Cricut Joy
I returned it… I found it a lot of work in its design space when I already have a silhouette cameo3

    A little excited and a little conflicted
    I don't like that it comes with no directions or instructions, I don't like YOU HAVE to sign up with a paid service to access cricut designs. I like what you can do with the machine but you have to learn on your own or watch videos.

    Tiny but mighty.
    Love this little workhorse. It checks length of material so there are fewer mistakes.

    Poor software. Cutting width less than advertised.
    Despite what's in advertising and posted on other sites, the max it will let me cut is: 10.76cm width on a mat and 11.42 cm width on smart materials. The software cuts repeated pieces in the most wasteful fashion (forcing you to buy more material). You have to use your own software to undo this and lay things out ahead of time as it will undo things you lay out in the cricut software instead to make it bad. Seems to waste a little material at the ends for no reason as well too - it should start a roll cut near the edge and finish with a perpendicular line to save you from having to cut it (or at least most of it) yourself too. Bluetooth started cutting out and required a reboot too. Otherwise, when it's going, it does what it's supposed to nicely for vinyl and paper/bristol board. Didn't use the subscription service - plenty of free images/fonts online.

    Great little machine.
    I have used my Cricut Joy a few times already and I'm very pleasantly surprised with what this machine can do. The shipping was fast and the package arrived in perfect condition.

    Love it
    Well I thought I would never get any use out of this machine, but I find that I am using it more than my cricut maker now. It so convenient to carry around with me for all those small projects where my cricut maker was to heavy.

    Cute but limited
    I am relatively new to Cricut crafting. I really like the Explore Air 2 but was a little intimidated by it. So, I got the Joy and was underwhelmed. The Joy is so limited I'm what it can do and the size of designs. Absolutely, you can rotate things and such but when you come to large pre-designed decals you're out of luck. Combine that with the fact that this machine has already had a $50 price drop, and it's still only $20-25 cheaper than the much better Explore Air 2. It's a no brainer! Unfortunately, I would also add that this machine appears toy-like in comparison to the full sized machines.

    A Great Addition to Any Craft Room
    I really like that the Cricut Joy isn't difficult to operate I can do everything from either my phone or laptop. I like the simplicity of that. I have no plans to do large projects that are beyond the Joy's capabilities so it was the perfect choice for me to try electronic cutting machines.

    It is wonderful
    Love this! Its compact, sleek and easy to use and I have used it almost everyday since I got it. My husband jokes he is afraid to sit down or stand still because he knows if he does I will slap a label on him too and what it will say depends on how Im feeling toward him at the moment.

    Small but does lots!
    I am impressed with the quality of the Cricut Joy and the small amount of space it takes up. Once I get materials to use with the Joy I'm sure I will have lots of fun and make lots of things. I do wish it came with more than the little bit of materials so you can check it out on more then one thing.

    Endless Possibilities!
    If you love making new and pretty and intricate yet easy projects, you will love this machine. It is so easy to set up and start using right away. Don't want to spend $5.00 on a card from the store, this machine is for you. With all the pens and different blank card sets with beautiful inserts, the list of things you can create is endless! If you want you can use pretty much any card stock and cut it to size and make cards with that or posters..or scrapbooking! I could literally go on all day! I love my new best friend The Cricut Joy Machine. It really is a joy!!!

    I give this cricut a thumbs up
    I Love this Cricut Joy it is easy to carry around and it's easy to use even a baby could use it. I mostly just do everything on my device and the cricut joy does the rest the only most difficult part is if I upload an image on my own I have to remove the pieces I don't need. But other than that I totally recommend this machine.

    Came very quick 3 days tops. I did have a little trouble with it at first it didn't come with instructions. So I basically had to use common sense and Google of course. Overall I love it.

    Amazing
    I bought the cricket joy for easier crafts and for the fact that I don't need a mat for cutting, it also allows you to use your phone or computer, it writes and draws great I'm happy that I bought it.
