I like it but the design space does not give enough options to work with . You have to use only that application to print in so I feel you need more options and control to do more design work in with out having to use other applications or buying addons. There needs to be better explanations on how to use things the tools in the application with out having to look all over for answers. Some things are made easy as others are not . It is not easy to upload items to use It is not east to Cut , copy and paste , I feel if we ha more options to use more things in the program we might be more apt to buy more materials to use not the way you are set up now set buy more to use more.. I am note going to purchase not If i cannot understand what I already have.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tough to use

It is not easy to use. I have a degree in graphic design but this is a very complex program. Sure I will eventually get it but it is tough. I have to use Bluetooth as my cord does not work, but I have a 3 year plan, so you should really replace it

It's extremely complicated. I will figure it out but its certainly not a plug and go. I hate that it looks like I will need to pay for classes to have much of a future but im still excited to get the time to play with it.

Definitely not as advertised

The commercials and advertisement make it look like it’s just so easy to do and that you’re gonna supply all the information that you need. but you don’t. I’m very sorry that I bought the machine. I’m learning too slow, but it’s not open the box pull it out and hey, this is just gonna be grand, because it’s not how it is so you shouldn’t do that..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointed

Not user-friendly as I hoped. Tutorials are not precise for novices and bot-chat feedback not extremely helpful, neither. Actually sorry I bought it . Stretching monthly funds for materials in hopes of creating sellable crafts, but feel like i’m wasting money. Very disappointed

Plugging along
on December 9, 2025
Posted by: TryIt
from Upstate New York
Bought recently after a class on clay and Cricut. I find the user friendly simple projects tricky and the platform doesn’t allow enough information and interactive guidance to jump in cold. It’s a lot of trial
and error. I’m plugging along and using up
material excessively. Cuts are good fornhow Inuse the Cricut for pottery. I could have gone with a simple machine.

I absolutely love this machine. First big machine cricut has that I purchased and I'm so in love. It cuts fast accurate and makes projects go so much faster. It was easy to connect to blue booth and setting it up was a breeze.

So fast! Love this new Machine. I have a Maker 3 and love that machine as well. Both are great! I can't decide if I like one more than the other. I give both 5 stars!
