The machine is was such a great deal, it worked out of the box as it was advertised and was an easy plug and play hookup. The part that was a bit difficult was setting up the design that the machine was going to cut, i looked at a few videos and seemed like the videos and real life were not the same, so as with any tool i takes a bit of time to get them to do what you want them to do, and in the end i did get my project finished just took a bit longer than i expected but its that way in life as well
I bought this a week ago and received it on Tuesday. I have been testing, designing and cutting all sorts of designs. The Maker 4 is so fast and it cuts with such precision and the seashell color is just beautiful. The sage one from Michael’s craft store will be nice to add to my collection soon.
I have had my Maker 4 for almost a year and I still love it as much as I did on the first day. It’s a pleasure to use and so versatile! Im excited to what Cricut brings in the future
Just received my Maker 4. It takes a bit to get used to all the new features. I had an Explore 2 before upgrading. While this machine is MUCH faster with cutting, printing with pens, some of the other features take a bit to get used to. I liked the old machine for the dial you used to pick the medium you are using. The 4 you have to find the medium you use in a long list. Best to bookmark if there is a medium you use a lot. I make mostly cards and prints for infusible ink projects. For tools, it automatically goes to a scoring wheel, I only have a scoring pen tool, so I have to change the tool selection every time I need to score. Guess I’ll have to buy a wheel now. All in all, this machine is definitely a good upgrade from my dinosaur Explore 2. Just as the 4 arrived, they announced the new 5! Wish I had known about that one before buying the 4.
