Great machine. We have created many shirts and decals since owning. One thing I was a little disappointed in is the difficulty to layer different colors for shirts. It is not simple by any means. Lots of YouTube watching! Never-the-less, the machines capability is pretty far and wide and if you have the patience to learn a skill it can be very cool to use. The key to remember is that you will definitely have a learning curve. Don't get frustrated stick with it and you will be happy.

Xmas present for BFF!!! She gave a hint she wanted it!!! Her response when she open it was priceless. Its 2 months later and she has been on the machine damn near every evening and late night making all kinds of stuff. I must say; pretty good stuff too.

My wife loves it so no complaints about the hardware. My only issue is that it doesn't seem to support any open source software solutions other than Cricut's proprietary software. Cricut seems to make most of their money on accessories and a premium subscription on the software features.

I love this product. All the negative reviews are just plain wrong, the only reason you would have to pay 10 dollars is if you wanted every single font and other exclusive features.

I really needed an upgrade since my first Cricut is the original. I'm glad I chose this one. I am using it and loving it. However, I wish Design Space was an easier app to use. I am struggling with it. I am computer savvy, but Design Space just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Wife really enjoys it. We tried using a early hand-me-down that required cartridges, but that's too expensive/limited. Now my wife can make anything she can imagine. She was very happy to find software that turns raster images (jpg. gif, png) into svg files, so any picture she finds on the internet can be put into a project.

Got this for my niece. I knew absolutely nothing about how this worked or anything. Relied on the reviews and a few things she had told me. Well I’m the best!! She absolutely loves it and uses it all the time.

I love crafting, and I'm not afraid to admit it. This machine has really allowed me to create more professional-looking DIYs for gifts and around my home and I absolutely love it. It's easy to use if you're somewhat computer savvy and it's a nice enough looking gadget that I don't mind having it out on a table in my craft area.

Cricut just announced that they are now going to charge a $10 a month subscription fee. You get 20 free downloads a month. The ones that you screw up count towards the 20, and believe me, the lousy Design Space program screws up more than not. Not easy to use, hard to learn, screws stuff up, and now they announce a subscription paywall. Skip this machine.

I love my cricut explore air 2. I am a teacher and I think this is a tool every teacher should have! There Definetly is a learning curve with it but with some practice it is very simple to use. I did purchase the $10 a month subscription plan so I have access to loads of projects abs images. I am not very good at drawing so I thought I’m better off paying the 10 and using other people’s drawings.
