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

I really wanted to like this product, but it has issues. It's tricky to get the mat to load correctly and it bends the corners that you have to trim off. I wanted to do alot of stickers on the Xtra but it doesn't cut them good. I have calibrated the machine twice, but it still cuts off. I have tried using the Joy smart paper sticker cardstock on a mat using the Xtra, but it doesn't cut it good at all. I put the pressure to more but that didn't help. When I try to remove the sticker from the sheet, it tears below the sticker and the sticky part of the sticker is left on the mat. I have wasted too much sticker paper to try much more. When I switch to my Maker 3, I don't have the problem. It's frustrating that I can't use the Xtra for what I bought it for, stickers. I need to add that it cuts vinyl just fine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love my joy extra! She does it all! Great addition for my small business! I love the print and cut feature for stickers and also the drawing pen for cards. I’m enjoying crafting with it. Great for small spaces as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm real happy with my new little machine! Haven't taken it anywhere yet, but it's nice knowing that I can!

The Joyxtra keeps bending the mats, mostly the ends but the sides of the mats curl up as well. It is very frustrating and too many mats become useless.

I was excited to use this machine for stickers. However, I was disappointed. This machine won’t connect via Bluetooth. It has trouble connecting and I’ve tried all the steps it has required of me. I called Cricut and they were no help at all. They keep stating they will reach out and don’t. Tbh I don’t think they have a solution but just don’t want to admit it. They should have made this machine with a USB cable. I have not been able to use it. This machine is not cheap and I’d like to return it. Make it make sense. 🤷🏻♀️

I’m frustrated. No instructions on how to use design space. I’m at a complete standstill will an expensive machine and I have no clue how to use it. Have tried utube videos but they don’t explain in enough detail. Don’t know which type of mat to use, how to make something from design space 😩😖😖😖😩
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
