So far, it has been pretty easy to use. The times where I am unsure of how to do something, I’ve been able to Google or YouTube pretty easily. The good thing about Cricut is that there’s a lot of content out there on all platforms, so you will be able to find the project you are working on somewhere.
The only negative is that you will be spending a lot of money on materials: like vinyl, transfer tape, etc. Didn’t realize, that you go through materials pretty quickly, so make sure you find online stores to get supplied for lower than what they sell at retail stores.
I purchased this in March 2025. I still have my Maker 3, but I wanted the advanced speed and using Smart materials. I wanted to cut large decor for my master bath.
Looks good so far. It would be helpful if there was a step by step introduction to the new materials that are in the box with the Cricut Maker 4. Did I miss something?
While the speed is fun I am finding accuracy and definitive and thorough cuts have been replaced by the speed. Don’t like that at all.

I just got my cricut maker a week ago. Just starting to learn how to use new things I didn’t have before. I like that I have tutorials to help me learn. I also like how much faster it is.
