Not as bad as the reviews I read....
I was a little skeptical when I read the bad reviews for this label maker, but I ended up not having any issues. If you want precise, evenly spaced, perfect labels this probably isn't for you, but bought it for the old-school feel and it fulfilled my need. The letter dial is easy to use, as is the cutter function. They are sticky enough to adhere to the surface, but not so adhered that they're impossible to get off. Some other reviewers said it stopped working after a couple of uses, but I'm 50 labels in and it's still working great.
A couple of tips based on the bad reviews I read:
-I found pressing down really hard on the clamp made the letters worse. Just squeeze the clamp until it clicks and the letters will come out fine.
-When cutting your label, i pressed down halfway first to get better spacing between the last letter and the end of the label, before clamping all the way down to cut the strip.
