Great features but limited functionality.

I was very excited to try some Christmas projects using already owned supplies like glitted foam sheets and patterned paper in order to make gingerbread men ornaments. This machine only cuts cardstock and vinyl. Vinyl is expensive. So it'll just sit there for now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cricut Joy Extra Review
on December 9, 2025
Posted by: Crafting Queen
from Minnesota
I really wish there were options to recut the same image as with the maker 4. I also wish there were better guide rails to loading the mats. The precision cut is not really there. I like the compactness of the extra joy, I like the concept of the machine just need some adjusting to make it friendly with cutting, loading.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cricut Joy Xtra is great and compatible. If you want to do do small simple projects, the Joy Xtra will do the job for you.

Cost, time to learn

Materials are costly and despite being a package I still needed additional materials to get anything done. It also takes hours of practice to hone your skills.

Cricut Joy Xtra
on December 10, 2025

I just received my Cricut Joy xtra, and I'm really liking the size. I've cut out Iron-on vinyl for 4 t-shirts and it cut beautifully. The only complaint I have is it bent the corner of my cutting mat while feeding into the machine, which made it unusable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great in theory

I did a lot of research to find the right Cricut machine in my budget, but in the end, it just didn’t cut it (no pun intended). My goal was simply to make waterproof stickers for personal use, but it can’t cut through thermal laminate. Since I have shaky hands, self-adhesive laminate isn’t workable for me. Really disappointing.

I broke down and bought myself the cricut joy extra and an so very glad I did! Its not an explore or maker, thats for sure but it does almost as much as one does. My income, ir lack thereof, didnt allow me too big of a splurge but you get a lot of bang for your buck with the joy extra!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the machine but am having an incredibly difficult time using the App on my iPhone 16. I’ve spent hours on your Chat trying to get everything to sync properly and I’m hoping that today I will be able to make the 27 gifts I’d really love to get created for Christmas!! Fingers crossed. The machine is great for doing so many different projects!
I would recommend this to a friend!
