highly recommended

Great Device, creates free time.

Bought my wife the Cricut Expressions machine and several cartridges. Suddenly I have lots of free time! She's practically tied to the machine cutting out every which and whatever she can and I've finally caught up on my DVR'd TV programs.
I highly recommend the product for all husbands that want to have more time for themselves.

Huge Time Saver!

The Cricut Expression is a fantastic tool to have. As a kindergarten teacher, I do a lot of cutting. It has been great not to have to cut out 20 of everything by hand. This machine is very easy to use and fast. I have used the original mat many times and it is still working well. As with everything there is a cost to using it. Eventually my cutting mat will need to be replaced. But, it is a small price to pay for the time I am saving. As I said, it is a fantastic tool. I wish I had gotten it sooner.

The recent purchase of this machine has prompted me to become a papercrafting addict. I had not been into scrapbooking or papercrafting prior to my research and eventual purchase of this machine. With the simple touch of a button, the Cricut easily cuts out the most intricate of designs. My husband and I both watch in awe as the cutting blade zips around the paper. It is very user friendly and offers many cartridges from which to build your library. While this machine prefers a permanent workspace, it is not overly cumbersome to move wherever you choose to work.
Accessories such as replacement mats, blades and ink cartridges have proven to be readily accessible and reasonably priced.
There is definitely a wide price range on the machine, so research and shop wisely.
Con: Unlike the manual die cutting machines, the Cricut does not have the ability to emboss.
Overall: If you have an interest in papercrafting or are looking to be thrust into a whole new hobby, look for a good price tag because this is the machine for you.

Don't let the cartridge system turn you off of the cricut!

If you're considering buying one, you prolly don't need another review telling you how much fun they are. However, if you are looking at the different types of cutters and don't care for the cartridge system, you should know there IS software out there that makes it so you can use any font on your computer, etc. It's called "sure cuts a lot" and I wouldn't have bought the cricut if I hadn't run across that software. I hate the cartridge system and haven't ever bought another cartridge, and probably won't. But I LOVE my cricut!

Read some discussion boards for tips & tricks.

The Expression is an awesome machine! I have no cons about the machine itself. About the cutting mat, if it's too sticky, press a clean t-shirt down on the mat & peel it up to remove some stickiness. If the mat has lost stickiness, wash thoroughly with dish soap and dry thoroughly. Spray with Krylon Easy-Tack and, if needed, press & peel a clean t-shirt to remove excess stickiness. Use a lint roller after cutting especially "linty" paper and after each session with your Cricut. The mats will last a really, really long time this way.

I'm sure Provo Craft does not recommend doing anything other than buying new mats, but those who've been using the Cricut since the beginning have found ways to work around the mat issue.

There are also software programs that are compatible with the Cricut that will allow you to cut the True Type fonts installed on your computer. (Not Cricut Design Studio, but other, non-Provo Craft programs.) Google is your friend. ;)

I wish Provo Craft would release their own software that will allow Cricut users to cut their own fonts, but it hasn't happened (despite begging from customers).

Search the web for discussion boards with Cricut topics. There's a wealth of info out there, as well people who are excited about their machines and eager to help. :)
