I honestly can't give it a 5-star rating... not because it doesn't deserve it, but because I am new to the Cricut world and don't know enough about it, so I don't feel I can give a 5-star until I am more familiar with the products. However, so far my new Cricut Maker seems to be a very good product, though I'm having just a little bit of trouble with calibration (again, possibly because of my limited knowledge). But it seems to cut well and do the job it's supposed to do. It has several nice features. I like the nice hydraulic smoothness when it opens, and the bottom opens automatically when you open the top cover. It has some nice storage room for your tools, too. It doesn't take up too much space and is lightweight enough to move around quite easily. I am enjoying learning how to use it. I am pleased with it so far! Read full review

Way more wear & tear than typical for a new open-box display unit in my experience. I would have assumed a display model was not "used" but this machine appears to have been used quite a bit. Surfaced scratched and scraped on front and back exterior. Making aweful noise on startup and full of lint and wear on the inside...even more than my well used Cricut Explorer.

The cricut is an awesome cutting machine. Its easy to learn and has all the software available to download that is needed to get started. Its basically "plug and play". There are lots of projects available free through Cricut or at a reasonable cost or you can make your own.There are many other sites where projects are available, some at a nominal fee and others free. If you like to do crafting this is the machine you need.

AwesomeSAUCE: Have you everrrrrrrrrrrrr thought of something "Arts/Craftsy" you wanted to make but thought oooh bummers nah I'm good because of the amount of effort of finding all the right tools (Paper/Vinyl/Plastic, Glue, Yarn, Threat....etc). Yeah, that was me I waited planned for 3 years because added to that list is TIME. You can't rush your inner creative thinking or it will be a HOT MESS. Well, now I have mine and with the new Cricut Maker version (God is so Good) be patient and you will receive. I have a whole earring collection now with my Cricut. My goal was to wear a different pair every day. The holidays are now upon us, Halloween was so much fun with vinyl porch cut outs of crazy led lit pumpkin faces, giant black spiders made of felt and foam balls with pipe cleaner creepy crawly legs and that beautiful hex pattern web made out of yarn. Yes, that's my Cricut Maker, my creative imagination small snap shot for you. You can just imagine Thanksgiving and well, I will be blowing it out the box this year. Hey if you know of me check that mailbox for one of my NOW specialty Christmas cards. If you get a Cricut you will not regret it not even the price.Read full review

Brand new in the box -- Very pleased! Got it up and working (including getting a special "TP Link" for my desktop becauseit doesn't have Bluetooth -- my laptop does -- gut I prefer my desktop "big girl" computer.) My only complaint about the Cricut itself is that I'm going to have to start printing my own money for all the supplies I want!!! LOL

Machine does most of what it's designed to do. Design Space is nearly useless. I have been using graphic design software since BEFORE Windows, and I've used every popular program and many others, so I know what I'm talking about. Design spaces uses almost none of the conventions of graphic software. And they change how they things work from time to time, so once I learn a process, the next update changes how it works. Plus, even though Design Space is theoretically installed on my PC, it also had to link into the Cricut home page every time it comes up, a totally unnecessary waste of time. And often it needs to update AGAIN, wasting several more minutes and likely breaking something that worked before. Not a fan. That said, if you're a longtime Cricut user and don't mind paying for a of other people's cutesy designs, you'll find it more useful than a Silhouette Cameo 4.Read full review
