Cricut Explore 3 Craft Cutting Machine with Ultimate Sampler Bundle, Vinyl & Iron-On

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Amazing new machine, the Explore 5, easy to use straight out of the box. Set up was quick and easy, with plenty of materials and tools to start making right away. This new machine has load and go, only one button to push, and loads the material/mat and starts cutting immediately. The new scoring tool works well with all materials I tried. I tested several materials, different weights of cardstock, vinyl, iron-on, infusible ink, felt, acetate, and so on; the Explore 5 cut everything quickly and precisely.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) My first Cricut machine was a Cricut Explore Air 2. So this was my basis of comparison for the Explore 5 machine, and the bar was already set pretty high! I love that the Explore 5 loads and goes with the touch of just one button, which increases the cutting speed if you love making projects with lots of materials or mats. The scoring tool, is in the same clamp as the blade, which guarantees perfect precision for all score lines. This is extremely important for a paper crafter like myself. The pens and the foiling tool worked beautifully. I created projects with very intricate cuts and the Explore 5 handled them without any issues. It's a fantastic machine and I love that it takes up less room in my craft space than the comparable machines.

I didn't look to see if I got all the supplies that came with it but overall I got the cricut brand new super nice. I Recommend buying this.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I like the compact, sleek look of this machine. It is perfect for smaller spaces, and lightweight enough to move around if needed. From setup to making the first project was seamless. I love the speed and precision of the cuts. I have made a few projects with cardstock, vinyl, and printables and am very pleased with the results. Overall, a great machine!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I got my Explore 5 a month ago and I love it. When I first opened the box I was so excited to try out my new machine. The first thing I noticed was that it was lighter and sleeker. The design without the closed lid is great and I love the colour. I love the new feature with load and go making cutting so much faster. I can't believe how fast this E5 goes and it's very precise when cutting, scoring and drawing. I am having so much fun with my new E5. I love the new Score Tool it is so easy to use and the score line is nice and sharp, making it easy to fold.

This is fantastic for anyone just getting started in the Cricut world or for a seasoned pro who needs a great machine for their collection.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I was sent this new Explore 5+ Essentials Bundle from Cricut to test. There are so many great materials to get you crafting right after unboxing! There is a new Scoring Tool that gives the most perfect score lines! There is also a new Card Mat which does 2 cards at a time. This new machine is pretty incredible! The Print Then Cut calibration is PERFECT!! It is an easy process to calibrate. The Speed of this machine is amazing. What's so perfect is that the speed doesn't affect the precision or intricate cuts! I had great cuts every time! The game changer for me is the Load & Go! Once you load your mat, the Explore 5 gets to work WITHOUT constantly pressing the start button. I was able to connect my Explore 5 to bluetooth from my laptop and iOS mobile in seconds. It is also compatible with Android and Apple. I have cut and tested a wide variety of materials including, different types of cardstocks, Smart Vinyls, Premium Vinyls, Acetate, Veneer, Felt, Printable Sticker Vinyl with and without a laminate sheet, Printable Magnet Sheets and more! You are going to love this new Explore 5!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) The machine has great precision and I love that I don't have to hit go for it to start going once I load my mat. The scoring tool works great. Whether using the mat or smart material, the cuts came out flawless.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I am so happy with this machine! I absolutely love the color and shape! It fits so nice on my desk!! I do have the other Cricut machines but this one has quickly become my new fave! It cuts so much faster and it's way quicker with the pens too! Unboxing this machine was SO much fun, every layer has another gift. Cannot recommend this machine + bundle enough. It is great for beginners and experienced users too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given the opportunity to test the E5. I love how quickly it cuts. The print then scan occurs very quickly compared to the Maker 4. The new scoring tool is really compact and amazing. I think it scores better than the Maker and Maker 4 (stylus and scoring wheel.) The scoring lines is very easy to fine. I like that the new pens that came out with the Joy work in the E5. It cuts, scores, foils (I use the foiling tool for debossing) quickly. There are some times when the cuts on cardstock aren't as sharp others, but I think that is a software issue in DS.
