USB connection on all machines is needed
on January 10, 2025

Just received one for Christmas, so far easy to use and love to make things. So far only complaint is that its only Bluetooth and I'm off the day for snow and it will not connect to my phone or computer. I'm sad I was going to Cricut on my day off and can't. All machines should have a USB for extra connection.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have a cricut joy, a maker and now a joy extra. Its perfect for small or medium projects when u dont want to get out the big machine. Cuts very well. Happy i got this machine.

It's great for my smaller projects. My only issue so far is it bends the mat on the top left corner which seems to be common with this machine. I have tried loading it the way some have said to avoid it but it doesn't work. I do wish it would have the option to cut twice if its not completely through.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It can be a bit finicky. But in a pinch it has done several cards for me

This machine occupies the perfect place between the Joy and the Maker. I love using it!

Been looking at Cricuts for a couple of years and finally decided to get one for my Xmas present when I saw the Joy Xtra. Price on sale was right and it looked like all the features were good. I have an old Mac and old PC. Design Studio wouldn't work with the old OS. My iPad had the right OS and the machine connected via Bluetooth but Design Studio can't be used on mobile devices. Upgraded my PC to a new one with Win 11 but now can't get Bluetooth to work on it at all (Microsoft is horrible). The Joy models don't have USB it's Bluetooth only so now I have a brick.
Almost ready to send it back but I hope I can get it to work some day. I'd really like to be able to use it.
TLDR unless you know for sure your Bluetooth works without a hitch don't get the Joys.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This machine is very good and the best. I always needed a small machine to bring around while traveling,etc. Instead of bringing my explore air 2. Best machine ever! I use it almost every day!

What a great little powerhouse the Joy Xtra is. I use it for card making and some of my vinyl projects. Its small size makes it the perfect machine for small craft areas. I keep mine on my craft table, stacked under my Cricut Maker so both are easy to access.
I would recommend this to a friend!
