I got the maker 4 because of the reviews of how much faster it was. And also for the ability to emboss and other features not available on the Explore 3. I did not find it "lightening fast" as reviews gave it. I find it a little faster. I am happy with the maker 4.
I bought this machine for my church so we could make stickers and t-shirts for VBS and other things for different groups in the church. It did such a great job. Good cuts and fast. It did not disappoint.
Disappointed in the fine point blade. I've replaced it already and I have to cut through even cardstock more than once. Love the machine, disappointed with the way it cuts.
I love my new Cricut Maker! Can’t believe how fast it is. I passed my previous Cricut on to my daughter-in-law and she loves it. I hope one day to get her a brand new one also. My first big project was a gift box 14”long by 6” tall in the shape of a Princess Cruise Ship with decals windows and dolphins. I used it for a girlfriend‘s birthday gifts and she loved it so much she has it displayed on her mantle!!!
Definitely way faster than the first maker machine and looks like the rollers are made of a better material. Hopefully they wont ware out as bad as the last one
