use to be Great, Now with Windows 11 Not
I have been using this Duo printer for years No Problems. Now with windows 11 only part of the unit works. The software does "NOT" work with windows 11, If you are going to use Windows 11 , I would not recommend this Product.

Can't print anymore after a window update
After a Windows 10 security update, all LabelWriter printers in my company are unusable. 45 days after the update, Dymo support has no solution! Programmed obsolescence ?

Tape not compatible with Windows 10 AT ALL
Same as everyone else.... tape stopped working on Windows 10. The Dymo fix only works until the next reboot. They blame it on a specific Windows update that most of us didn't even get, so that's not the problem. It doesn't take any company more than a year to fix a software bug, so this is definitely a case of Dymo not caring about its customers or how many purchased their product. Printer is now a paperweight.

Not compatible with Windows 11
Unfortunately this device is not compatible with Windows 11 and has been rendered useless since the release of Windows 11 in October. I have been unable to use this device, and not Dymo or Microsoft are doing anything to fix it.

DYMO forgets there is a Mac
DYMO seems to have forgotten that Macs are popular. Although macOS can use various DYMO label sizes, I have not found an app that understands the page size (read: label size) and orientation. To make things worse, I have an old Twin Turbo -- a workhorse. But it's USB only, and the DYMO app does not see it. Apparently, USB doesn't exist any more.
Finally, the web site does not work well in Safari. I used Opera, a browser from the Netherlands that works great, which is further indication DYMO doesn't care about Macs.

Great when works, not reliable
I have loved this printer for many years. During covid, it was the only piece of equipment I took home with me from the office to do my job. But over the years, I have had several periods where it just stops working. Usually due to a windows update or new driver. In order to get it working I have to call my IT department and spend HOURS getting it fixed. I am once again looking at a dead printer, After hours of working with my IT department, I can get the label to print, but not the tape. I frankly use the tape more than the label. So this machine is basically not functional for me, again. So because the reliability is so low and when there is a break the company seems to take MONTHS to get a fix, I would not recommend this, as when you NEED a printer, it may not work for you. Also the new Dymo Connect software is way harder to use than the old software that you used to be able to use. It isn't intuitive, it takes me twice as long to print the only label I can print, sometimes.

Not compatible with latest Apple Mac
Was a good product. Not compatible with any Mac bought after 2018 unfortunately and Dyno have no plans to release new software. Avoid.

Expensive mistake to purchase
Absolute crap for software and software support. Such a shame that do not fix this as there is a real need for the solution. Missed opportunity for Dymo.

Windows Security Updates Keep Breaking Dymo
I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this but all of the users in my office are consistently having unable to use the DYMO printer after any of the recent Microsoft Windows security updates run. It's happened after the last 3 security updates. Every time, I have to uninstall the update from each person's machine and then block it from installing. This has been ongoing and on multiple machines (at least 7) and label writers (at least 3).
Is this the new normal?

Used to love your products.
have at least 10 of these units in our company. When they updated to Windows 11 not compatible!!!!!!!! We are very disappointed with you all. It would be great if you could support your product line or have an alternative that would work, But when I called you customer support they have no answers. ( now sure how you train your support team). Now I need to find a company who can support our needs. I really liked your the 450 duo it made my work a bit easier.

I have the older Dymo Label/Writer Duo and have had zero problems keeping it updated with software and supplies. I give credit to the Dymo company for keeping my machine available and current. Nice to have printer I can count on using for years.

Do not recommend
I purchased a 450 Duo and it quit working about 5 months of having it. I have sent emails, but have yet to hear back from someone at DYMO. Our IT personal stated that DYMO is having issues with the Windows 10. I have not been able to use my label maker because DYMO can't fix the problem on their end yet I get stuck with and very expensive paper weight.

Expensive Machine, Doesn't Work
Useless in our Middle School Library! Very annoying that the tape portion doesn't work.Impossible to keep calling in the school tech department to uninstall and reinstall software. Had it working last week, this week it's down again! We really count on this machine in the school library setting. Hardware is fine, software is the issue. Disappointing.

Stopped working after a few minutes
Lovely bit of kit.....if only it worked to print a second label. I'm using a Mac with Catalina and not the LableWriter is stuck warning me that the Label path is blocked. I've cleaned it and even user an air duster but still I can't print and there is no jam what so ever. Even uninstalling and reinstalling the application has not helped.

great printer, cannot use because of windows 11
I have used Dymo over the years and like the product. Was upgraded to Windows 11, and now the machine is worthless. Please give us an option to install. This is crazy, considering that these machines are not cheap and keeps us from using labels and ultimately reordering labels which is good for business, or so you would think!

LW 450 Duo does not work with Windows 11 home
My Labelwriter is now a paperweight. The on line Connect software does not work with Windows 11 home. Tried a new machine completely and no luck. No help on line and I can't find an equivalent from anyone else. How does Dymo even sell these things?

Excellent for Home Use!
The Dymo LabelWriter450 Duo has performed excellently for labeling thousands of CD/DVD/BRD sleeves, hundreds of envelopes, and other miscellaneous items around our home. A great multi-use product for home users at all levels.

Works great on Ubuntu
Can unfortunately no longer use the tape printer with Windows since the Windows 11 security policy prohibits the use of the tape printer, but fortunately now runs fluently with lprint on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish.

Compatibility with MacOS
Apple Big Sur is not mentioned as a special download version on the product page: BUT the latest Mac software works with the download of the Catalina version of the Dymo software - this is great!

Don't waste your money
For what I paid you would think this labeler would work properly. I shouldn't have to keep installing and uninstalling to get this to work, as what I was told to do per DYMOs IT dept.

Nefunguje tisk pásky!!!
Bohužel ve Windows 10 přestal po aktualizaci fungovat tisk pásky a ve Windows 11 se o její zprovoznění už ani nepokusili. Nedoporučuji kupovat tuto tiskárnu!!! Jsou to vyhozené peníze!

Printer would be great, but software is TERRIBLE!!
I purchased the Duo 450 a year ago and used it often to label items in our production studio as well as inventory that we check out to people to be used around campus.

Poor support
Seems like there is no interest from Dymos side to make it compatible with Windows 11, even though there should be nothing preventing it from functioning.

Crap software
Software doesn't recognize printer. However, we can print from Notepad. Why is DYMO Connect so bad? It's unusable.
