I Love Cricut
I absolutely love my new Explore 4. Took me awhile but finally got it, so far I have only made stickers but looking forward to one day be able to get the heat press also so I can do my t-shirts and more.

Cricut Explore 4
I love the speed and accuracy of the cuts. I am a little disappointed with the loudness of the maching. It is quite a bit louder than my Explore 2.

From Cricut Explore 2 to Explore 4
I had to replace my Cricut Explorer 2 with a Cricut Explore 4. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I really enjoyed using my Explore 2. I absolutely LOVE my new machine. It is so much faster and runs much smoother than my old machine. The updates are amazing.

Amazing how fast but connectivity challenges
I had been putting off buying a new machine because I am a creature of habit (and I didn't like the previous colors of mint, pink, blue). However, my Explore 2 was dying. So, I bit the bullet and bought the Explore 4. I was absolutely blown away by how much faster it goes. At times it concerns me, wondering if the speed with make it wear out faster, but for now it is su...

I like it, but…
My machine won’t quite pull the paper in straight, not matter how much I fiddle with inserting it.

Free software . Yeah right.
Your free software is a total scam . It is so hard to navigate because everything is rigged to make you believe that purchases are necessary. If I would have known that the "FREE" software was so terrible due to trying to make you pay for something at every turn, I would have never bought this machine.

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 The software is very limited, with restricted editing, poor flexibility, and a workflow that feels outdated.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.

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...

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
