Brother SDX85C ScanNCut DX Electronic Cutting Machine, Charcoal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a revolutionary invention and provides so much convenience and use! I did not know much about it before getting it, but would highly recommend anyone in the market to purchase this exact one!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a neat printer/cutter. The initial set up is pretty easy to do. We had a little trouble at first getting our wireless internet set up, but we eventually got it. We were just looking in the wrong place. It comes with a mat, spatula, and a stylus pen for the display. I will be honest, we had some trouble getting it to cut the pattern. It is super easy to set up what pattern you want. It just takes a few steps. I had to run the mat through the printer and pattern several times before it actually cut. I'm not sure if it was because the blade was new or what. I presumed it would have cut first thing. I put it on different settings and it just wasn't cutting the card stock. After several attempts it finally did cut. I pulled the paper up and used the spatula to lift my pattern off. What is super cool with this Brother is that you can actually scan your own designs and use your computer to print/cut out whatever you like. It will cut vinyl, some fabrics, cardstock, etc. I'm definitely going to get some materials and make some Christmas crafts with this. The possibilities are endless with this cutter. This is a crater's dream come true. I was intimidated at first, but now I can't wait to make designs for tshirts, decals, and everything in between.

[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.] This brother machine is so cool. It does so much. It does even more than I am ready to even begin to try just yet. I just completed my first project. It wasn't super complicated but took a little work to figure out how to get into the swing of things. I am a beginner at all this stuff so it's a little overwhelming, but for some one who is seasoned I'm sure this is a dream.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setting up and getting started was easy, the machine does the work for you. I used to admire my friends for all of the projects they had on display, now my wife and I can do the same. There are downloaded images to use at the touch of a button and the machine adapts to the type and thickness of material being cut. Using the software is easy and adaptive. This tool also comes in very handy for my kids and their class projects. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has interest in this type of hobby or need.

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'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.

A User Manual would be extremely helpful. I already own an older model of Scan n Cut, so I'm not inexperienced. Still, the new model is different and I can not get it to cut what I need. I'm sure the answers to my questions are out there and I will find them when I have the time and patience to search for them. It would just be so much easier if the instructions were easily available.

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.
