Best cutting machine out there.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in Exchange for my honest opinion of the product. When they say ready to use right out of the box. It literally can and was used within a few minutes after opening it. It comes with all the tools and equipment you need to get started. While you can use a computer and be connected to the internet it isn’t necessary to be able to use it. As a matter of fact in the past few weeks of using it, I’ve only connected it to my laptop once. It has so many patterns already installed that can be used for tons of crafting projects.
I will say my ultimate favorite thing about the scanNcut is it sure has slashed my fabric cutting time in half if not more. Now I can just scan sewing patterns and have the machine cut the fabric in just a couple minutes. I can cut the same pattern multiple times to make a lot of the same project.
Within just the first week of using it I used it for many projects from sewing to bullet journal. I use my ScanNCut to scan my own art, stamp images, magazine pages, and just about anything with an image on it to make unique patterns or just to cut them out to use for scrap-booking or bullet journaling. I’ve used many of the cutting machines on the market and hands down this is the best one. It’s the easiest to set up and use straight-away without the need for a device, programs, or internet.
Pros:
-Precise cuts and drawing
-The touch screen is easy to navigate and use.
-It can scan pretty much everything
-It’s really quiet
-Preinstalled patterns are wonderful
-Can cut most crafting materials up to 3mm
-You don’t need a computer or be online to operate it
-Storage is built in and holds all the accessories minus mats
-Comes with extra CanvasWorkspace collections
Cons:
-It requires a big work space
-You can only get addition or replacement accessories online (in my area)

love it and works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I was excited to get this and it was GREAT! It is a quality product. It came with tools to help you "weed" the project off the mat. I read all the instructions that came with it and the tips etc. I went thru the steps they gave you to try a project and it worked great the box turned out well. I then tried some cutouts and drawing even adding 2 of the pictures they give you into one {first pic is the image being drawn and second pic and third pic is a cutout} I got some adhesive vinyl and I made some gaming stickers for my son {fourth pic} The 5th and 6th pictures were gaming characters my son is going to use markers and color in and then cut them out later. It was so much fun. It worked very well and I had no problems with it at all. It comes with a bonus of 3 collections of projects. They are perfect to make. The software is canvas workspace and it is very easy to use. It has over 680 projects for free. We even used our own artwork and that worked well too just had to add the image to software. I cant wait to do more projects this is a wonderful product. I highly recommend this product. I just started and there are so many more things you can do.
I would recommend this to a friend!

No in-depth instruction booklet came with this machine. Have used you tube for instructions. Can be frustrating.

It's okay, but I'm disappointed
on July 24, 2023
Posted by: nb47

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.

Love my scan n cut!!!
on August 27, 2023
Posted by: Red Cardinal Crafts
from Vancouver, BC Canada
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!

Complicated
on June 18, 2024
Posted by: Glcraycraft
I sent my unit back. I found it complicated to set up. I didn’t understand why there are two apps to use it. It couldn’t be used on windows so I couldn’t set it up on my laptop. It had to be setup on my iPad or phone. . It could have just been me but it seemed too complicated compared to the cricut.

Great product for crafts!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother to give a honest review in exchange for Brother Scan and Cut machine.
I absolutely love my new Brother Scan and Cut Machine in Aqua. It is great for beginner crafters and experts. The Scan and Cut was very easy to set up. I love the touch screen or I can use the stylus that came with it as well as a spatula. I was able to create a quick project that came with it and it was so much fun to do.
The Scan and Cut also comes with the blade,pen and hundreds of predesigned fonts and creative designs. I can use it to make my own cards, design shirts, coaster and so many other things. What I really like, I don't have to change the blade to cut through different things such as paper, styrofoam and even leather!
This is going to be so great for making my own unique gifts and us made by a trusted brand by Brother. Overall, I absolutely love it.

Great Brand, Great Product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest review! I have always wanted to try and make some of the vinyl decorated products that I’ve seen so many people making! I was super excited to receive the Brother Scan N Cut. The difference between this product and others is that you’re able to scan your own art and cut/draw it. This is quite possibly my favorite part because it allows you to make everything a little more personalized. For my first project I made my kids names. It was easy to do with the little touch screen display and it took no more than 3 minutes to make. I chose a different font for each of their names which I thought was super fun! I was also able to save this design to the product itself to use later, love that! I would say the only two things that I didn’t love is that it’s a little louder than I anticipated (no louder than a printer) and that the accessories are more expensive than competitor brands. Overall, I would say it is better quality than most competitors and I have thoroughly enjoyed learning how to use it! I would certainly recommend to anyone who loves to scrap book, make their own cards, or would like to make vinyl projects like myself! Can’t wait to share my projects with all my friends and family!
I would recommend this to a friend!
