Cricut Explore Air 2 - A DIY Cutting Machine for all Crafts, Create Customized Cards, Home Decor & More, Bluetooth Connectivity, Compatible with iOS, Android, Windows & Mac, Mint

It’s a great product but nearly everything you do costs extra money on top of this pricey machine. They suggest you get a subscription…I try to download images from the internet and use that what but it takes much longer. Otherwise, it’s as advertised

She is good with it so I am good.

Love is a strong word... but I love my Cricut! At first when I bought this machine, I thought, Im really not all that crafty and I probably wont ever use this machine and itll collect dust just like all the big dollar items Ive purchased over the years BUT little did I know that Id start cutting vinyl and end up making a business out of it!!! I now have a steady flow of customers that buy from me on Etsy and eBay daily! Im definitely more creative than I thought I was and I actually love sitting down to design decals and cut them out with my Cricut Explorer Air 2! Even though Ive only mentioned vinyl, this machine does SO SO SO much more. I believe it cuts 100 different types of materials including vinyl but Ive had so much fun cutting vinyl decals that Ive yet to explore any of the other projects that you can make with this little work horse! So far, Im still using the original blade that it came with (fine point) and it cuts like a dream! If youre curious about this machine and would like to hear more about what all it does, go to QVC or HSN on YouTube and watch the sales videos. Thats how I first heard about it. It really does give you a good idea of what you can do with it. I recently made two heat transfer vinyl shirts with this machine as well and I get compliments on the shirts all the time! I now have a new hobby to this little work horse! Thanks Amazon for selling it to me at such a low price on Amazon Prime Day!!! Thanks Cricut for making such a wonderful product, and thank you for allowing Cricut users to use your design software FREE without having to purchase a separate license to use your Design Software!

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

Wife likes this a lot better than cameo, and this is so much quieter! Cameo is silly loud. Just wish this came with transfer paper. She wasnt able to complete her first project because there was not transfer paper included.

It’s everything I thought it would be.

So far, I think this is an okay product, You have to use their software online. It also downloads something to your computer that runs on startup which connects to the online program. I dont like programs that run on startup or that connect to an outside company. Can you say potential for hacking? It also slows down my computer when I start it. So minus one star for this. My computer is running Windows 8 and did not automatically load the drivers for the cutter. The website does tell you how to do it, however, I can see this will be a problem for the technically challenged because it requires you to access the device manager and browse for the driver. The software is fairly easy to use. I just uploaded some images, printed and cut them. They were mostly clean images that I cleaned up in another program, but cleaning the image on Cricut seems easy as well. It lets you print on your printer then cut. I dont like that there is a lot of wasted space on my paper. I dont know if I can change the margins on this, but for a cutter that will cut on 12x12 paper, it should not only cut a 9x6 area on my 8.5x11 cardstock. It does need to print a black frame around the cut area to allow the cutter to find the right lines. My printer will print with .2 inch margins or less. The first thing I cut was on 110 lb cardstock from Neenah paper. It doesnt feel heavy as light chipboard. It cut great with the regular cutter. I bought the tool set and found the spatula is useless on the cardstock, it just rips it. My fingernails worked better. The standard sticky mat holds very well, at least when new. So anything lighter may be hard to remove. I would recommend the lighter grip mat for anything thinner than cardstock. I will update as I try other papers. I bought this and 4 days later they dropped the price by $13. This really annoys me and lowers the rating by a star. Amazon no longer matches the price for products it sells. This was not sold by a third party, which I could understand, since Amazon would not have control over the deal There should be a time limit on these things, since it wasnt a sale price, just a dropped price. I totally get not matching lightening deals.

Having a blast using ours. We made graduation card for my niece, tee-shirt for a company bbq and decals for the cars. Having fun.

best investment that I ever done. A mi me encanta hacer manualidades y siempre he vendido algunas de ellas. Cuando deicidi comprar la Cricut no sabía realmente mucho de la máquina, pero me arriesgué y creo que es la mejor de todas. Una de mis amigas tiene una Brother y la verdad no es tan pulida como la Cricut, ni tan rápida. Además los mats de la Cricut son mucho mejores y las herramientas que vende Cricut son también lo mejor. La Cricut air 2 no es la más profesional de la marca, hay una más sofisticada, pero vale mucho más. Yo decidí comenzar por esta y otra amiga por la más sofisticada. Ha sido una buena decisión porque la Cricut air 2 es más fácil de manejar que la profesional, me ha gustado mucho más y mi amiga no ha disfrutado tanto la profesional porque es más compleja. La única diferencia que he sentido es que no corta 2mm pero en realidad no lo he intentado bien, porque me da susto jajaja. Espero que les sirva mi comentario. Ah lo olvidaba, también me ha encantado la interfaz de Cricut, es fácil de aprender y tiene muchas opciones para hacer proyectos gratuitos.

I’m so excited to use this I’m just in love with it already and I haven’t even used it yet
