I love this thing for tattoo stencils to stickers to tshirts

So far, so good

ITS SO EASY TO SETUP AND USE

UPDATE: Following up on the below-mentioned, I will continue to give this item a substandard rating. After school, I went to Walmart and bought the exact same item. As soon as I made it home, I opened the box and started to pull the pieces out. The first thing that I noticed was that there were more items in the box (unlike the first package). Secondly, the Cricut was actually wrapped in packaging and safety material. This instantly made me think that the previous owner returned the item (even after they registered it) and didnt even have the decency to return all of the original materials. Additionally, Amazon sold me a product that was marked as New but was definitely not. I will be more thorough about my new purchase from Amazon. Now, as for the machine, once I pulled it out of the packaging and fired it up, it instantly worked the way it was supposed to. It paired to my iPad instantly (where I couldnt even get to that step with the first one). My iPad even made the necessary updates. Overall, Ill give the new machine a 4-star rating, but I will give Amazon a Zero. You fooled me once. ORIGINAL: I purchased this item in September 2022 for a future school project. Today, the 10th of March 2023, I opened the package to use for my project. Upon setup, I noticed that the power button had a continuous red light. The white light, by the cutter blade, was also on. After much research and using online troubleshooting, I called tech support for Circut. I walked through the process of troubleshooting with the technician. He also inquired about what my email address was that I used to register this item. I informed him that I did not register the item (because I just opened it up today). However, I provided him with numerous email addresses that I use for private and work-related business. He then inquired when I purchased the item. After finding the exact order information on my Amazon account, he informed me that the item was registered WAY before I purchased the item. Now, since the item is not registered to me, and my 30-day return policy has passed, I am stuck with a large paperweight. I am sure the product works great. However, at this time I will warn any future buyers to register it immediately or to try another item.

Loved everything about it while I had it, used it for only 3 weeks and it died (red power button). Thank goodness it was still within return period. Ended up getting the Explore 3 instead (along with Amazon protection plan since Cricut doesnt seem to have great support for their machines). If you are using as a business its a great crafting tool. But for occasional crafters might get expensive as you have to pay for almost all the graphics and fonts in the Cricut design space unless you have a subscription.

If you’re looking for a Cricut I recommend this one! It’s amazing and so easy to use

Makes my work perfect

Machine cuts well as advertised, no complaints with the cutting. My issues are with the design space software is terrible. First the design space is completely online so no client side software which is a terrible idea. If your stuck in a snowstorm and no internet and you wanna do some stuff to keep your mind busy forget about it no internet no cricut. Also if you like millions of other use Internet Explorer forget it is not supported??? Second the writers of the software have completely dropped the ball when it comes to sizing and placement, If you have taken the time to design something in illustrator or Photoshop to specific details or size constraints and you upload your image and expect it to retain your detailed sizes ....uh nope it just uploads to whatever size it wants and does not retain any size info so you have to manually re size everything, I mean why even bother designing it to any specifications. Third Even once you resize everything and you are working with say 8.5 by 11 inch sheets and you take the time to lay out everything just right so it fits and hit make it button do you think it retains any of the layout info you just did within their software??? NOPE. gotta relay the entire thing out again. Lastly the matt is to sticky if your working with paper and want to cut somewhat small designs and think your gonna peel off paper and keep it intact from that cutting matt think again if your cutting paper forget about it by the time you peel anything off that board it is curled up and rolling up on you. Overall summary cuts good but the software needs a client side App and some serious retooling, it is very limited if you wanna make some changes to your images you have to do outside then reload. I just think the software could be a lot better, they fix those items and Id be happy with it. I havent tried the print and cut yet, Ill update once I do

Got this for my wife for Christmas and she absolutely loves it!! It is super easy to get started and she loves that you can connect your phone to it!! The machine looks great, cuts great, and has many features! The Cricut Explore Air 2 is a very high quality machine and it is very user friendly and convenient to use. Just download the Cricut Design Space app to your phone and it will get you started in no time!!

Would probably have to say that this is overpriced, but it made a great gift and the recipient is having a great time with it. Supplies are expensive but still it’s
