LCD screen.

...When my eldest child (the one that is 6 going on 60!) received the V Smile Pocket I won on Ebay last Christmas, I received the biggest smile EVER! And so far, it has lived up to all that my eldest child expected from it. - THE PRODUCT- The V Smile Pocket is the handheld version to the V Smile TV Learning System, which is marketed for kids aged 3+. However, the V Smile Pocket is marketed for children between the ages of 5 and 9. Thankfully, the games you buy work with the V Smile Pocket as well as the V Smile TV Learning System. In addition, the V Smile Pocket can be played as a hand-held unit, or plugged directly into the TV for an at-home game play experience - thanks to the AV cable it comes with as standard. As a plus point, the V Smile Pocket can accommodate both right and left-handed players. To switch to either right...

Review of VTech Pocket VSmile

A Pocket Gem

Advantages: Sturdy quality; nice little touches like the pocket at the back; Nostaglic Romanticism
Disadvantages: None

...Moleskine proudly boasts that it was the notebook of choice for a number of influential thinkers, artists and writers, ranging from Van Gogh to Hemingway, via Matisse and Chatwin. A lofty pedigree indeed, so what made these great minds choose such an unassuming little black book, and why should you choose one today? I actually started with Moleskines when I received one of their diaries for Christmas, and finding it a handy little thing decided to branch out with a notebook. I run a couple of websites, one of which is an online monthly magazine, and find the need to jot down thoughts, and start writing article introductions, straight away lest I forget what was going through my head. At a diminutive 9x14cm this notebook easily slips inside a coat pocket, with the 192 lined pages proving enough to get a huge amount of thought...

Cheese & Ham Pockets

Advantages: taste nice, don't burn in the microwave
Disadvantages: unhealthy

...I have been off a lot lately since it is the summer and I am not at university. So I do find since being a student I did get lazy but for going back in Autumn I have been trying to find different products that I could use for snacks or lunch in between classes. While at my local supermarket I came across the Maggi Hot Pockets which were microwavable which I do try to stay away from as it is unhealthy but they looked too good to resist and with a preparation time of only two and a half minutes it sounded like something I would benefit from. The packaging is very eye catching with this product, I haven?t heard of Maggi before but I soon would. The cover has a very appetising photo of the hot pocket piping hot with steam arising from it and a very filling tasty flavour oozing out. The box is yellow, read and orange so all the warmest...
