I absolutely love this machine, and I still haven’t used all of the functions it has!! it cuts fast, and I haven’t had trouble with the cuts at all since I’ve had it. Looking forward to using more functions and expanding my crafting.
LOVE this machine!!! I have been using Cricut since the cartridge days. All of my machines have been GREAT. I love the speed of this one, however. It is so much faster than any of the other ones I've used. The Maker 4 replaces my Maker which still works but not nearly as fast. Its hard to use two machines at one time the Maker 4 going.
I have had a Maker for a few years, I totally loved it. Recently a friend had some serious health issues and became depressed. I started having a Cricut date with her once a week. She fell in love and I sent my Maker home with her to keep her busy. Enter the Maker 4, it is much quieter and faster. Cuts are so easy!
I have a joy-xtra that I really love. I just got the Maker 4 and it is a step up.. I will still use the smaller Xtra but, I can now cut larger items and the score and debossing abilities are fun to play with.
I was gifted a used Explore One to try out and got absolutely hooked to all the things I could make with it. However I wanted to work with longer and thicker materials, so I decided to take the plunge and get the Maker 4. I'm so excited for all the possibilities of projects that I can do. I've already actually made a few small projects for friends & family as well, so it's gotten a decent amount of use. I had been wanting a Cricut for over 10 years since I also scrapbook, but couldn't really justify the cost - but I wish I had bought one so much sooner. Fussy cutting is such a waste of time when you can get it done professionally in like 2 minutes. Not to mention ALL THE MATERIALS!!!! I recently tried out the pen feature and am considering using it to address all my holiday card envelopes!
