Only used a handful of times was like brand new. Machine now won't turn on cost as much to fix as a new machine. At their price point should last more than 10 uses on simple items. Bought a bunch of accessories that are now useless. Tell me why my older cm never had these issues

This machine has so much potential but it falls short. It is not very user friendly. I think it would help if the canvas workshop had an app for the iPad. I bought it to save me time, and so far it has cost me time and money.

Love the scan n cut!! ALMOST bought a cricut but decided to upgrade my old scan n cut for this new version! I love that it’s a stand alone machine. Computer not required. As an illustrator I can just create my own work and cut it out! I don’t need to rework anything on the computer. I love that this one can detect the thickness of the material you’re using. And it can do a half cut!! That’s why I almost bought the cricut. So glad I did more research and learned that my favourite brother brand was capable of doing a kiss cut! Love my scan n cut!! Will definitely stick with Brother!
I put off purchasing a colored laser printer because I thought they were too expensive, but when my previous printer that was less than a year old stopped working (it was not Brother brand) I was forced to buy a new printer. Lucky for me a knowledeable printer/computer person told me that Brother makes a good laser printer. This printer has the best color quality of any previous printers I have ever owned.
This machine is called the "scan & cut", and it does that fairly well, as long as the thing you want to cut has no breaks in the outer line. Unfortunately, the instructions are to make a project that has nothing to do with scanning & cutting. I find the software and the device panel not very intuitive. For example, if I want to scan an image and cut around the outside of it, I haven't yet figured out how to enlarge the cutting border so that it doesn't cut all the tiny things in the middle. I suspect to get my value out of it, I'll have to spend a weekend experimenting until I can figure out how to do what I bought it for. The other annoying thing is the cutting mats are outrageously expensive.

Mats are awful and expensive! Wished I hadn't upgraded from Model 350 due to auto cut is not accurate. First cut was with cardstock and it cut thru mat! The only things I like about this machine is the wifi capability, free software, and the scanning function. Mats loose tackiness after 5 cuts. Mats are too expensive compared to similar cutting machines.
