Cricut Explore 4 Smart Cutting Machine, Seashell

This is my first Cricut machine and I completely love it. I’ve had it less than a month and has already made 3D cake toppers, graphic hat, shirt and several ribbon messages. The speed and precision is definitely a bonus and not to mention the smart materials. I’ve been off work for 2 weeks for my birthday and it’s been amazing getting to know my Cricut Explore 4

I bought this for making stickers and now I use it every day for T-shirts, labels, greeting cards, address envelopes, making prints on canvas for framing. So many uses!

I had to replace my Cricut Explorer 2 with a Cricut Explore 4. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I really enjoyed using my Explore 2. I absolutely LOVE my new machine. It is so much faster and runs much smoother than my old machine. The updates are amazing.

this is probably the best Cricut I've ever purchased. (I've bought 5 so far over the past 20 years.)...which should be expected...as technology improves. That said, it's amazingly fast, soooo easy to use, (the software is excellent and self-explanatory), and the machine itself is extremely versatile. However, the SPEEEEEEED is so much greater than even my Cricut Maker 3, it's phenomenal! With the price point being so much lower than the Maker 4, it was a no-brainer! I love it (so far!) They've vastly improved the calibration as well, so even that is better in 2026. I'm happppppyyyyyy!!!!!!

I purchased this to use just for cutting circles for air freshener labels. I had a few hole punchers that I used manually, they were great and fast but they would stop working not too long after purchase, so I decided to look into a Cricut. I get that the sticky insert has to always be used so nothing slides, it's just a pain. I wish there was a way I could put a stack of cardstock in the machine, choose the number of copies I want and then let it cut......but that's not how this works. I do believe this is an awesome machine and those who purchase this can definitely do a ton of things with it. I'm only using it to cut circles - time consuming but it's fine.

Really easy to get started, I had the software and machine ready to go in minutes. The sample pieces make it easy tog et oriented to how the machine works. I'm used to CAD design, so design space was a bit less precise than I like, but I was able to make my own shapes and projects with a bit more work. One part I think is unnecessary is the "beep" the machine make every time the blade goes up or down; gets a little annoying when sitting beside the machine for a while. Other than that, I had no issues with it and once I got my custom material homed in, it was smooth sailing.

All the reviews seem to say its the best one yet, i completely disagree! It might cut faster but it does not cut better. my Cricut air express 2 cuts deeper and better. The mylar setting always did a double cut, know its a single cut, wouldn't cut through .4 stencil material on single cut! Not impressed with its pressure cutting. Its only good for vinyl and paper as far as i am concerned!

the picture of the machine and what's included is not what is shipped. the machine yes but all the accompanying materials as pictured are not sent with this machine. There are no written setup instructions or use instructions. Be aware everything has to be accessed by computer. Download of software is just the beginning so please note this is not just take it out of the box and use. (am still in the process of downloading the software)

I didn't receive my vinyl or mat that they said was supposed to come with it I looked all in a box nothing was there took it out nothing was there also I paid too much for it I found it on another site for $120 with free shipping I'm thinking about returning it and getting my money back I haven't used it this is not my first circuit machine I'm not new to cricut I very disappointed I really wanted to try my machine out I have to go to the store and get more vinyl

Your free software is a total scam . It is so hard to navigate because everything is rigged to make you believe that purchases are necessary. If I would have known that the "FREE" software was so terrible due to trying to make you pay for something at every turn, I would have never bought this machine.
