Works okay but is always disconnecting from my computer. I can be in the middle of a project and it just disconnects, then I have to turn it off wait, turn it back on and wait forever for it to reconnect. It does this every time I use it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointed that I can’t use Foil Transfers. Bulkier than Joy. Like making cards

Hi, we are always looking to improve the experience for our users and really appreciate the feedback. The Joy Xtra is bigger than the Joy but you should be able to use the Foil Transfers.
This little machine needs to be able to resize for 6 inch and 12 inch smart materials. Why would you create a new machine with yet another material size. Make it use what we already hsve. Shame on you.. .

I'm enjoying getting to know the machine and all it can do. Made some cute Halloween cards for the grandkids. Setting my sights on Christmas cards and tags.
The best machine ever! Larger than my Joy, an using regular sized vinyl , yet so much lighter and easier to carry around that the larger machines! The perfect choice!

I have not created much yet but I did make a few Christmas cards and am very happy with them. I hope I can learn how to create my own designs, not sure if it will be difficult or not. The size of the Joy Xtra is great!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I upgraded to the Cricut Joy Xtra and love it! The extra width and larger selection of materials is very versatile while sitll maintaining a small footprint and easy to transport (wish there was a cool bag like I had for the smaller one!)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Mat does not feed properly in the Cricut Joy Extra
on December 8, 2025
Posted by: Peggy
This is the 3rd Cricut Joy Extra I have purchased. I have had trouble with all three of them. The mat keeps hitting the side or the back of the machine and makes horrible noise, it has bent several mats. I was hoping that they would have fixed the issue by now, however I just received the 3rd machine and It still has the same issue as the other two. I am EXTREAMLY unhappy that this issue has not been fixed since the first release!
