Cricut Venture Smart Die-Cutting Machine, White

I absolutely love the new Venture! It was an easy set up, I made my first project right away. I craft a lot , but don't sell anything so this was just for me. The speed and ease that it makes multiple projects is amazing. My Christmas crafting is off to a good start! I do also have the Maker which I still use. The Venture gives me more flexibility to make larger projects.

This machine is beyond amazing, the speed, accuracy, and capabilities are endless! I own an Air 3, 2 Air 2's, 2 Makers, and the Joy and this has blown them all away! As a small business owner this machine has reduce the amount of time I cut projects by half! I used to speed weekends cutting multiple items of the same template with 4 machines going now all I need is this one! As long as your willing to learn and put in the time the Venture will work for you! My only con is that I cannot use my Maker scoring wheel.

Great upgrade for my art practice. I was at the point where I had to buy two Cricuts to handle the workload I needed for my art. So when I saw the large one it was a dream come true! I can cut large shapes or vinyl for installations or lots of smaller things at once. It's super fast and looks great in the studio!

i love it go bigger it did what i want it to do ? i used mats 24x28 inches

It is a great machine cuts fast but it does not use adaptive tools.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cricut Venture was easy to assemble and setup using a MacBook. Remember to add the venture to the Bluetooth first. The machine can cut intricate designs at fast speeds. I also cut large 4.5' long pyramids and applied to the wall. I used with the 25" smart vinyl.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so impressed with the speed, and accuracy of this machine! I finished all the decor projects for my nephews birthday party in a couple days vs the weeks it would've taken me without the Venture machine! The stand is a must have, makes it very easy to load smart materials and move the machine if you're limited on craft space.

I really wanted to love this but I would be lying if I said I'd recommend this to any crafter. I was dancing when it arrived but one day of cutting and I'm exhausted. If you craft with a lot of paper, cardstock, vinyl and light materials, then MAYBE.  Soon as I loaded kraft cardstock (Cricut brand, at that), it required the deep cut blade. That was unusual because the Maker series spoiled me. You use the regular blade. I'm so disappointed. Even for the sale price, I feel like I spent too much. That's saying a LOT because every Venture item I bought, I purchased on sale (including the stand). PROS: Fastest cutting Cricut machine.  Great for batch vinyl cutting  Largest print then cut capacity (of all Cricut machines) Ideal for Smart Materials  Ease of use; beginner friendly  CONS: Does NOT cut thicker materials well. Pressure needs to be adjusted and because it cuts faster, it may damage materials  Mats aren't sticky enough for heavier materials Requires more time and effort to work with thicker materials This machine is more like the Explore series as opposed to a “new” machine.  Can adjust the pressure, but not the speed I didn't read the reviews before I purchased, but I wish I had. I would've bought it for my vinyl and light paper crafting anyway.  I just would've been more realistic with my expectations.

I got this to cut larger leather pieces for bags and other items that the regular maker can do. Nope! It's very limited and not like the advanced or industrial/professional version I thought it was. You can do pretty much simple things larger and faster. Absolutely no use to me.

I cannot use it because it will not link to my windows 11 pc. So there is no communication to or from it. So I am not happy at all because I have yet to be able to use it and cannot get help that fixes this problem. Horrible directions came with the product also. I had to research online to find directions.
