I bought the Maker 4 specifically of the claim that it would cut fabric. After investing in fabric mats and the rotary blade, it only shreds fabric and destroys the mat. When I called for assistance I was told it can only cut Cricut materials and cannot cut fabric. If that is the case they shouldn't be advertising that it can cut fabric. Was told it was too late to return it, I would like a refund.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

These machines are horrible. Slow. Glitchy. And did I say SLOW. Worst money I have ever spent.

Horrible experience

I’ve replaced the machine once. This one is worse than my last one. It cuts offset, doesn’t recognize tools sometimes, knife blade shreds everything, the fine blade shreds the paper and stickers. I’ve talked to techs. They are mailing me a free knife blade. Every day is a struggle. I’ve had this machine 1 month!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’re sorry to hear you’re experiencing cutting issues with your replacement machine. We understand your frustration and want to make sure you get the support you deserve. Happy to hear Member Care is taking care to send you a new Knife Blade. Please contact our Member Care team if you need anything else.
The Maker 4 is amazing in all that it can do. After using a family members Joy Extra I was hooked but wanted the ultimate. 3 weeks later I have done the following: waterproof stickers for my grandkids and friends, glass etching a candy jar, birthday card, engraved a dog tag, permanent vinyl coffee cups, iron on vinyl t-shirt, full color DTV iron on t-shirt for my grandkids. Next is wood burning, leather tooling, and wood cut outs. Possibly even cutting out fabric.

Faster load and matted cutting!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given the Maker 4 to test out and give honest feedback. I have created many projects with it over the last month and am very impressed. The increased speed is great, especially the faster load time. I really like how fast it writes with pen and how much faster it cuts matted materials (like paper!) I have cut chipboard flawlessly with it along with wood veneer (love these materials) too. The foiling comes out so pretty, I didn’t have to double the image! While it comes with materials to start you off, I suggest grabbing a pack of cardstock to really play with. I love that this machine comes with a blue mat (light grip) in the box. I would suggest picking up a green mat also (standard grip). Overall, it’s the perfect upgrade and I’m thankful to have tested it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So Fast and Very Precise Cutting!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent the Cricut Maker 4 from Cricut to try for honest feedback. I am absolutely loving it! It's super fast with cardstock and vinyls, but the same amount of time for chipboard and basswood.. My cuts are perfect every time! It's a powerhouse cutting machine and my favorite that I have used so far. I love that I am able to use everything that I have purchased for the Maker and Maker 3. The seashell color is BEAUTIFUL!
