⬐ cebertAmazon reviews used to be helpful, but now I can’t trust them. Fairly frequently I’ll buy an item on Amazon from a third party. When I receive the item, more often than not there’s a flyer encouraging me to write a positive review in exchange for a favor such as a discount.

Even legit companies abuse that. Dymo's latest label printer models enforce DRM on the paper which is a shitty move on its own. But then what they did on Amazon was swap their model 450 printer to the new model 550 so they would keep all of the good reviews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwggIw2HQuQ
⬐ LegitShadyThe issue isn't dyno (although it is their actions that obviously started it) it's that amazon does nothing to protect their customers from companies like dymo.⬐ BolexNOLADRM paper?⬐ pixl97⬐ robbedpeterhttps://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/02/worst-timeline-printer...⬐ BolexNOLAI swear it’s like some companies want to remind us how little the care.I would say that definitively puts Dymo in the "not legit" camp. They're shady af.

I've used probably a dozen Labelwriters among the 400, 450 and turbo ones, and never ever had any issues by using non original rolls. This is nothing but an anti-consumer measure; I'll never buy or suggest a Dymo product again, and my rolls already work perfectly on my old Zebra printer.
