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

To use the Cricut you need to either create or upload designs in their software, Design Space. They have a subscription to Design Space available where they give you access to images and fully designed projects for about $10 a month. Otherwise you can create/buy designs on your own and upload them into Design Space to cut out. For a couple of days the company notified customers that there would be a new policy moving forward where uploads into Design Space would be limited to 20 a month unless a user subscribed. There was customer uproar as these were not the terms we agreed to when we purchased the machines. Cricut has now reversed this policy so I am updating my review. Ive had my machine for a few years now. I think its pretty fun. We used it a lot for our wedding: to address our invitations, make jacket envelopes, seat reserved signs and other decorations. Ive used it to make a small box divided into 12 slots to hold my pens. Right now Im using it to make decorative screens for the bottom of our upstairs window to add just a little privacy. Design Space, the software, bugs out really easy and isnt designed well. Im trained in Illustrator and Affinity Designer so I use those to create my designs. It can take longer to cut something out and then weed it all off the mat than I realize, and Ive had some designs tear due to either a dull knife or being too intricate. Its not perfect but it sparks creativity and is a bit like a grown up toy.

I ordered it and at first I was struggling to use it but it’s a really great machine , I think I just need to know more about it , but it’s easy to connect with your devices and actually the package come with everything inside .

I can honestly say this is one of the best things I’ve ever purchased. I love the cricut so much and everything it has to offer. You can do so much with just a few add on items that you do have to buy but it is so worth it.

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.

The cricut looks new box well but am getting no Bluetooth on this cricut.I the review from amazon they said it was Bluetooth thats why i brought this ,,but I Just spend 4 hours trying to Connecticut Bluetooth on phone or Laptop.wont Connecticut to safe a life ...If yall telling me this is cricut air 2 and am not getting Bluetooth to connect How can this device be cricut air 2....No Bluetooth......But I hook it up USB to my laptop took me a while to find a free software cricut design space.And i must say This cricut is a Amazing ...Still waiting on my shipping company for my Accessories But i give this a 4 n a half Stars only because no Bluetooth

Bought this for my partner as a gift, and have gotten way more than my moneys worth! Definitely would suggest for any crafter.

Absolutely love the options this cricut gives vs the cricut joy I also have. The only problem I’ve been having is getting the Bluetooth to connect to my computer. Other then that, works great!

Excelente fácil de usar

I bought this machine to do paper crafts for my child. I have enjoyed making other crafts for myself with it. It is well built and relatively easy to use. If you are concerned about the noise it makes, it is not too noisy during operation. The biggest disadvantage I have found since I started using this machine is the Cricut Design Space. Quite frankly, if I were the owner of the company I would dismiss everyone in the IT department. I spend more time waiting and recreating items than I do cutting and weeding. The service is unreliable. Personally, if I have a project with a deadline I try to start it days in advance. Frustration caused by the unreliability fo Design Space for the past 8 hours prompted me to write this review. I dont know why their software couldnt be designed so users do not have to rely on their shoddy Design Space. I was contemplating upgrading to the Cricut Maker but I would be even more peeved to spend so much money and end up wasting my time the way I have been with only the Explorer Air 2. I pray someone from Cricut who cares about the reputation of their company as much as generating sales while providing customers with a reliable design space service reads this and does something because I am not the first person to complain about this. They need to do something.

Se me dañó rápido, no duró un año
