[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.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I am so impressed with this Scan n cut machine so far! I've been working on making some labels for containers, but am excited to try out other projects too. Next, I'll be doing a vinyl transfer. It's very user friendly, and was very easy to figure out. I had it set up and ready to cut within 5 minutes. It cut quickly and efficiently. Couldn't ask for anything better.

[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!

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 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.

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.

After a while the matt stops feeding correctly which sucks because this is my second cutting machine. I also have a label maker and a sewing machine. I had to go buy a cricut machine to keepy side business going. I sent it to be fixed and was told it was the matt after getting it back I had a brand new matt it gave me the same issues with a new matt.
