I love it. Had the Explore Air before and this one is so much faster and just over all smoother. I tend to use it more than the older one due to that fact.
First I want to say that the delivery process was easy and fast. I am super excited to have purchased te cricut maker 4 it cuts faster than my previous cricut maker.
I was very nervous about this purchase because I didnt want to be one of those people that became intimidated and let it sit in the box for months. The product is super easy to use and has a lot of great help features as well.
I am pleased with my new Maker 4. I have had the original version since 2020; it still functions well, although the rollers are worn. The new model operates significantly faster, and I appreciate not having to manage the mat for certain cuts.
Love my Maker 4! I upgraded from the original Maker and the speed is very noticeable. No problems to report. Just enjoying crafting with the use of the Cricut Maker 4.
I loved my Maker 3. As much as I wanted this to be a seamless experience, my Maker 4 didn't cut through cardstock when it arrived. Cricut support was tedious to deal with (think looong chat wait times) and it took a long time for evaluation and, finally, replacement. The replacement works better, but honestly I feel like the faster cutting leads to incomplete cuts which means I have to deal with support again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
