      Those cons are applicable to pretty much all label makers. They all waste tape unless you get organised and print a bunch at once.

    I think this is about $10 off. I went there yesterday and the cheapest labeller they had was $25.

    They also have a Dymo 160P. The P stands for Portable.

    So what, the 160 is tied to a brick?

    Big W has the Dymo Letratag for $25 currently. I bought one from Coles a couple of weeks ago when they were the same price. It's a good unit and I'm running it with 4xAA eneloops which is fine so far. It does say use alkalines only but I don't use them anymore.

  • Onysius on 04/06/2014 - 18:42

    The unit itself might be a bargain, but the D1 tapes for it certainly aren't.
    Personally, I think you'd be better off paying a little bit more for the Dymo Letratag, which uses less expensive tapes.

      And yeah look what I found. https://www.aldi.com.au/en/special-buys/wednesday-04-june-20…

      • eug on 04/06/2014 - 19:21

        Wow, only $4.99 more expensive than the newer model from Big W as mentioned a few lines above! :)

        Letratag is fine for basic labelling. The plastic labels resist touching much better than the paper ones, which will fade.

        D1 labels stick better on more difficult surfaces though. You can also get flexible tape in D1 format that lets you make proper cable flags. RhinoPRO industrial tapes work in D1 labellers as well, as long as you choose a smaller tape size.

        Aldi usually sell the consumables with their sales items but they haven't advertised them. I'll have to see if they do for this in store.

    when i see these…
    i think of Seinfeld lol

  • jason101 on 05/06/2014 - 08:51

    As most of you have worked out, these devices are heavily subsidised by the manufacturer as the consumable (tape) is sold at ridiculous margins. I've bought about 3-4 of these over the years, spending a total of about $100 on the machines but around $500 on the tape.

    • onlyletters on 05/06/2014 - 10:18

      You can get the generic stuff for $10 on eBay.

    Good deal but I prefer the embossed labels. Not as fancy but has cool nostalgic value for me…and no batteries!!

  • tonester on 07/06/2014 - 02:23

    now $10 - deal updated :)

  • cminez on 07/06/2014 - 14:26

    I almost didn't get this because a guy at OW said it was DX DYMO after he scanned its barcode. I shown them OW site that stated price for $10 and shelf price was the same and he wasn't like to take it. Store manager told he would do that cause it was a last unit. Bad feeling but got it anyway.

  • SydneyCBDgirl on 08/06/2014 - 13:24

    In case anyone else is having trouble for getting this for the right price, I think there's an error in matching up actual package barcodes and their pricing system.

    When I originally went the evening after the deal was posted to a Sydney CBD store, it scanned at $20. I even involved a supervisor who claimed he did some sort of check, and it still scanned at $20. He insisted, it could EASILY be $15 an hour ago and be $20 now, because we change our prices during the day multiple times. Not having Internet easily available (I hate my tiny phone), I believed him and said thanks, no thanks.

    Next day, I see it's $10 online, in-store only. So I go back. Still scans at $20. NO, WAIT A MINUTE, I just don't believe that. "Can you actually go to the same site consumers see, and check the price please?" It came up as $10. Then the claim was, "That's a different model. We HAD one of the $10 ones in stock, but it was defective." So I insisted, look online for $10 label makers… this is the only one at that price, and it says you have stock.

    Seems that the barcode on these — at least in some stores — INCORRECTLY scans as a "160P" even though the boxes are definitely labelled "160". It's the "160P" whose price is $20. He observed that the product photos for both on their site look identical. Because they couldn't figure out why the discrepancy existed, and I was clearly intent on holding them to the online price of a "160" rather than a "160P" for the "160" I had in my hand regardless of barcode, they did a price override.

    So if you try to grab one and it scans at $20, explain that according to the web site, the $20 price is for a different model, and that according to the web site, the price for THIS model is $10, and be prepared to explain to them how they can verify that, barcodes-that-exist-to-make-internal-lives-easier-but-which-are-not-visible-to-customers notwithstanding.
