LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!
I absolutely love the Explore 4!!! It is much quieter and cuts faster than my previous machine. I have had an Explore 2 for a few years and it had an unfortunate fall from my table while in use. It kept on cutting and has been working as it should but I noticed the that the gears began making a grinding noise when moving the mat, I had several projects coming up for the...

DONT BUY IT!!
The Cricut machine itself is fine, but Cricut Design Space is a major drawback. The software is very limited, with restricted editing, poor flexibility, and a workflow that feels outdated. Simple tasks require unnecessary workarounds, and users have little control over important settings.

Unusable
Spent hours trying to print a sticker sheet. First it was being displayed as nothing but a black box, then it needed to be reformatted, then the printer refused to print it calling it "incompatible with this device". After reading about other people's similar frustrations with this, I've given up. Stay away from this thing

Problems setting up
I’m having a hard time setting up an account on design space. I’ve tried changing password but it won’t take it.
I will try calling customer service

I purchased the machine several weeks back, but can't figure out how to operate the thing. I asked a friend to show me the basics. Hopefully once she does, I'll fall in love with the machine like everyone continues to say.

Amazing machine
I am amazed at the cutting ability of the Cricut Explore 4 and the awesome speed. The main reason I purchased this machine was to cut out vinyl patterns for my stained glass. So far, I have not achieved this. I know this was not one of the expected functions of the Cricut but I know this is possible because of the precision and the removable vinyl.

Best Decision
I have an Explorer Air 2 and my husband comes in while I am making Christmas cards and says I deserve the explorer 4. I told him I was perfectly happy with my 2 and he says I want you to have it, so we ordered it and I am so happy I did. It is much faster than my 2 and plan to explore new projects with it.

Customer care is better than the actual machine
The blue tooth connection stopped working about 10 minutes into my project. Other than that, the machine performs well.

Great machine.
I love my Cricut. I have a Brother Scan and Cut that I had bought in September but had major issues with getting the measurements for a stain glass pattern. I then bought a Cricut and the first time I used it I got the correct measurements. I wish I would have bought it first. I now use it to make stickers and stain glass patterns. Easy to work with and materials are...

So fast!!
I bought this Explore 4 to replace my Cricut Explore air 2 that suddenly stopped working. It’s a lot faster at cutting than the Explore 2 and I’m very pleased with it so far.

Don’t be Scared
I was a little scared and overwhelmed when I first received my Explorer 4. But little by little I’m learning the basic things so I can move on to the more difficult stuff.

Operating instructions needed
The Cricut itself is wonderful, once you watch a bunch of youtube videos to figure out how to operate it as it comes with NO instructions.

Plugging along
Bought recently after a class on clay and Cricut. I find the user friendly simple projects tricky and the platform doesn’t allow enough information and interactive guidance to jump in cold. It’s a lot of trial
and error. I’m plugging along and using up
material excessively. Cuts are good fornhow Inuse the Cricut for pottery. I could have gone with a simple machine.

Good So Far
The first one I got was broken upon unboxing, but I haven't had any problems with the second one so far.

Fast and Accurate
I upgraded my machine and it’s amazing. The speed of the Explore 4 is a game changer in my crafting.i am able to finish projects in half the time! And the cut settings are much more accurate. I use only an iPad to connect to my Cricut and it works seamlessly. I work with mainly cardstock but I did use some vinyl in a quick project and the cut was flawless as well.
