I love how fast the machine, coming from the first Air machine. I don’t like that there isn’t an On and Off button, so I’m having to unplug the unit after every use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

HORRIIBLE DO NOT BUYYY!!! i ignored the reviews and turned out its actually a piece of cr@p.
the sensor is completely useless and just flys crazy over the mat completely wasting vinyl. its a total waste of money 400 down the drain. i probably wont even be able to return it either since all the packaging is destroyed.

I have had difficulty getting to design space, because my machine wasn’t listed and several other issues.

Great new product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Cricut Explore 5 and it’s such a solid everyday machine. It cuts vinyl, iron-on, cardstock, and stickers really clean and fast.
It’s full-size but doesn’t feel bulky, and it’s super easy to use for everything from quick projects to batching.
If you want one machine that can do a little bit of everything without overcomplicating it, this is a great go-to.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this machine just to compare it to all my others. I was blown away by its speed and how fast it reads registration marks for print then cut. I also love the new size and shape. Well done Cricut!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had mine for about a month and love it. Should have gotten sooner. Only wish I had gone for the higher end model.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Liking the new Cricut Explore 5
on March 11, 2026

from Montreal, QC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice update to an already great Explore cutting machine. Love the compact size and lighter weight, I’ve had good results with print then cut and precise basic cutting with a variety of materials. Specially like the 2x card mat, practical if you only need 1 or 2 cards. Super handy that you can use your existing Joy pens/markers in addition to the new Universal Pens/Markers.
I would recommend this to a friend!
