Sizzix Switch disappointment

Received my machine today and I was not impressed by the flimsy plastic opening. Upon trying to turn the machine on, it did not work. Not very impressed right now!

Oh No, I have a craftwell that I bought several years ago. It is heavy duty. I'm so sorry you are dealing with this Evelyn. I hope you get the problem resolved. HUGS

Thanks. Just very disappointed in the quality. The added straw to break the camels back is that it is broken. Honestly, not worth the price. The quality is cheap

Igot the tim holtz black one. after12months I only used it for die cutting and followed instructions and the rollers fell down I got it replaced and the replacement one does work properlyeither I cannot emboss with it , the door is flimsy and does not close properly right out of th box. Very disappointed in the quality of the product. May 2024

[@Evilin0861]

Thank you for expressing your experience. I totally agree with you. The product was totally flimsy and poorly made. I’m glad that I was able to get my money back. I do not recommend that machine

Wow, bummer…..pain in the neck having to return it……I have the Tim Holts Vagabond for years and works great….also have the Gemini by Crafters Companion and luv it…hugs

Hey Lily, I have the Vagabond. I wanted a back up machine since I love die cutting. Let me tell you everyone is raging on how great the Sizzix Switch is. Upon unboxing the quality Of the exterior is cheap. Not a sturdy plastic. The opening of the machine where you feed the plates is so flimsy that if could easily be damaged. Lesson learned. The straw that broke the camels back is that machine did not work. Don’t be impressed by all the hype on KZbin. They probably got theirs for free but when you pay for it with you money, you want quality Yikes! I said it. Cheap is cheap😡

Oh no!!! So sorry! Mine is lovely and cuts beautifully. I hope you were able to exchange it!

Mine quit working after 4 months ... I have cricut that i was able to fix myself and now use it

[@solocraftz]

Well, that's disappointing! I got mine and the box was banged up a bit, but it works fine. I was a bit concerned that it was damaged after seeing the condition of the box it came in. I am so sorry that happened to you. I hope they compensate you for the inconvenience.

Hi Evelyn. What a bummer! Take care, Wallie

[@GinaLovestocraft]

I would take it back for sure and email them to send you a brand new one I’m so sorry this happened. Sending hugs 💕💕💕

[@Evilin0861]

I purchased it from scrapbook.com. I have contacted them and I have to return the machine. The quality of the plastic is thin and the opening flap is very flimsy. Not worth the price or the limited warranty. I feel not satisfied

[@GinaLovestocraft]

@@Evilin0861 They are Pretty good at emailing back I’m so sorry this happened they will send you a new one I’m totally Sure

[@JillianNorwood]

That is disappointing! I hope you were able to resolve? 🌸

[@lizfeltwakeman8055]

I have used mine about 10 times, but now it won't power up.

[@susancrosier5420]

Aww too bad. Did you check your outlet? That's happened to me😊

[@Evilin0861]

Tried it out on three outlets. These outlets I have used with my vagabond. The machine is faulty. The quality of the machine is flimsy. Not worth the price. That is my honest opinions

[@susancrosier5420]

@@Evilin0861 ooh too. Bad.

[@denity2006]

I've had mine a year and today it won't even turn on.

[@Evilin0861]

Oh no! So sorry to hear that. I was not impressed with the machine. The quality looked cheap considering all the hype. I have the Tim holtz vagabond. I also brought the Sizzix big shot for back up. I think I’ll stick to those for now

[@mysteryswsw9728]

i bought this last september , after 3months and now it won't turn on, what do I do

[@Evilin0861]

I can only suggest that you contact the retailer whom you purchased from. Perhaps, you can also contact Sizzix. The machine should have a year warranty. Check your instructional manuals. Sorry that this happened to you

[@lisadelong1455]

Well that’s frustrating isn’t it? Personally I would want my money back. Looks like they need to do some more work on this machine.

[@nancyjohnston6076]

Very flimsy. SO not impressed with the tray and lid. PLUS - mine jammed the first time a sandwich was put through.

[@Evilin0861]

Omgeeee Nancy! I totally agree with you. The original price was 299.99. Is Sizzix crazy.! The quality of the machine is cheap! I could see that opening just dropping off in my hands. Yikes! I’ll stick to my vagabond for now.
