I considered getting the Joy for several months prior to finally committing. I am very happy I did. I use mine a lot and have never had a problem. I am really enjoying all the things my new Joy can do.
Once I got hang of how everything worked it is a "Joy" to work with. I make tic-tac-toe boards for our paranormal team and this machine saves me tons of time.
I love my Cricut Joy Xtra it’s so easy to move around and take with me on the go. I love to make cards on it a lot. The size is great and I don’t waste as much paper.
