Cricut Maker 3 - Smart Cutting Machine, 2X Faster & 10X Force, Matless Cutting with Smart Materials, Cuts 300+ Materials, Bluetooth Connectivity, Compatible with iOS, Android, Windows & Mac

I got this machine to make some custom signs for my wedding. As of this review I’ve been using it over a year and I’m so happy I decided to get it. I’ve made so many cards for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and other special events. I’ve used the engraving function to make custom reusable tags for my family’s holiday gifts. I’ve made stencils I used to paint on shoes I customized. I’ve cut washi tape, printer paper, construction paper, card stock of various weights, and overhead transparencies (and it does take some playing around to figure out the settings that are ideal for each specific material, but there are presets for most of these materials already). It’s so versatile. It cuts really well. The machine itself is nice to look at and is constructed really well. It stores away really quickly and easily if needed, but it’s a *little* heavy so do keep that in mind if this machine is going to a user that has some difficulty with lifting if they intend to pack it up and move it elsewhere to store it.This was the first cutting machine I’ve ever used and it was pretty easy to just jump right into, you’ll need a cutting mat (I recommend standard grip for most paper projects and most vinyl projects, I recommend lightgrip for light papers like copy paper or washi tape, and strong grip for engraving projects. I make a minimum of one card a month and I’ve made countless vinyls for my friends and family. I also have a scrapbook that I regularly make custom labels, designs and scraps for. It admittedly felt like a high price tag when I first considered purchasing, as I was doing most of my card work by hand with other tools before, but the improved quality I get from this machine and the TIME I SAVE is incredible.Special note to other card makers:No more stamps, you can digitally create your own designs the cricut can draw for you, or pick from a design someone else already made.No more diecutting.No more clutter from multiple different shape punches.No more scoring board.The possibilities with this thing are truly endless.

I bought this product to use for my small business. I have zero prior knowledge of cutting machines and figured this would be one of the better affordable options. I receive this fairly fast. I first made wedding invitations using the pen writing feature for a friend to test it out. It took me 4 hours to get this thing to outline 3 invitations because it wouldn't work properly ( I had it directly plugged into my laptop). So I automatically assumed it was broke because it was loading the paper, registering for a second, and freezing.My husband thought it was ridiculous to spend the money I did on this thing so I wasn't about to give up.... long story short. It was my laptops USB connector that is messed up and it wouldn't connect properly. I found this out when I connected it via Bluetooth and I have yet to have another issue.ATM I have had it for 3 weeks and have printed over 200 mini vinyl clothing labels and its worked great. I will warn you after several vinyl prints I noticed the upper right corner from inches 8 to 12 tend to not cut through as well, but overall it is a great product, quick to learn, and easy to use once you know what your doing.Would highly recommend.

Excellent product and super quick ship!

I'm in love withe this machine is fast east to use value for my money ideal for creatives

The media could not be loaded. I'm super happy with my Cricut purchase. At first, it was hard to understand, especially buying all the materials it takes. The mat, the tools, the vinyl... you learn everything by reading the manual. I also bought the software so it can be used for more than one purpose. It's wonderful; it only cuts the material you put in it: vinyl, cardboard, paper, fabric, leather... I do a lot of projects with it. I'm delighted with my machine; I use it quite a bit. It always has to be connected to a computer, it comes with all its cables.

The Cricut Maker 3 has been an excellent purchase. I love the precision and ease with which I can personalize all kinds of projects. With this machine, I edited the balloons for my son's birthday and designed t-shirts for his team, since the ones the school sold were too large. I’ve also been able to make unique gifts like personalized cups, and everyone has loved them! It’s an incredibly versatile tool that makes design and customization feel professional. Highly recommended!
