After owning an OG Cricut from 2007-2014, I was so excited to upgrade my Cricut for Christmas this year. Wow, the experience is so different now compared to the days of layering, swapping cartridges, and scrolling through endless pages on the user manual! This new Cricut is everything the original Cricut wanted to be, but better.
I couldn't believe how fast that little cartridge zoomed through the vinyl and paper, whipping out all my decals in no time at all. It's also precise; I was able to feed it a little 2-inch by 1-inch piece of vinyl on the mat, and it cut through it like butter. And this included a few precise little details and specialty fonts, too, which impressed me.
So far I have only made some simple stickers and labels, but that's only the beginning. I have plans for decals, cards, and so many more things my brain is racing. I'm excited about the blades that cut through wood and cork, since I've only ever had a Cricut that can cut through cardstock.
All in all I'm excited to craft in 2026 with this smart little machine. Thanks, Santa!

I bought this machine after losing my Sixxiz Eclispe2 in a house fire in 2019. Since getting this machine the software to create in is okay compared to what I'm use to using but things change in 6 years 🤣.

I have had nothing but trouble connecting my machine to Bluetooth. My laptop is new. I have more than enough memory and speed. I have great internet service yet I am using a wire to connect the machine to my computer in the year 2025. As an aside, why do we not have the capability to do larger print then cuts?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Maker 4 A Big Improvement

I replaced my first generation Maker with the Maker 4. I primarily used my old machine for cutting 2mm chipboard. The new machine cuts faster and with increased pressure. I have also cut Cricut Iron On material. All my projects (so far) have been successful.

I received my Cricut Maker 4 as a gift, I’m still learning all it has to offer, but so far, I’m really impressed. It is faster than my Explore Air 2 and handles more materials. It is compatible with all the materials I have in my stash of projects and makes precise cuts and lines. I would highly recommend for anyone.

So Many Uses - Creative and Organization!

I bought this after seeing several YouTube videos showcasing what the Cricut machines could do. I went with the Maker because I wanted to be able to deboss. So far I love it!!! I am having fun doing multiple projects - all personal use - but so much fun making Thanksgiving items, cake toppers and cake stencils. Great product and I am amazed at how many things it can do! I am using it to better label many of my bins and containers but also for holiday decor. I am having a ball. YouTube videos have been great as the most difficult part is figuring out some of the software. The software isn't difficult - but some little quirks and more advanced projects take some time and experience. I am loving the "Access" subscription now since there are so MANY premade projects to customize and help new users or just give some ideas.

Love the machine, hate the new software!

I LOVE my new Cricut Make 4!! FIRE! But what the heck did you do with Cricut design space!? With the bar on the side, I have very little space to see any design. With the original bar at the top, I had more space to work with. What the heck?! You need to fire the person who messed with the software, what a fail! And I know I'm not the only one, YouTube videos all about it. Who authorized the nonsensical changes?
