Hobby cardmaker here. I spent time trying to determine which of the many similar machines would best fit my needs; cutting images from cardstock. Fellow cardmakers had raved about this machine. I watched many and made comparisons to similar machines. I gifted it to myself for Christmas.
One of the major complaints people made was that the mats needed to be constantly replaced. When I ordered the machine I purchased it as a bundle with 6 mats and 6 blades. I am very glad that I did this as I think I have avoided a huge amount of frustration regarding the mats.
As I mentioned, I watched many videos that are available, I especially like The Papered Chef, and was able to follow the setup and begin putting my machine to use quickly. Without the help of videos my experience would have been different and frustration as the instructions provided were not clear to me. Luckily my machine has worked as expected and I have been very pleased with the fact that I can easily cut stamped images from cardstock and DSP; this has upped my card making enjoyment as not all stamp sets have coordinating dies.
There is a huge learning curve to use the machine but available videos make it easier. I would purchase it again and recommend to others
I love my Brother Scan n Cut, but I do not love the mats. They don’t last very long and they are EXTREMELY expensive.

I was very disappointed in it's performance. I couldn't get it to cut cleanly, even after numerous adjustments. The autoblade feature is rather useless if you have to always adjust the pressure and cutting depth on standard cardstock. On the plus side, it's very quiet and the wireless feature is useful.

I really like this machine, there is a lot that it can do, however the manual isn't great. There are many, many, many tutorials online thankfully. I use it for card making. Unfortunately in Canada there is no telephone support which is very frustrating. There are 2 different Canvas Workspace programs which interface with the SDX 125 and one is shown on tutorials. So if you load the other, it looks totally different, so it is very confusing in my opinion.
have have for 5 yrs now with no issues, mainly used for vinyl graphics and HTV tshirt transfers , great machine, wish they made a vinyl printer to do multi color decals.
