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 cuts but the learning curve is lengthy. I bought this machine to cut my product labels but it doesn’t properly cut a full page. The cuts are a little off and wastes paper and money during the learning curve. It also doesn’t let you print the entire page only 6x9 of paper. So it wastes paper and sticker paper especially waterproof sticker paper isn’t that cheap but overall it’s just a waste of paper. I haven’t used it in months because I can’t afford for it to keep wasting my paper and time. I really want it to be of use to me though, so I guess I’ll give it another try.

It’s everything I thought it would be.

I was obsessed with my Cricut! It was so helpful for personalizing items and making them look neat and pretty! Unfortunately, the power button lit up red less than a month after having/using it which is something that apparently happens sometimes and means that there is nothing you can do to fix it according to the Cricut helpline. Thankfully the helpline was great and they are providing me with a replacement with no hassle. A true bummer but I look forward to having one again and hope this one lasts more than a month.

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

My wife loves this thing and for that reason so did I. Seeing the pure joy in her eyes was rivaled only by things like our wedding day and our childrens births. As time has gone by though Im beginning to suspect that she loves it more than she loves me. She spends all her time with it and when shes not using it shes talking about it. Shes taken to snuggling it in bed and when I came home from work the other day it was sitting in my chair at the dinner table. My children call it Daddy. I was getting tired of it and tried to confront it but my dog started snarling at me. Its too late for me but youve been warned: this machine is a homewrecker.
