Cricut Explore® 5 + Deluxe Bundle

Compact, lightweight and fast. I wasn't prepared for how much my productivity would improve with this machine, but this was a good problem to have. Connectivity was simple, so getting the first cut in took way less time than I expected. This was a great buy and I'd highly recommended it

Purchased this new Cricut machine for Mother's Day and I love how Cricut provided materials to get crafting out of the box. The machine cuts at a faster rate than previous explorer machines. It's a great starter machine for the occasional or experienced crafter. Made a t-shirt with iron-on vinyl, stickers for my daughter, and car decals with materials provided.

I purchased the Explore 5 to replace an Explore 2. More versatility, faster, simple to use (I think would be a great machine for a beginner) and really well priced of the lot. I started in 2008 with the little cutter, mainly scrapbooking and cards, progressed to decor (banners for parties, etc) and it was finicky sticking things on with glue. I also learned to do stencils for etching glasses and also for using fabric paint, a LOT of fun personalizing things. I am loving the pen abilities of this machine, the size (compact!) and how neatly it cuts, and as I get to know more materials and tools/abilities in Design Space, (high honestly overwhelmed me at first) I am having sooo much fun and I haven't even scratched the surface of what one can make with this great little machine!

This was an upgrade gift for my daughter who loves her Cricut machines. She loves it! Would be nice for Cricut to come up with an edible printing solution for home bakes or small businesses. Not everyone can afford the next grade of edible printer options for almost $3k. Walmart dis a great job with fulfillment and delivery. Thank you 😊 🙏

I bought this after just buying the joy extra to do larger project. Never using a maker or explore before i didnt bother about the issue with changing the blades/scorer etc as i was used to it from the joy. Fast speed and good cut. Much louder than the joy xtra but that was expected being a much bigger machine. My only dissappointment was the first time i used the pen i realised i could not leave the blade in like the other machines as the clamps are not independent like on previous machines but one solid mechanism. This means if you dont take the blade out that it also cuts the writing out about an inch to the right of the writing so be warned if you want to leave the blade in while you write then this is not the machine for you, if however you are happy to only use one clamp at a time then its a brilliant option. If i had known about this issue i would definitley have bought the explore 4 instead but after buying 2 machines in a month i wont be buying a 3rd lol. Overall i am more than happy with the machine and it only lost a star due to the clamp issue

This is my fourth Cricut machine. I felt I had so much money invested that I should stay with the brand. Must have internet access to use. Cutting the premade designs is pretty easy. Custom designs are much more difficult,

I don't understand why you had to change the size of the pens. I have so many of your pens that I use in my Maker. I use them a lot and this change is very frustrating to me.

Cricut has some major issues with the new Cricut Explorer 5. i was so excited when i received it. issue is.. when i got ready to cut i had to unplug the machine in order for it to register it is suppose to be cutting, 2nd..when it finally did start cutting it would rip whatever material i had in there. i changed the settings and everything else possible. just wouldnt work. then i kept getting an error message.

I was really excited to get a new Cricut machine as my current ones are several years old. At first I was impressed with the speed of the new Cricut Explore, but unfortunately the issues started not long after I began using it. The main problem has been with Print Then Cut. It works one minute and then completely fails the next. I've wasted a lot of materials and printer ink trying to get it to work consistently. I've also spent time speaking with Cricut support via chat to troubleshoot the problem, but nothing has resolved it. To test whether it was my design or settings, I ran the exact same project on my older Cricut Maker, and it cut perfectly with no issues. This makes me believe the machine I received may be faulty. It's really disappointing because I had high hopes for upgrading my machine, but the inconsistency and wasted materials have been frustrating. Unfortunately I would like to return it.

I purchased this with high expectations, but it doesn't cut all the way through. I contacted support, and after spending nearly 3 hours troubleshooting and feeling like I was being blamed for the issue, they finally agreed to send a replacement cutter. I'm hoping that solves the problem, but I'm not very confident at this point. I have a feeling I'll end up spending another few hours with support if the replacement doesn't fix it.
