Dymo 154000 Office-Mate II Tapewriter Embosser, 3/8" Forward/Reverse

To me, the secret to using this product is to realize there is a separate path for 3/8" tape. Before I did, the letters wandered all over the tape. The instructions might have done a better job pointing out the small channel for small tape. I am only disappointed that this product is being phased out. I cannot find other embossing wheels like I used to (Special characters, vertical letters, etc. One other reviewer pointed out this product was plastic. Well, they were plastic 45+ years ago when I got my first one, and just as "flimsy" back then. Sure, a metal one would be great, and I would probably opt to may for one of higher quality, but for the $, the 1540 works acceptably. Just get to know the product and note the issue about properly loading 3/8" tape.

We had a 1550 for years and it finally gave out - the 1540 is plastic and no where the quality of the Dymo 1550

Used frequently for office and household things. Finally wore out. Replaced with exact same model because it worked well. Replacement tapes easy to find and inexpensive. Not meant for fancy labels but good for everyday uses.

Everything is great about it except it is hard to open.
