Cricut Joy Xtra Smart Cutting Machine

This cricut joy xtra is affordable and can do way more than the cricut joy. Would highly recommend getting this one instead of the joy since this has a sensor and is compatible with a home printer allowing you to make stickers without any problem. It also allows you to do bigger projects than the cricut joy since it’s bigger. You could easily make larger than mat projects with this machine, 3 foot piñatas, larger logos, and it is easy to use. Love that you can make many projects without spending too much like you would with the bigger versions. It’s a great size so you could even fit it on one of those 3 tier carts with wheels and have your own movable cricut station. The downside is that it does not have the scoring option and you won’t be able to engrave. Love this machine and would highly recommend if you want to get into the cricut wagon. It’s a perfect first cricut.

Excellent product, ships sturdy. Easy to use and super fun! Ended up returning for an upgraded model because it's so fun!!!

I have been using the Cricut Xtra for a few years now, and am truly impressed with it's versatility. It's compact, with removable power cable, and the housing and components are very sturdy. It's an affordable product that produces accurate and remarkable cuts quickly. Great for any medium with a width of 9.5in (for smaller sizes, I recommend the name brand mat). Cutting tips are easy to change and are available on Amazon from third-party at very reasonable price. Bluetooth connection is stable most of the time - if there's a problem, unplug and reconnect power and it works, with no risk of losing your project.

Perfect for Cricut beginners. Love how easy it is to operate

I bought the Cricut Joy thinking it’d be a cute, little craft tool to help me make cards and labels. What I didn’t expect was a machine that had more ambition than I do. This tiny powerhouse is like the underdog of crafting devices—it's small, but every time I use it, I feel like I’m unlocking hidden crafting superpowers. One minute, I’m making custom vinyl decals, and the next, I’m wondering if I could create an entire new wardrobe with just this thing. It’s so easy to use, it’s like Cricut read my mind and decided to make a machine that could be operated by a toddler (or, more realistically, me, because I can't handle complicated tech). The fact that it can cut out intricate designs that make my DIY projects look like I hired a professional? Absolutely unfair. My only complaint: now every time I see a blank surface, I hear the Cricut Joy whispering, “What about me?” It’s got me looking at the world like it’s one giant crafting project. In short, it’s compact, capable, and quietly shaming my lack of creativity. 10/10, would totally recommend for anyone who wants to craft like they’ve got their life together.

As someone just getting started, I couldn’t have picked a better machine. The size is ideal—not bulky at all—and it’s incredibly easy to use right out of the box. It’s been great for small DIY projects, labels, and party decorations. Handy, reliable, and surprisingly powerful for its size!

So I have always wanted a Cricut cutting machine, but I don't really have the space in my house, they're fairly expensive and the original Cricut Joy was too small for my tastes. Enter the Cricut Joy Xtra machine...I'm loving this thing. I found it on sale on Amazon and it was small enough to be stored away when not in use, but big enough to be useful. So far I've cut some vinyl decals for a friend to sell to raise money for her nonprofit, I've cut some vinyl decals for myself, for my family, and I've made a few T-Shirts with heat transfer vinyl. I also have some printable vinyl sticker paper to try out soon. This machine cuts up to 8.5 inches wide and 12in long on a mat, but up to 4ft long with smart materials. That said I don't like the Cricut smart materials. There aren't enough colors/variety and the vinyl is difficult to handle due to the thick paper backing. I cut a vinyl decal of lettering for my Dad's truck using a mat and carefully aligning the letters and words to make it long enough. Is that convenient, no not at all, but it's doable and for my needs it worked well. Most of what I cut (so far) are small decals and hopefully small stickers soon, so this machine is excellent for my needs. It does officially support print then cut which is wonderful and one of the main reasons I ordered it. I also ordered sublimation markers that fit in the Cricut Joy Xtra and can be used like the infusible ink markers and I haven't had a chance to use them, but I'm looking forward to it. The downsides in my opinion are the smaller cutting width (not too big an issue if plan ahead carefully), the lack of official tools (like engraving tools or different cutting blades, etc), and there are no buttons on the machine so no off button (it must be unplugged to turn it off), and then there is the software... Cricut Design Space is designed to be intuitive and easy to use and for the most part it is...however too many features are behind the subscription/paywall and I don't think the subscription is worth $10 a month. It is easy enough to manipulate your own images and import them into Design Space though. I have been using GIMP to edit photos like PNG and JPG files as well as InkScape for vector graphics like SVG files. It's easy to create a vector graphic importing a JPG into Inkscape and tracing the bitmap. However this is easy for me as I have a bit of graphic design experience and a degree in Information Technology. Design Space might be easier to use for people without that background. Another downside that I absolutely despise is the need for internet in order to not only use Design Space, but to cut an image. Why do I need internet to cut something on a cutting machine. That's just dumb in my opinion. Overall, for a first time Cricut user and a first Cricut machine, I love this thing. If Cricut would improve Design Space and eliminate the need for internet connectivity to cut files, I would give it 5 stars.
