Don't trust 'em
Have 3 (yes 3, am slow to give up trust) older cricut machines back to original one that came out. Company cut off support for older machines that use cartridges and even the Cricut app of the day. Leads me to believe that the company will pull the same stunt with the new app and current machines. Can't trust them as far as can throw them.

I will recommend
I will give it 5 stars but I am still having difficulties understanding it's not so easy to do projects. It takes time and focus. And to be creative.

Cricut Explore 3
Loving the machine so far, it is quieter than my previous Cricut (which had served me well for 8+ years and lots and lots of use). No issues with cutting on any of the materials I've tried so far.

Not the best product
My 4th cricut and not very happy with it. The rollers fail, it’s inconsistent in cutting. I really wish I had gone with another brand

Broken machine
Was sent a machine that never powered on. Was sent a replacement machine that can not be found via Bluetooth by any of my devices. Also the print and cut feature will not calibrate even after 22 attempts. Will never buy another Cricut.

Will never buy another Cricut product.
I received my machine on the 20th of September. I got home from work opened the box and I was ready to start making t-shirts for my business. I plugged it in and followed the very simple instructions to set up for the first time. Machine gave me an error before I could even try to connect it to my computer. Power light started blinking red. Machine looks very cheaply made. Color is ugly but there is no other option.

Old Cricket User
As someone who had the old version of cricket, I thought I could use an upgrade with the explorer 3. It was difficult to get it up and working. I had to get help from the customer service initially. But once the machine was installed it was smooth sailing. I love it so far with no further issues.

Maker3 better
I wish I would have purchased another Maker3. This machine beeps constantly and is louder than the Maker3. I thought it was supposed to be quieter. I wish I could exchange and pay the difference.

Requires more memory
I'm not sure if it's the machine or my computer but my computer freezes during a cut. My Maker doesn't have this issue.

Great product and great customer service!
Got mine in and it messed up, sent it back and they sent me a new one just a few days later. Great customer service. Haven’t had any problems since.

So awesome! Just what I wanted.
Holy cow. I knew I'd enjoy this, but didn't appreciate how much! It's SO much fun, and once the creative juices get flowing, there's no stop. I love, love, love it. I debated on which machine to get, and have no regrets with this over the Maker. I might have made a couple of things on the Maker, but I also don't think I'll miss the extra capabilities.

Does what it says, but I expected more.
It cuts stuff. I really only use it for iron on and regular vinyl varieties, and it is cool how precisely it can cut designs that are very small. I used to screen print t-shirts, but I am an amateur; the Cricut had leveled up the quality of my product immensely.
And yet, I expected more. I paid full price for the thing, never having seen one in person before. Everything is super controlled by Cricut, from the pre-made designs you can download for a price, to the prompts you have to go through when setting up a cut. I was hoping for a little more leeway for creativity’s sake.
I figured out the software pretty quickly, but it doesn’t have all the tools I find myself searching for when creating designs, which can get frustrating. The program is also slow on my MacBook … Soooo sloowwww. I cannot do anything quickly. I have troubleshooted this numerous times, to no avail. Everything from clearing old data from my hard drive to re-calibrating the machine. And yet, there are still issues with bluetooth losing connection, or just not connecting. The machine freezes sometimes, requiring a restart. Any time there is an issue in the seemingly 30-step process to cut a piece of vinyl, you have to start all over again from the canvas screen. For example, if I get to the part where I am supposed to load the vinyl into the machine, but I noticed I’m supposed to have mirroring on because it’s iron-on, I can’t just quickly hit the button and get back to it, because the software and machine can’t keep up with that quick change. It freezes. Drops the connection. I have to go back to the canvas page or just restart the cricut program on my computer. Another really frustrating one is with smart vinyl or iron-on, if the machine doesn’t pull in the vinyl at the exact right angle, it gets all crumpled up, confused, and freezes. The computer program has no idea what’s up. So you have to turn the machine on and off again and hope that it releases the vinyl upon restarting. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t and off it goes again. Then when I finally do get the vinyl out, it is mangled, I have to cut it down (or, god forbid, cut a whole new piece), and restart the stupid computer program.
It ends up taking so long to do anything, and I can’t help but wonder, in this day and age, shouldn’t the process of cutting out shapes with a machine be a little smoother? It’s clearly a complex process, but I feel like the issues I’ve had could easily be fixed if anyone paid more attention. Or is it just me? There are so many people raving about their cricut machines, sooo many videos of different crafters explaining how to use them, as well as tons of other online resources for all the crafty possibilities with these machines. I have not read ANYTHING that mentions difficulties with the machines, or that warns of the high potential for developing a migraine when using Design Space. Am I the only one questioning if this thing is really worth all the hype (and the money)??

Explore Air 3
I do not like how my mat bows up and gets stuck. I had one tear. I also don’t like the delay from when the project is finished to when the machine actually releases the mat.

Not cutting ll the way through
This machine is faster and quieter than my explore air 2, but is does not always cut through everything the first time (i.e. cardstock, laminate sheets, cut and print iron on sheets). I am using the blade that came with the machine. I have changed blades and used new mats, added more pressure, and calibrated the machine (again) checked for updates. I labored over making this purchase and I am very disappointed in its performance.

Was great till it broke
It was an 5 when it worked… Only because it broke in the first two weeks I had it does it get a one star.
Cricut was wonderful and is sending me a new one. That gives them a 5 star for customer services
