My machine won’t quite pull the paper in straight, not matter how much I fiddle with inserting it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love that it cuts so much faster. I have the Explorer air also. I love both of them.

I had been putting off buying a new machine because I am a creature of habit (and I didn't like the previous colors of mint, pink, blue). However, my Explore 2 was dying. So, I bit the bullet and bought the Explore 4. I was absolutely blown away by how much faster it goes. At times it concerns me, wondering if the speed with make it wear out faster, but for now it is super helpful. The cons to the new machine is the difficulty I have getting it to connect by bluetooth. My computer will show that it's connected, and the on button turns blue on the machine, but Design Space will not acknowledge it. On the old machine there were better ways to troubleshoot a connection problem, now I actually have to close the program and reopen it in order for it to connect. Also, since the new machine does not have a dial to choose paper type, there is additional steps that you have to take to choose the paper you are using. This is a drag when you have to choose every single time you load paper, even within the same project. Even so, as long as I don't have further connectivity problems, I am thoroughly enjoying how fast I can get projects done.

I had to replace my Cricut Explorer 2 with a Cricut Explore 4. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I really enjoyed using my Explore 2. I absolutely LOVE my new machine. It is so much faster and runs much smoother than my old machine. The updates are amazing.

I love the speed and accuracy of the cuts. I am a little disappointed with the loudness of the maching. It is quite a bit louder than my Explore 2.
