I make dog bandanas for my Etsy shop and this machine has allowed me to start creating custom designs and products for my customers, which has increased my sales quite a bit. I also love that I can make custom gifts for my friends and family, which they love so much. It's a very intuitive machine that is easy to use. I love that it also has storage for the Cricut tools and that it came with basic supplies as well as a much-needed tutorial on how to use it. Love this machine!

The Cricut machine has changed the way I look at personalized crafts! When in boutique shops or walking through the home goods section of stores, I am now always finding myself thinking, "oh, I can make that myself with my Cricut." I am an IT professional so technology comes easy to me, but I think this machine is so straight forward and simple that anyone can learn to use it. It becomes a hobby, and as odd as it may sound, I find it relaxing to make projects with this. I love how accurate the cutting is on the machine. Although, small designs can cause the needle to snag the material, it is able to cut pretty intricate designs. I have already been recommending the Cricut to family and friends, and will continue to do so. The more I make with the Circut, the more I love it. It's great for iron-on transfers as well! My whole family is always impressed with the results of the projects made with this.

I cannot even begin to tell you how thrilled I am with this product. 20 minutes out of the box and I had a paper based project finished. A week later 20 cardstock projects done and a few wall vinyls. I'm now cranking out high quality tshirts 2 weeks into ownership. I still haven't used it for its intended purpose (original stickers) but I'm having a blast. Beware though, you will obsessively create beautiful objects, spend money on accessories quite freely and willingly, and smile more often. Thank you Amazon for delivering this amazing product to me.

Best investment I ever made. I love this machine. Between this and the heat press, I feel like it’s Christmas every day. I love the combination of them both. I will never buy another graphic tee for my kids. With this and the heat press, I can make their tees. I make their birthday shirts and all. This saved me money despite I have to buy T-shirts and vinyl but I don’t have to repeatedly go buy it when they need a tee to wear.

If like me you have been looking at the Cricut machines for a long time, to borrow a line from Nike : Just Do It!". I have been seesawing back and forth trying to justify purchasing this for myself. I finally ordered it! I wish now I had not waited so long. The picture above was my first craft with my new machine. I am already working on a gift for a birthday. I was afraid that I would not use it enough to justify the purchase. I have 3 projects I am planned already. I am still learning but is alot of online help out there.

This cutting machine is amazing. All i can say is watch all the YouTube videos you can to learn what all it can do & get very well acquainted with the Cricut Design Space. The possibilities are endless. Just don't get frustrated if you've never used anything Cricut before like me, it'll get easier w/ practice..

This is by far my favorite purchase of the last year. I bought it to DIY wedding details. So far, I’ve made hangers, bridesmaid bags, groomsmen cozies, table numbers, tags, addresses envelopes, personalized wallets, personalized wine tumblers, and more! It is by far one of the best purchases I’ve ever made as an avid DIYer. I can’t say enough good things about this product. I’ve had a few hiccups along the way, mostly due to sub-par vinyl, but overall, it’s made my projects easier, quicker, and much more attractive. For anyone planning a wedding, it’s basically a must-have. I would recommend the Cricut heat press if you are using heat-transfer vinyl. I had trouble with my iron, but it was certainly cut beautifully!

The Explore Air 2 is a good middle of the road model if you're looking to try the cricut. It does most of the projects that the maker does with the exception of having more options when it comes to cutting fabric materials. It comes with a black pen, wires, and light mat. No complaints so far. It paired with my iPad within seconds. Set up took about a half hour. NOTE: I saw some reviews say they received a 'used' machine. I did not. Everything came sealed with plastic on it. So it was definitely brand new. Purchased from amazon.

I received this for my Christmas gift. I love how many projects can be done with this one machine. I am still very new to the Cricut family but I am hooked! I do wish, however, that it was easier to find and use some features for the Cricut. But this is not really a draw back if you are able to find and use the programs on your computer. I watch videos on YOUTUBE to learn how to use it and it is very helpful. I am in a few groups on Facebook that help you with questions and things about your machine.... I'll definately be using this machine for years to come in my crafts!

I have already enjoyed crafting several items straight out of the box the downloadable ebook was very handy and I have enjoyed every minute of this cricket and I look forward to many more hours of crafting for my family and my hopefully other crafting enjoyment
