Nimbot D11 - Review it or Else!

[@denoftools]

The full drama llama: The story is that I told them that I could do the video within 2 weeks of receiving the product. Then, even before I received the product, they started pestering me about the video. One of the emails had the phrase "When will you surprise us with the video". The tone of the email put me off so I moved them down a few notches on my todo list. They kept being pushy so it got moved to my "I'll get to that in a few days" list. Well a month goes buy and I get an email saying "Don't make us get our lawyers involved". And suddenly they got moved to the top of my "You can bite my fuzzy backside" list, where they stayed for the next five months.

Hi Jeff - I actually bought a Supvan label maker last week and it works great!

[@Arkie407]

So much entertainment for one day! Hold on, my heart is racing away in my chest... 💓😂😎

[@larryvergon6740]

Don't pi** off Da Bear!

[@whtwolf100]

They're bean counters, pestering until its done is just office culture Seems to me you're the one being petty here You get a free item contingent on a timeframe and service, and failed to hold up your end. Why the hell are you surprised they threatened legal action.

[@masterglaizer5918]

I do belive that when they started pestering me before the unit showed up I would have told them that if they are going to be like that, I would turn the package right around and send it back to them

[@vendetta989]

The threat of a lawsuit is enough for me to never want to deal with the company or their products!

[@GentleGiantFan]

Same here. Companies with that type of behavior can piss up a rope for all I care.

[@markknister6272]

A threat is a really good way to get a win a customer and get a friendly review.

[@rjs2005]

Nice looking label printer. No way in Hades am I going to order one, solely based on threat of a lawsuit. I'll stick to my Dymo that's worked well for me for at least 5 years now.

[@wiredperformance6130]

Wow what a way to burn a bridge. You do a awesome job on reviewing products so if you say they threatened you then I can only appreciate the heads up you’ve given us as viewers! This is why I don’t trust but but will trust a bear! Honesty matters.

[@TheSFFV]

Purchased the D110 in March. Works great. Purchased on Amazon and it has USB-C charging. Shame that they acted like a-holes. A lot if uses and I agree more of a tool.

[@tomschmidt381]

Thanks for the review. I'll keep using my Brother P-Touch USB label printer I've had for years.

[@billh.1940]

Why not a proven product from a good company!

[@JasonBlair]

Filed under "never buy from this company" and tag with "encourage everyone you know to do likewise".

[@deanfirnatine7814]

Yep 100%

[@KLartrandM]

I bought the D110 based off your suggestion months ago. Im happy with it so far. Its has a flat sides to it and a usb-c charge port

[@adambennett2176]

Great!! Thanks for thr honest review as always!!! You the bear!!! 🐻

[@nickabel8279]

Waiting to hear more but if they gave you one for free with the agreement you would review in x time you were in breach of a contract... You responded by doing a review so I'm wondering..

[@andyprairiedog]

Thermal printing type devices...Used a friend's label thingy for my ToughSystem 2.0....it didn't last in the heat of 105 degrees F. The label turned BLACK in the heat. Other labels that print that way did not do that...for some reason this particular one did.

[@jaredmarshall4245]

Well, you did your due diligence and posted the review video. Apparently some folks in Nimbot's PR department have never heard of the saying "Don't poke the bear!"

[@deanfirnatine7814]

Or you get more with honey rather than vinegar

[@allanb3222]

How do you say that in Chinese!! Lol 😆

[@Surannhealz]

I was able to avoid the threats by paying money for mine. Great printers. Have a couple of them already and adding another. I was coming from the old school Brother style printers which have been around for decades which print on TZ & TZe label. This style is far more versatile. The only downside I have is that I can't write with a pen on the label because it has a slick surface. Sharpie kind of works though.

[@jeffhaddox2239]

I guess I’ll keep using a Sharpie and blue tape.

[@denoftools]

That has been my go to but I find after a few years that it can dry up and fall off some surfaces.

[@sobeforlife]

Lol they dun poked the bear!

[@p24t]

This is super best label primer! Very happy!

[@denoftools]

Careful, you could make a living writing reviews like that.

[@cujoedaman]

After being threatened, my review would include a "hammer test" and then I would complain that it wasn't built well enough to withstand an accidental hammer blow because that happens ALL THE TIME. Then I would not recommend.

[@3rdpig]

I normally tell companies that I'll get their review up in 2-3 weeks, but my channel isn't anywhere near as busy as yours. I've forgotten some smaller, cheaper items sent to me and I've never been threatened in any way.

[@jamesu]

Looks cool but I don't need to go back to thermal printing. It sucked when it came out.

[@nedsurf1876]

Made and marketed by nimrods?

[@KLartrandM]

I would love to see the companies that made the coveted "bite my fuzzy back side" list. Come on bear, share 🤣😂🤣

[@denoftools]

#1 right now is Milwaukee. They seem to only work with channels that won't disclose that Milwaukee sent them free tools or gave them free trips. I asked a Milwaukee rep why they support channels that are breaking federal regulations and their response was... "We do not pay for reviews". I pointed out that wasn't my question. All I got after that was crickets.

[@KLartrandM]

@@denoftools good to know thanks. Only milwaukee tool i own is a tape measure. And i regret buying that. I have no reason to switch. My dewalt, kobalt and bauer tools cover all my needs. Not saying they are better but they get the job done.

Hello again Jeff and Mrs. Bear 🐻 Thank you for another Great Video 👍 When you get done putting the labels on. Could you do a in use Video. Labels do wear out and need to be replaced. Again thank you 😊

[@TheVintagesteal]

The person who threatened you is probably shaking in their safe space, sobbing away after seeing this....

[@denoftools]

I have to be honest. They probably don't care. I'm a fringe audience for them. They target women into crafting and such.

[@thetshirtblog]

Please, does it print in Russian?

[@srbinsajuga3326]

Good lord please keep the bear suit on.

[@PhillyFixed]

I DEFINITELY wouldn't have reviewed it 😅 I have a few no-name tools I haven't done vids on because they hassled me aggressively about the video they wanted me to do for free in exchange for a tool that cost them $5 to make.

[@denoftools]

It's funny because it's the no name tools that try to make all sorts of demands. They try to get me to sign a contract, agree to final video approval, control what I say and then demand all sorts of links to shady websites. HF sent me that Icon box years ago with the comments of. "Let us know what you think".... That's it. I've found the the more reputable a company is the less demands they make. The only large company that I had any issues with is Milwaukee. They contacted me about 4 years ago and said they were going to add me to their new tools distro list. I thought I was reassuring the PR rep when I told them I would make sure to disclose the source of the tools. Nope, I got black listed instead. Every yeah some new rep over there reaches out to me and says they are looking for new creators to work with and then they go to get approval and crickets. I spoke to the head of their PR last month and flat out asked why I had been black listed. She denied that was the case. So then I asked why they continue to work with creators who don't disclose they received free tools or even free trips. Her response was... "Milwaukee never pays for reviews". I pointed out that she hadn't answered my questions. And again... crickets.

[@james10739]

I saw some of these pretty cheap small printers I was thinking the about I do low voltage so a label is useful all the time

[@tmartin6717]

I purchased one from Amazon a few months ago, and returned it because the app did not connect to the printer.

[@boblewis5420]

Don’t poke the Bear, I always say! Great video (as always), I think they got their money’s worth.

[@matersworkshop6123]

If it included a stand then that would make it better

[@officialshadetreeamerica]

Maybe a docking station base would be stellar

[@davidquesada8704]

I’m sure there’s already an STL file out there to 3D print a docking station.

[@dundeemt]

How is this better than a standard label maker? Now you need 2 things.: Your phone and the lablemaker. Maybe someone can come up with a way to pair my hammer with my phone.

[@davidquesada8704]

I’m sure it’s already been done and companies like Amazon and others are using it to analyze employee’s efficiency. Then the Amazon overlords can give you a little jolt if your strike force or strikes per minute drop below a certain threshold.

[@TwoFeatherChannel]

I was wondering what that Rat image was about in the beginning, now I know

[@officialshadetreeamerica]

If they are that desperate to have a review on their product, then I wonder if they are that desperate to help out with customer service? I really doubt that 100%. I will stick to the label maker I have already. I don't need fancy pictures on my labels, I just need the words.

[@markb3129]

Threat must have worked, you doing a video about it🤣!!

[@bwselectronic]

I got one a few months ago. Nice little printer. Didn't deal with the people there. I won't be recommending them now.

[@denoftools]

It's a different company than is selling them on Amazon. I'd direct people there.

[@mikeerin5031]

No usb-c because of cost. It’s more expensive…by just a little

[@LordRa777]

Liked your video it was really good but after hearing what they did I don't think I'm going to buy, had they not been such a holes they could have got a lot of free advertising for this.

I'll be sure to buy one of them .. NOT 😱

[@xnotx2]

Love it 🐀 lol

[@NCC2100]

Well, knowing all that, I really won't buy one. I hope they read this too.

[@BilgemasterBill]

That label should really read: "Du bist eine Ratte". Indeed German's tough, or as they themselves freely admit, "Deutsche Sprache, schwere Sprache" [= "German language, hard language"]. As a fairly unpleasant sort who lived yonder many years, grown well used to being the brunt of such insults, I might further suggest amping that one up just a tad after the local idiom with a nice adjective like "schmutzige" or "miese" or "dreckige", all of which mean variations on "filthy" or "lowdown". Think Jimmy Cagney. Hence, for example: "Du bist eine miese Ratte" [pronounced: "Doo bisst ay-nuh mee-zuh rat-tuh"], simply rings more authentically Teutonic. As for that gizmo, analog elder that I am, I think I'll pass on that doodad, preferring the simple old school tactile pleasures of my ancient typewriter-like Dymo Labeler squeezing out those plastic embossed strips--rotate wheel, squeeze trigger, rotate wheel, press, etc. Very satisfying. And besides, those clowns should be made to appreciate that if they mess with The Bear they mess with roughly a quarter million "us."

[@mrcvry]

Tell her the correct spelling. It is „Ratte“. 😁

[@RepairGang]

Lol

[@danr1920]

Seems totally useless to me. The classic Dymo and the modern ones are the better choice.

[@drackar]

Unless you signed a contract stating you'd have a review for their product within a given time frame... which it doesn't sound like you do, threatening lawsuits is just dumb and pointless. Pushing for reviews before the content has even been delivered... what, did they ship the product without a godamn tracking code? How amateur hour is this company?

[@homesteadlife6854]

You could always ... you know KEEP YOUR WORD. If you said you'd have a review out in 2 weeks, then do it that simple. Remember a time when being a man meant doing what you said you'd do? You admit to pushing the review back simply because you took offense to their tone? What are you a 60 year old Karen. Don't go asking for free things if you can't keep up your end of the deal. Men who can't keep their word is just a part of why this society is failing.

[@denoftools]

Part of reviewing a product is also reviewing the company. If a company is being pushy that's a red flag. It's not just my feeling at steak here. People who can't take an extra minutes to process all sides of a story before they go keyboard warrior are a bigger issue if we are being serious about the failings in this country.
