[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. It's my first cutting machines, so there was definitely a learning curve to figure out how to use it. I was pleasantly surprised that I did not need to connect the ScanNCut to a device. It also took some patience to get the outline the way I wanted when there wasn't a strong contrast between the background and image. The ScanNCut detects the cut marks on the mat after a while as well. It cuts pretty fast and it's not as noisy as I thought it would be. I'm really enjoying using the Brother ScanNCut cutting machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before I got this machine, I hadn't ever previously owned a cutting machine. I had wanted one for quite awhile, since I like crafts and especially papercrafting, but I was a little intimidated by cutting machines and figured I was getting by well enough with a cutting mat and knife. When I received this Brother ScanNCut machine, I indeed felt a bit intimidated by it at first since it seemed like it had a lot of features that I wasn't sure I'd be able to grasp well enough to use the machine properly. It came with a manual that walks you through your first project, and I was surprised at how easy it was to make my first cute box, it only required a few simple steps. At this point most of my apprehension melted away and I couldn't stop thinking of the possibilities for using this machine! My favorite feature is probably the fact that it can connect to Wifi and receive patterns sent from your computer. It wasn't very hard to set up, and the Canvas Workspace online program lets you make your designs on the computer and then instantly send them to be cut on the machine. It is really all so much easier than I expected. There are lots of options to get exactly what you want, but it's simple enough to just scan or upload an image and have it automatically accurately cut by the machine in a matter of minutes. I'd say this machine has enough awesome features that it's good for a cutting machine veteran looking to upgrade, but it's simple enough to use that a beginner like me can grasp it in a matter of minutes. Plus, it's saving me time that I would otherwise be spending laboring with a cutting knife in hand!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Brother ScanNCut SDX85 Cutting Machine with Scanner is great! It is very easy to use and has a ton of designs to choose from. I prefer it to the last cutting machine I had and I also like how this one has a nice touch screen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this machine, using for fabrics and paper. This was my first time using a cutting machine. Set up and Installation were both very simple, includes so many templates and fonts for free on the machine itself. You need to get to know the machine and play around with the settings. It took me a few trial and errors and some research and videos to get to know the machine better. Start up was simple, I watched some videos on how to operate, and made the project that came with the machine-no problems at all. I am still learning all options and looking forward to all I can create. The transfer between the machine and the computer via internet is very easy and you can add collections through a usb. My all time favorite feature is the scan feature, it allows me to print stickers and scanning into the machine it will cut them without me having to have a cut file. The auto blade works great for beginners. I love the tool storage. The screen is great. This machine has many other features but I haven't used them yet. For many reasons this is a superior product than other brands. Also, love the fact it's a stand alone device. The possibilities are literally endless. I highly recommend it no matter your skill level.

I like the product but when i ran into a problem with the machine witch isn't the problem in itself. The Problem is trying to get through to Walmart to return this for a replacement. The roller Bar doesn't work all the time and won't feed the mat in every time. So walmart needs to get back to people when they say there going to email you and they don't.

The machine does what it says. I purchased it to cut out wallet patterns as that seems to be something that truly interests me. The only downfall i can see is the blade gets blunt very quickly. I don't think i make that many wallets for it to get blunt so fast, but I've replaced them like 10 different times since my purchase. I do cut faux leather & cork.

I didn't like this at all. I thought it was going to be easy to use. I found it difficult to understand. My package also had some missing parts. It may be good for someone else, but it just wasn't for me.

I'm using it for card making. On the bad side is you don't include a manual. Now how silly is that I would think at the cost of the machine you would.

I absolutely HATE this machine! I wish I had not spent my money on it. It is difficult to use, difficult to connect to the internet, difficult to understand. When it works it makes a nice cut, but those times are far and few between. My daughter and I are both disappointed in it. I let her take it home to figure out and she hates it as much as I do. Brother and wireless do not work well together. Again- I HATE THIS MACHINE (and my brother embroidery machine). I will NEVER buy another Brother product.
