very disappointed! The sensor can’t scan well on glossy paper and that leads to off cutting
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’ve owned cricket machines since the 6” cartridge cutter, went to 12”, then Cricut maker. I loved my maker, but decided that I needed to get the maker 4 as the rubber rollers on the older maker were damaged. Oh my - what a difference in machines! It is faster, more intuitive and so accurate! I am absolutely thrilled and so happy that I made the choice to upgrade to the 4!!!
I bought this a 1 month ago and I'm regretting everything I bought/ the software is pretty easy too use there machines a nother story bought it form the company but not working or not even feeding material in maker 4 I've been going through the process of the return and it's been taking a least a half a month for another too be processed it's just upsets that you buy this not so cheaper machine for it not too be even working win polling out of the boxs honestly I've seen other mechanics for better prices and more options for you to use with honestly upsets with me for not doing better resources and at the company for not producing better product for customers uses

After I got everything set up I was so excited to try it out but I am very confused about how to use it. I think once I figure it out I will have fun using it.
Think twice before you buy. This machine is great but only if you subscribe their Cricut Access. With out this subscription your machine is worthless. Other companies offer free software with a product.

I love the Maker 4. I bought it to use when making smaller projects (I have the Venture which I 10 out of 10 recommend for large projects) because the speed and accuracy of cuts. The cuts have been perfect and I have been using it for about 6 months now. I find myself using it more than I expected because it does such a great job with veneer, chipboard and lots of other materials. Great machine!
