I bought this a month ago and Im so happy with, I can do many things. I recommend this incredible product. Thank u Cricut, for this beautiful and incredible machine.
I purchased this to use just for cutting circles for air freshener labels. I had a few hole punchers that I used manually, they were great and fast but they would stop working not too long after purchase, so I decided to look into a Cricut. I get that the sticky insert has to always be used so nothing slides, it's just a pain. I wish there was a way I could put a stack of cardstock in the machine, choose the number of copies I want and then let it cut......but that's not how this works. I do believe this is an awesome machine and those who purchase this can definitely do a ton of things with it. I'm only using it to cut circles - time consuming but it's fine.
The bad news is that it is very loud! The good news is that it does cut fast
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
