28 passes and 23 hours to cut something small on THEIR brand of chipboard and basswood. No thank you. I should've gotten the Explore.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought it mainly because I wanted to be able to cut balsa wood with it and I have not been able to make anything out of wood with it.

An impressive upgrade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been playing with my Maker 4 for over a month now and it's definitely an improvement over the Maker 3. It is so much faster to measure materials and cut them! The amount of time I've already saved is impressive. I've done several side-by-side tests with the Maker 3 cutting cardstock and the cuts are faster and often cleaner which saves time not only in the cutting but the manual weeding afterward. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new machine.
I am a brand new Cricut "user" and find the tutorials both from sponsored Cricut products as well as other well crafted Cricut information very useful. Having these tools has already increased my knowledge which in turn has produced some nice products. I find the set up and use of the machine a breeze!
