Customer Reviews for Cricut - Explore 4 Smart Cutting Machine - Seashell

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love it! I have the first model Explore and it fell and broke the bottom door but still worked. My husband bought me the 4 for Christmas. It’s so fast!!!! And quieter!!!

I absolutely love my new Explore 4. Took me awhile but finally got it, so far I have only made stickers but looking forward to one day be able to get the heat press also so I can do my t-shirts and more.

Do not buy! I have owned SX Cricut machines all from no fault of my own! This new Explorer is the WORST! These machines NEVER beeped with EVERY single little thing it cuts!! This one does! They will tell you its normal! Well they NEED to advertise its NOISY and WILL beep on every single little thing it cuts!!! Its LOUD and annoying! Cricut doesnt care what the consumer wants, only pushing these out as fast as they can! Oh it no longer has the magnet in them that used to hold blades in either!!! Cutting corners is more important.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love, love, love my new Cricut Explore 4. The buttons are easily pressed, it's fast and precise, and cuts very smoothly.

Everything cuts too fast and tears up the paper. Don’t use for any intricate letters. Just Awful and going back to using my 6 year old machine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
