Which Cricut Machine should you buy? 2024 Cricut Expert knowledge

[@NellieGirl]

Dreaming of getting one. Trying to decide which one for me??

[@Tinkerbelle26]

I have both the Explore Air 2 and Cricut Joy Xtra. Since I got my Xtra, I use it more than my Air 2 because of its compact style and versatility. I don’t make a lot of the larger projects, so my Xtra works just fine for what I need.

A friend got the explore and I fell in love and impulsive bought the joy, maybe 8 months later I got the explore air 2. It crapped out 6 months later, Cricut replaced it. My replacement crapped out just past the one year, but gotta say their customer service was excellent they gave me a discount on a brand new maker, so far so good.

I am a newbie and I'm looking to make vinyl decals for my projects, including sponsor logos (monotone colors) to go on my race car. Some logos tend to be very long (maybe 5"H x 36"W). I think the Cricut Joy Xtra would be the right machine. What do you think?

Probably your best bet

Thank you for the great information, i'm currently starting making handmade bags and want to make badge pin with holographics! What machine is your suggestion? Thank you 💖💖💖

@@shairauntalan6585 what type of material are you wanting to make the tags out of?

[@shairauntalan6585]

Metals! 💖

[@CorinneBlackstone]

@@shairauntalan6585 the maker or maker 3 will be the most powerful but for metal a laser will do a better job. I recommend the wecreat vista with the 2w IR laser shrsl.com/4ok4j
