DYMO Connect is terrible, use DYMO Label.

DYMO Connect makes simple tasks difficult and is a serious downgrade to the previous software. One major, but not the only, frustration is the device address book is no longer accessible and requires connecting to either Google or Microsoft contacts. I dread using the "new" DYMO Connect software. The previous DYMO Label software is accessible via this product page, however after a while the latest version of macOS reports the software is no longer useable and suggests it be removed. A quick removal and re-installation of the software seems to "fix" it until the next time.

Excellent but ....

Bought this printer to replace an earlier DYMO 4XL (Needed two labels all the time). Easy to set up; easy to use but the software is still very flaky. It 'loses' the USB port several times a day and I have to unplug everything, give it a minute and then replug - then it springs back into action. Tried USB 2 and USB 3 still the same. Support is quick to respond - but the software needs fixing.

Twin Turbo 450 Problems

As I have read over 50 times, the Twin Turbo 450 is a great machine; BUT, the new connect software is horrible. I read that your software technicians was working on the Connect Software problems two years ago. Unfortunately, the software is still horrible. I never ever had a problem with DYMO until the new Connect software was released. I use, just as everyone else with problems who reviewed the product, the Version 8 software. How do I change the "Go to Stamps" icon in Version 8 so it goes to the new Endicia website instead of an old site which is an error. Another problem I have is the fact that whenever I reboot my computer, I lose the driver for the Twin Turbo. I have to disconnect it and install an old Single 450 Turbo which sets up the correct driver. I then have to disconnect the Single Turbo and reconnect the Twin Turbo. It is obvious that your company is not updating the Version 8 software; but then again, it also appears that no one is fixing all the numerous Connect Software problems. Thank you for your patience from a very frustrated DYMO Twin Turbo user who is very close to looking for different label hardware!

Initially Great .... but turned to trash!

I have had both the 450 twin as well as the postage scale. I used it daily when i "first" got it without problems. Then software started getting changed ... then companies and so much disorganization as to make them worthless. The employees were never able to figure out and could actually go to the post office faster and cheaper than successfully getting something printed out. I could not recommend getting another Dymo product because of all the grief we have had with these.

Works Wonderful on MAC

As part of my job I test and use many different models and brands and for my personal use with our MAC computers we use the DYMO label printers. We have units that print labels, plastic labels and postage and find this product as one of the all time great time savers and a great value.

The problem may be you.... I've had one for years

I read all these negative reviews. Here's with my iMac. Occasionally, there is a printing concern. I've had bad printing to multiple blank labels coming out of the machine. Here's what I do and it's my 'go to' procedure: Disconnect the printer and unplug it. Give it a couple of minutes to fully discharge. On the Mac,go to System Setting >Printers> Printers and Scanners> Dymo Labelwriter and remove the printer with the minus (-) sign. Restart your Mac. Connect the printer to power and connect the USB cable. Then go back to System Settings >Printers> Printers and Scanners> and add the printer with the plus(+) sign. You may need to restart the Mac again, yet that's pretty much all there is to it. Stuff happens. Don't panic and take a moment. This is especially likely after an OS update/upgrade.

Good printer. Horrible software

I've used DYMO Label Software for years. Then, I made the mistake of cutting over to the new Connect Software. Yes - a BIG mistake. Where the heck did all my labels go?! Over a 100 labels, and this software doesn't even have the decency to import from the old package!!! The old stuff was intuitive and easy to use. This new stuff is so bad that I have no choice but to scrape it off the bottom of my shoe and go back to the old software. The printer itself is great, but the software kills it. It may be time to go with a different brand of label maker. DYMO should be ashamed of this crap.

Why do Dymo software developers hate their custome

What a piece of CRAP! This software is basically unusable. I don't understand what their customers did to the software engineers to motivate them to write such bad software? I've used Dymo products for decades and I've never seen anything so terrible in all my life. I know it might be difficult to hire good programmers these days but any college student could write better software than this pile of CRAP!

Was a 5-Star Until I saw the update

I have been using this label printer for years on a Win7 PC with NO issues at all. I actually own 3. After many years of straight forward usage I was left beyond dissapointed. First the postage printing vendor changed the rules and left me with $100 of useless postage supplies, but that was ok still because I could still print labels. However, when I was forced to upgrade to Windows 10 and saw the new version of the software the 5-star dropped to a No-Star. It used to integrate with an Outlook plug-in, and allowed for very simple easy to use, on-the-fly adjustments - worked like a charm. Now I have to log-in to O365 every time I want to pull-in a contact record. I cannot quickly batch select from my outlook contacts. Perfect product if you print one label many times, but otherwise I don't understand the decision to make this software useless. I am so annoyed with trying to print 20 labels that I gave up just to come write this review. I may as well go back to buying Avery label sheets...

Couldn't live without it at school/home

I am a teacher and label everything in my classroom. Also, all reports and letters that go out of my classroom are labeled in a professional manner. It just makes everything I do and have in my room look professional. Students know where everything goes because they just follow the labels. Also, at the beginning of the year I put all student numbers and passwords on a label and have them put it in their agenda so they always know where it is. I have the Label/Writer Twin Turbo at school and got a new one at home for Christmas. I couldn't live without them. Everything in my cabinets at home are labeled and organized.
