I wish I had seen a choice for the teal color b4 I purchased but overall it's a great machine. I have the Maker & Maker 4, very similiar but much faster!
I had an Explore Air 2 that needed replaced so bought the Maker 4. Speed is wonderful, cuts beautifully, easy to use. My rating of a 4 is because they enclose inside the box a “free” blue cutting mat. This is not the same as what you order separately. Very thin mat and the way it is packaged, the edges were crinkled and creased. Not useable, as it would get stuck in the machine. So much for “making something right away!” I was surprised it was in the box in the first place!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome Machine
on March 24, 2025
Posted by: Tink
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was gifted the machine to test, and I Love the Maker 4.
I tested the machine out with a variety of Cricut materials and tools: cardstock, iron-on, regular vinyl, value vinyl, chipboard, Kraftboard, foil, pens, holographic vinyl, 28 lb. copier paper, PTC, foil posterboard, the foiling tool, the rotary blade, the knife blade, and the engraving tool.
I am super impressed with the speed of the machine. With the increased speed I was wondering how the machine would perform; however, I was amazed at the precision of the cuts, foiling, engraving and drawing. It did not disappoint.
I highly recommend the Maker 4.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had nothing but pure joy using the Maker 4. I love all of the materials that come in the box and being able to make something right away, the clean, crips cuts, the faster mat loading time and the cutting speed. I am impressed with each and every material that I have cut so far. Those include chipboard, wood veneer, cardstock, vinyl, iron on, stickers and engraving. It's a fantastic choice for anyone's needs or wants. It has performed with excellent consistency.
The Cricut Maker 4 sure has kept me busy but in a good way. And Design Space is such a great tool for my card making and wedding business. I enjoy scrolling thru Design Space and getting ideas and creating my own. Their are hundreds of ideas and helpful hints that I never would have thought of that have boosted ideas and things that I can make!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cricut Maker 4 - Useless & Unreliable Software
on June 20, 2025
Posted by: JJ
While the Cricut Maker 4 device has proven its reliability, the software that drives the device is completely useless, unreliable and littered with bugs. The software is driven by subscription to use the Maker 4 properly and anything you purchase cannot be used after the subscription has ended. So they lock you into a subscription for life. I have never seen my wife in tears so many times. Driven by frustration, anger and helplessness. She will spend so much time in a design and then the app will crash and exit. All that time lost, the idea of chasing that dream design and so close to completion and then all is lost! The Design software is just as useless as Cricuts Support, as they generally blame the issues on connectivity. Be warned, stick to Brother at least it does not rob you of your life and dreams.

Speed & precision in one beautiful package!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! If speed and precision are what you want, the Maker 4 is the machine to get. It has cut every material I have tried perfectly. I make a lot of cardstock projects and I'm used to having to use my True Control knife from time to time when cuts are left hanging, but that's no longer an issue with this baby. And, it's SUPER fast too!

These machines are horrible. Slow. Glitchy. And did I say SLOW. Worst money I have ever spent.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
