Cricut Maker 3 | Starter Bundle (2024)

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.

It’s brilliant and a great upgrade on the previous model. Brilliant for all types of vinyl and software and cricut support is brilliant.

Product arrived on time, set up in no time and working perfectly, looking forward to using it

The media could not be loaded. Set up took a minute and I straight away managed to do a demo cut. This took minutes or less.It does exactly what you want done with superb precision. It's a solid machine which at present works amazingly.Colour is nice and it's huge so you can print large pieces.These are pricey but they work amazingly fast. Highly recommend for all.

I LOVE it! What an amazing piece of kit! I was so nervous buying it (will I use it, is it worth the money) and I am thrilled I have!! I have made loads of cards, felt flowers, designed my own projects and got totally absorbed by it. The downside is You do need to have a lot of the cutters and these can be expensive to purchase as they don’t come with it. Even though it accepts smart materials mats are also very handy! Everyone who comes to boat ends up wanting to use it and we now have one at work. Super easy to use, very quick cutting and lots of accessories for fun projects! Love it!!

Very expensive but worth every penny, easy to use

I hate this machine and the software more than I thought possible. It is counterintuitive, laggy, overly complicated and extremely restrictive. I’m sure if you stick to only cricut projects using only cricut materials you can do wonderful things, but I want to do my own original ideas and it is designed in every way to stop it. I want to smash it to pieces but it is extremely expensive. I should have investigated all my options before purchase.

This works really well. I haven't tried most of the materials it can cut but those I have were perfect. It's been better than my last machine and I'm enjoying it. I wish there was more done for our English taste in the projects and cards; maybe there will be as more of us use Cricuts.
