I Looovvvveee It!
I actually started with the Maker, and then bought this little Joy package. It has really rekindled the crafting fun for me! I have the Joy in my classroom and the Maker in my home now, though the Joy is easily taken on trips to craft with family or friends. And it is so cute!

Loses connection and stops
The Joy brings sadness. It loses Bluetooth connection mid-cut and either stops outright or rejects the media. What a lot of waste and frustration it provides.

Just starting. I am a quilter and have been very busy with that this winter. Decided to get Joy out today and start working with It for a few minutes. Bad mistake, I can’t stop , I have lots to do but today looks like a day for reading about Circuit Joy.

Response from Staples :
Hello Jo, Thank you for sharing your experience. It truly sounds incredibly frustrating to have your Joy stop mid‑project, waste materials, and interrupt your creative flow. You shouldn’t have to deal with that kind of inconsistency, and I’m really sorry it’s brought you more stress than joy.
Your feedback matters, and no one wants a tool that creates extra work instead of helping you bring ideas to life. If you haven’t already, please reach out to Cricut Member Care at 877-727-4288. We can troubleshoot the Bluetooth issue or help with a replacement if needed. You deserve a machine that works reliably and supports your creativity, not one that gets in the way.

Extremely frustrating experience.
I really wanted to love the Cricut Joy, but unfortunately it has been a huge disappointment.
I followed the setup exactly as instructed, completed all the test cuts successfully, and thought everything was good to go. When I came back later to make cards using pre-designed projects in Cricut Design Space, things completely fell apart. The Bluetooth connection consisten...

"Joy" - Yeah, Right
Received as a gift and could not be more disappointed. It requires my cell phone location every time the machine is in use, the setup took three tries to work (it said success, went a step back without being touched, claimed success again, but I had to redo the whole thing after finding setup buried in the app), it wants to always run the app in the background (essenti...

Very disappointed
This product has not been anything but joy. It does not accept the specific mat and will not load even when I make sure it is in the guides. When it decides to load. The cut is misaligned and off center . The same goes for the print function. I have wasted so many hours with the Joy and cards. I tried using Cricut watercolor cards to cut and print. The result was shredd...

Cricut Joy
The Cricut Joy is a good machine, but not what I was looking for. I wish it had print and cut with the size then it would be perfect.

Won't load materials - only used a couple times
Died after using it ony once or twice. Contacted Cricut and they asked me to send a video, the closed the ticket after 72 hours since I didn't have time to respond. When I did send the video they just said 'the ticket is closed' 😬

Cricut Joy
It's for a Christmas gift. But I have one myself and I love it. I love the size and convenience of it for smaller projects. With limited workspace, this is the perfect choice for a Christmas gift this year for someone special. I rated this item on my machine, though I think the one I bought this for will feel the same way too as I used mine in their presence to cut so...

Great for Craft Fair
I used this to personalize Christmas ornaments at a craft fair, and it worked like a champ! Very portable, easy to set up, and cut the Circuit Values Vinyl like butter. I call it my Baby Cricut, and look forward to taking it to other events.

My New Cricut Joy
I would like to rate my Cricut Joy as a 5 star but just cannot, I like to make insert cards and several designs leave me poking out more chads than I would prefer to spend time doing, cutting is not as sharp and consistent as I expect
