Carriage A is so tight that I have to shove the pen in with force and then have to work it back and forth to get it out. I have to use medium Cardstock setting to cut 65lb Cardstock, as even adding more pressure to light setting doesn’t work.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Upgraded from the original maker, after 7 years! Maker 4 is so much faster, the cuts seem cleaner. I really am glad I got the Maker 4! It’s a well designed machine.
I like how much faster the Maker 4 is. I can get more done with my time. Replaces my Maker 3 (quit connecting via USB and bluetooth). I also like that I can now use Smart materials.
Cricut Maker 4 is working very well. At first it was a little difficult to get connected and seems to only want to work if the Blue tooth is on. I prefer using the USB connection. Traditionally blue tooth did not give clear concise images. Is there any way to avoid using blue tooth on Maker 4.
I got the maker 4 because of the reviews of how much faster it was. And also for the ability to emboss and other features not available on the Explore 3. I did not find it "lightening fast" as reviews gave it. I find it a little faster. I am happy with the maker 4.
I bought this machine for my church so we could make stickers and t-shirts for VBS and other things for different groups in the church. It did such a great job. Good cuts and fast. It did not disappoint.
