5.0 out of 5 stars Don’t think; just BUY IT!
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2019
I’ve been trying to get into the T-Shirt biz for some time now and I decided to stop putting it off and go for it. This....machine....is AMAZING! You can cut vinyl, you can cut paper, you can cut iron on, card stock, bonded fabric, poster board...if you can dream it; you can make it! Worried about it being complicated? Stop! It’s not. It’s so easy you’ll be making whatever your heart desires the day this gets delivered to you. I did my research on machines and I was sold on this one. I am impressed beyond words on how easy and versatile this machine is. Oh before I forget and this is important. It comes with a light grip cut board which is blue. If you plan on cutting vinyl or cardstock or anything of a medium hardness you’ll need to get the standard grip board which is green. Also the option of machine only doesn’t have any tools. I suggest you shop around for a tool kit that fits within your budget. One last thing...because this was my first mistake. When you start designing and you want to cut your design out; do not select print and cut. You’ll have a major head ache trying to figure out why the machine won’t recognize your cutting board. Select “save as a Cut image.” Again...if you’re thinking about starting a business or just want to do some crafts in your space time; DONT THINK JUST BUY THIS MACHINE! Thank me later.

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting to know your Cricut, then you LOVE IT!
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2019
I ordered my Cricut Explore Air 2 in Matte Black. I received it ver timely, perfectly packed. I had to research "how to" for my machine. Mine did not come with anything but a mat and not the most common mat used, besides coming with one blade and cords etc. Once I learned to log in and watch several video's and log into Cricut.com to register I then learned more. It appears slightly complex however do NOT let this get in the way or fool you. I purchased a basic kit with it. I had heard on fabulous things about this fabulous machine. Once you gain the knowledge of how to use your Design Space and I also pay $10.73 a month for a membership (that includes tax) I flowed very well. The card above in the picture is the first card I made. I am so amazed at how detailed this cuts and what it is capable of. I am excited to do iron ons, work with different materials. I have plans for this machine!
