Customer Reviews for Cricut - Joy Xtra Smart Cutting Machine - White

It's okay. I do not like that it does not have a scoring blade. It is very disappointing!
I have the makers. As well as the joy and now the joy xtra. I expected for this to help me do my small jobs without having to work on the maker. It's expensive and just okay.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Make sure you have several mats on hand...
on June 5, 2024
Posted by: Monica L
Cute little machine and can do a lot of things, however, cutting "smart" materials without a mat is not one of them. I was so excited to go matless with this little guy and bought so many smart rolls of vinyl to go with it. Sadly, every project I've tried to do with the smart materials has gone in the trash. It starts off great but then the material slides around and screws up the cut.
Now, for the mats... this machine is a mat destroyer. I don't like the way it pulls the mat in. It's usually uneven the first couple of tries and so I have to unload and load again. Every. Single. Time. I don't think I've successfully loaded a mat on the first try more than 5 times since I got the machine in December. My mats are only lasting a couple of weeks before having to replace them due to being dog eared from the way they are pulled in by the machine.
Fix these issues and I would be in heaven.

Perfect compact machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given the Joy Xtra to test and give feedback. I will say that it has become my favorite for my stickers, and so much more. This compact little machine cuts smoothly and the settings are perfect in it. I make a lot of sticker, and this machine doesn't disappoint! The print then cut feature is perfect. I've done countless other cuts with it too. I've made shadowboxes, insert cards, cut vinyl, iron-on projects, and used all the pens in it. It preformed really great. I love the 8.5" x 12" sized mats and that it uses smart materials too!
It's not a very loud machine, and weighing in at 6lbs, it's perfect for travel. It really can make all the popular projects that any hobbiest would want.

I am appalled!

from San Diego, CA
Let me begin by saying I love my Cricut machines. I have or have had nearly all of them. I had the original Joy machine and when this one came out I was so excited that it could cut a letter sized cardstock paper. I am appalled at the fact that when my machine arrived, there is no carrier mat. I don’t believe it. It is shameful, that with a new machine arriving to my doorstep I am not able to use it as I need right out of the box. With all of my machines I have bought we have always been given at least one mat. Not with this one! Buyer beware! You will need to source your own mat, and with this machine being so new, mats at this point in time are scarce to say the least. I am disappointed in Cricut.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

An amazing machine that can bring you "xtra joy!"

The size is compact, making it easy to fit into tight spaces while still being convenient for letter-size projects. It's perfect for anyone who needs to work with standard documents without sacrificing too much room. The device is incredibly user-friendly and versatile, capable of handling a variety of materials such as stickers, vinyls, and iron-on transfers. However, one minor drawback is that the Bluetooth connection can occasionally drop, requiring a quick re-connection. Overall, it's a great addition for creative projects!

Love the new size!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect size for the Joy...with the ability to print-then-cut, use 8.5"x11" paper and it uses all the same Joy accessories...win, win, win! The size & print-then-cut feature are the main differences between the Joy Xtra and original Joy machine. And, while it is slightly larger, it is still light and portable! This is a perfect machine for new-to-Cricut users, those with small spaces, or even tweens and teens wanting to start in the Cricut world!
And, while I received the product from Cricut to test ahead of time and for my feedback, I am happy to report that it exceeds all expectations. The Joy Xtra is perfect for the home or on-the-go crafter.

What an cute machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that they made the new Cricut Joy Xtra. I always found my Cricut Joy the easiest machine to use and I love that it is compact and easy to travel with, but the size of the projects I could made with it was restricted. I love that they came out with the Xtra! It's just a tad bigger than the Joy but just as compact and easy to travel with! I love that I have the same convenience of the Joy, but I can also make bigger projects for shirts, totes, etc. The best part is that it has Print then Cut features! What an awesome new addition to the Cricut family!
I would recommend this to a friend!
