I bought it to make print then cut stickers and it is great for that. I haven’t tried anything else, but that’s what I bought it for. I am excited to create other things with it though.
I'm very happy with it. The only problem I'm having is not able to get the mat in correctly.It ends up hitting the machine in the corner and making loud cracking noise. Is there an easier way to load the mats?
I got myself this product for my christmas gift. Wanted a smaller foot print for small jobs. It was super easy to set up- pretty much plug and play. Only used it once so far and it cuts good. will do what I want it to. I think they could have thrown in a mat for it though. I have every cricut up through the original Maker and love everything about them EXCEPT the software. They STILL have not improved the ease of use- YES they add features which are great but I still find the navigation very hard.
This is my first cricuit so I chose the xtra because it cuts and writes. Originally setup using an ipad, viewed the tutorials but a bit tricky following my youtube videos. Installed on laptop and found it so much easier to navigate and follow along. I’m sure that once I get acclimated to using it more I can transition over to using it on my ipad. It is a nice machine for a beginner.
