    The package is bad. It is not newly used. I was very disappointed and upset.

    Got this as a present, and it was immediately put to use in the crafts center! The initial instructions weren’t the best, but once you download the mobile app everything almost just works. It’s a bit creepy that they make you pay for some basic fonts and shapes, and also the fact it needs to be connected to the cloud to work, but for the cost, this thing is a bargain!

    I have always wanted a cricuit and finally bought myself one for my birthday. I was nervous that it would be hard to learn, but it was not, and I have been having so much fun making decals. I am looking forward to learning to make more things. It really has limitless possibilities.

    If you have any interest in arts and crafts, this is the machine for you! Ive only had my machine for a few short days, but Ive already made my first few projects and know that Ill be making them with very little in the way of training. The first project is laid out with simple online instructions and took only a few minutes to complete. Once you see how easy it is to make that project, youll be amazed at just how impressive the results can be. More importantly, youll be given a tour of the entire process, from setting up the machine to installing the software with easy instructions and with videos directly from YouTube. There is absolutely nothing difficult about taking this machine out and beginning to use it for whatever crafting projects you have in mind. I myself got the bug from having spent a few days watching a friend working from his shop where he creates all sorts of items that this machine creates with ease, from vinyl signs, Decals made from vinyl or Sticker paper, custom business cards or Birthday cards, anything you can come up with in a print shop can be made from your own home and at a fraction of the price of one made in a professional shop. Honestly, this machine can replace your needs for any local shop, unless the dimensions are your main concern, and even in most of those cases, you can still make your own vinyl signs and decals, youll simply have to limit the size to the available dimensions of the machine, or youll need to paste together larger pieces on your own. This simply means that instead of having a two foot tall logo thats ten foot long, you would need to make one foot tall segments that can be two foot long each, and simply line them up to create your own sign. Most shops that advertise with vinyl signs dont use letters larger than one square foot anyway, so youd just be making each square as an individual letter and then line them up yourself, instead of stretching one long strip to make your sign. The work isnt significantly different, so why pay multiples of the price of this machine for one sign, when you can buy the machine and make all the signs you want from that point forward? Then when you consider that this machine can work in tons of different materials, ranging from paper to vinyl, leather to copper, there really arent many limits to what you can make with this machine. With a little time and some minimal effort, youll be making arts and crafts projects that you can give to your friends and family, and sell at any yard sale or flea market within days of arriving at your house. The best part of all is that this machine is tiny. Its footprint is so small that I have mine setup on a tiny table that was no longer needed in my living room. I simply placed a towel over the table to prevent it from being scratched, and I was set. Im just now learning how to make more creative designs like custom boxes and bows, but with no time Ill be making those with ease. My only advice is that if you decide to buy one of these amazing machines, make sure you get everything youll need to explore your own creativity. Make sure to buy all the add-ons, things like the deep cut blade, the paper crafting tools, the basic crafting tools and the scoring stylus and a set of the color pens for your own messages. From there, buy some quality paper card stock, Oracal 651 vinyl in all the best colors for simple designs or for more intricate designs, making sure to buy all the popular colors such as your primary colors, but also metallic colors such as gold or chrome, get lots of black and white as youll be using those the most, and without fail, but transfer tape, lots of transfer tape, because having yard after yard of vinyl will do you no good if you cant actually place it on something, so transfer tape is equally important to your needs. Buy more transfer tape/paper than vinyl, because youll almost always need transfer tape that hangs over the edges of your vinyl cutouts so that you can layer different colors or have the vinyl decal hold in place so that you can align it to whatever your placing it on. Buy a good exacto blade knife, your going to be using it constantly if you decide vinyl crafting is for you. Id recommend you purchase a good cutting device, whether that be a guillotine style cutter or rotary cutter, make sure you buy one large enough for your vinyl or paper needs, so it will need to be at least one foot wide and long enough to cut lengths of a foot accurately. Some of those cutters dont come with a space long enough to cut squares of one foot so make sure you chose one with either an extension that will let you measure one square foot, or youll be guessing beyond the length of the cutting device itself, or youll need to mark the vinyl somehow and that will end up just eating up your time. From that point, you can decide if you need specialty materials, things like faux leather, copper foil thats normally found in rolls but also comes in sheets for use with the scoring tool to make beautiful embossed pieces, heat transfer vinyl that comes in several glittery colors or regular colors for making iron on designs that can go on everything from pants or shirts, to caps or other clothing items. They offer magnetic sheets that you can use to make magnetic business cards or decals, printable sticker paper, heat transfer jewels (bedazzle style gemstones), or any other material you wouldnt imagine needing but will find out once youve installed the software on your pc or phone, and are able to browse the online design shop. Whether your just an everyday tinkerer that needs something to fill your time, or you want to create your own small business out of your living room, this machine is well worth your time and money! Best of all, you dont have to take my word for it, just go on YouTube and research Cricut projects and youll get a sampling of exactly what youll be able to make with this amazing machine!

    Good for cutting stickers. Not a fan of how much wasted space is used for the guidelines, but it’s necessary. Cutting sound isn’t too much a problem. Inconvenient that you have to place the mat and cut sheets individually but expected. Peeling stickers from the mat can be a hassle but expected. A little big for my preferences (around the same length as my printer) but not too big a problem.
