DYMO Digital Postal Scale/Shipping Scale, 10-Pound (1772057)

I have the unit hooked up by USB or data and power. The unit operates exactly as expected. So physically the device is fine. I would like to see better software provided by DYMO it is very limited in functionality. Basically just displaying the weight of the last item on your screen. No ability for a log of items scanned. It would be very much appreciated if postal billing printing software was provided with the unit that was compatible with other label making devices outside of the DYMO product line. However the scale does do the basic job sufficiently well.

I love this shipping scale. I use it all the time for my small business, and it works perfectly. I have never had a complaint from a customer or the USPS. The scale seems to be very accurate. The scale is extremely easy to use and is a great value for the money. If you are looking for a good, cheap, and easy-to-use scale, I recommend this one.

It does what it should, but I couldn't believe how easy it was to use. Once I plugged it in, it installed itself pretty fast. I opened my Stamps program and looked for a way to make it work, then I noticed a weigh button in the postage list. You click that button once you already have you item on the scale, and it quickly displays the weight, which matched what the scale said, then displayed all the shipping methods and the postage cost for each based on the weight. If you click the one you want,it will then prompt you to print the postage. It is well made, it takes two AA batteries, but also gets its power from USB when it is connected to your computer. It has a tare feature, this is used to zero the display when there is already weight on the scale. You could use it to measure things that need to go into something like a cup, or a box, like liquid or powder. Put the empty container on the scale, then press tare to zero it out, now fill it and get the weight of what is in the box. It can switch from pounds to kilograms just as easily. It has a Hold button to help you weigh things that block the display. Weigh it, push Hold, then remove the item and you have 10 seconds to see it's weight before it clears. It measure ~ 8" x 9" x 1.75"

Good scale, easy to use Good value

The scale works like a charm, accessing its usb data wasn't so easy. I spent a couple hours poking around with python (admittedly, I'm no expert), it'll have to wait for some rainy day when I'll have more time to spend on the project. Also, for people planning to use the DYMO labelling software, it works only with DYMO printers, so people with Brother label printers like me, you're out of luck!
