So far I am very much enjoying and excited about my Maker 4. Quicker, quieter and the options for paper weight are just a few reasons why.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Design space is its Achilles’ heel—so unwieldy, counterintuitive, clumsy. Please, dear company, improve the software!!!!! Better yet, don’t use proprietary software at all!! I have to use multiple other programs to get my design ready to cut. That said, if I import a 100% ready-to-cut SVG file, the machine works beautifully at actually cutting.

UPGRADE

I upgraded from Maker 3 to Maker 4. I continue to love the Maker series. I didn’t have to change the cutting accessories.
If I could change one thing, it would be to have color options. I really liked the rose gold on the Maker 4.

Definitely much faster than the 3 at cutting. The cuts are very precise and clean. Love it 👍👍 Seems to function a bit smoother also.

Maker 4 performance is very disappointing. I had an Explore 2 for years before I upgraded to the maker 4 and had very few machine issues. In less than a year and a half, I have had 6 new replacement machines sent to me because of various issues with performance of the maker 4. Pulling mat in crooked and bending all of the mats, cutting issues despite following all of recommended cutting settings, broken door multiple times. 4 of the replacement machines were broken right out of the box when I received them, with 2 of them being the same door problem, the front door would not open automatically when opening the top. One of the machines never cut any materials properly and I basically had to use a deep cut blade on fine point blade setting, on a higher than default pressure setting so that it would cut without running it through multiple times. I purchased a 3 yr extended warranty on the machine at the original purchase time, and I’ve already had to use that to get another machine that I had only had for nine months, because it was a replacement that cricut had sent but since it was more than 1 year since my original purchase, I had to do the replacement through the warranty. Luckily it was a quick and easy process and they immediately refunded my money to an electronic card to purchase a new maker 4 from Cricut.
The current machine I now have, after receiving 2 broken replacements, is working as expected ( I’ve had it about 2 weeks), and I’m hoping that will continue.
I use my Cricut almost every day and love it, but my experience with the maker 4 performance issues has been ridiculous. I don’t know if others have had any problems or just f it’s just me, but it’s hard to believe that I’m alone with all of these issues.

I have enjoyed Cricut since I first heard of the product. I liked that it made large projects easier to manage. Before Cricut I did handmade cards and invitations by hand. I’m glad these machines are around to make art easier.
