After owning an OG Cricut from 2007-2014, I was so excited to upgrade my Cricut for Christmas this year. Wow, the experience is so different now compared to the days of layering, swapping cartridges, and scrolling through endless pages on the user manual! This new Cricut is everything the original Cricut wanted to be, but better.
I couldn't believe how fast that little cartridge zoomed through the vinyl and paper, whipping out all my decals in no time at all. It's also precise; I was able to feed it a little 2-inch by 1-inch piece of vinyl on the mat, and it cut through it like butter. And this included a few precise little details and specialty fonts, too, which impressed me.
So far I have only made some simple stickers and labels, but that's only the beginning. I have plans for decals, cards, and so many more things my brain is racing. I'm excited about the blades that cut through wood and cork, since I've only ever had a Cricut that can cut through cardstock.
All in all I'm excited to craft in 2026 with this smart little machine. Thanks, Santa!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have not had a chance to use yet but pretty soon though! If my Cricut maker was good I’m pretty sure this is even better!

I've had a Maker for a number of years and wanted to upgrade. I use the machine for a little side business I have. It's faster and makes a better cut. I can't wait to see how well it does other things. I was a bit disappointed that the mat is bent.

I bought the Cricut Maker 4 back in August 2025. I had never used a Cricut product before, so I had nothing to compare it to. I bought it because I wanted to make cards, t-shirts, and other crafts. I find that the actual Maker is easy to use, the main difficulty comes from Cricut Design Space. It seems like there are updates ever week or once I figure out how to do something is Design Space there's been an update and something has changed. Design Space is far from being user friendly. I've also had issues with the Iron-On material not staying on the shirts after washing. From what I am told is may because how the t-shirts are washed but, in my opinion, it should not be so difficult to wash a t-shirt just to keep the iron-on from coming off. It's an iron-on t-shirt not some delicate fabric.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I struggled with connection issues but got worked out. To be honest after using my original maker for so many years the fist time this one did a cut it scared the crap out of me! 🤣🤣🤣 I know it is suppose to be faster but wow 😱 Have not had a chance to do other crafting yet but am excited to.

It was so much faster than I expected it to be. It was purchased for work. I cut a lot of things out on it and it has cut the time it takes down. I love how I can use various materials and tools with it just like I did with the Maker we had at work before this one. We didn't have to buy new blades or mats to work with this machine, which is a plus. I highly recommend the Maker 4 to anybody.
I would recommend this to a friend!
