Joy Machine & Digital Content Library Bundle

I bought this machine for cutting out designs on stencil vinyl to use as a blocker for copper etching. This little machine is quite the value and it has exceeded my expectations. The accuracy of the cutting is really excellent and the pressure exerted by the blade is just enough so that it only cuts through the material and doesn't even appear to touch the backing. I did find out rather quickly that although the design app is free if you want to get some of the better designs you either need to purchase them separately or get a paid subscription but at around $10 a month with your first month free you get a lot for your money and at a cost of $1.00 each to buy the premium designs should you not want the subscription it really is quite the bargain. The only real drawback is that nothing is controlled manually except for plugging it in and of course loading your project or loading the pen or knife. Everything is done through the app so if you have internet issues you are dead in the water. But for the price it is an excellent product. I would recommend buying one of the bundles if you are unsure just what you will be making or if you don't have materials for your specific project. I already had the vinyl and the transfer tape I needed and I purchased the machine only. It did come with a small cutting mat but I did need to purchase a longer mat as some of my designs could not be done with the smaller one. But other than that it was a go for me right out of the box. Installing the app and getting started were easy and the customer support is great. I give it a big thumbs up and highly recommend it if you want something that's really affordable and compact as long as your projects don't exceed the 4.5 Inch width of the feed. Or if you already have a machine for bigger projects and are looking for something for the small jobs that's compact and portable with a price tag to match.

I bought this as a gift because I already have one of my own and love it. It’s perfect for small projects and super easy to use. The digital content bundle is a nice bonus and makes it easy to get started. The only downside is that it doesn’t do print-then-cut. If that feature is important to you, the Cricut Joy Xtra would be the better option. Otherwise, this is a great little machine.

I bought this primarily to make precision custom stencils for my cosplay work, but I see myself making many gifts with this as well. The small size can be a bit limiting but it works well for what I need, and I like how portable the small machine is. I’ve cut my first trial pieces and they came out incredibly accurate and with amazing details. This will absolutely get lots of future use for my work, and probably I’ll get requests from friends once they see what kind of high quality work I can produce.

Works good

Es una máquina muy útil y fácil de usar

Works well but software is very limited and can be hard to navigate on laptop or phone app. Sheets are expensive and too small, buying rolls is better but have to precut to fit machine. Difficult to get proper cut depth. Nice size doesn’t take up space. Software is main flaw. Wait to buy on sale.

Soy de Nicaragua, la compré vía casillero y es muy buena, vino intacta, recomiendo comprar tapetes junto a ella ya que solo trae uno, es muy buena para proyectos pequeños o algo grandes

I tried troubleshooting, restarting, rebooting, changed OS systems/ computers. Nothing worked! My husband is a senior network engineer... ie.. way above a computer help desk level... He was unable to get it to work on his computer or my mac. I called customer service to place a complaint there, and this seems the only way to contact them. The person had a thick accent and didn't understand how to say my name... "jennifer".. seriously. So, I'm done with the "JOY"! Now I'm leaving a bad review. Maybe "customer service" should be able to understand and speak in the customers native language. For the complete story.. I bought this to make some xmas gifts. I'm a woodworker. I printed permanent vinyl for my signs. At first glance the design space measurements were not equal to the measurements when printing.. annoying. Then you get to print and it prints in separate sections, which is fine, but each print has to be realigned! yes, so you align it perfectly in the design space, then you have to guesstimate how to realign it in the print section.. more annoying. Then, every single time I printed, I had to completely quit the program, restart the program and go back to my project (and it's a very slow program). Had to do this after every single cut, even if there were multiple cuts per project.. and there's no way to conglomerate all the parts of a project. I made some things, printed some vinyl.. and was able to deal with it. Another point - they give you practically nothing to start working. You need a separate special mat for a card, special vinyl to make something. With the original package they give you like a swatch size of permanent vinyl and a mini mat for vinyl. Couldn't even print 1 card. HAD to buy a card mat and card set for cards and HAD to buy vinyl for even one vinyl project - and wait for that to come in, since I didn't know that til after I got the machine. I mean they couldn't spare anything with the machine? Everything has to be extra?!? And don't bother getting the package with the 30 images. The images are a joke. I couldn't even find a picture for the front of a sympathy card, or simple text in script. You're better off purchasing each image you want individually for a buck or two than getting that dumb bundle with access. Waste of money. Then I tried a card. After I purchased cards, then realized i needed a card mat and waited for that to come in.. I spent a long time finding some sort of image that I didn't have to pay for.. I put everything in.. realign it in the print section and guess what.. didn't align at all. The words printed over the border... I am NOT knew to computers and have even taught basic computer classes.. plus.. really good at measuring.. so yah.. first card ruined. Put in another card... I typed a text, but didn't change the cut function to print.. why would it automatically set to cut a small text.. but anyway.. my mistake .. second card ruined. Put in another card... Now 3 print cut functions for one front side of card. Like I said, they separate, need to be realigned in the print section, but you can't see everything at once. So, I print - there are 3 parts to print. After the first part it loses connection with bluetooth again.. no problem. Completely used to quitting and restarting between cuts now. Well, it never started printing again! It was no longer just glitchy between cuts, it just never connected to bluetooth again. And the f'ing "JOY" has no buttons on it. You connect or get nothing. Changed computers, no connection, changed OS - operating systems, no connection. Turned everything off, turned off at different times, restarted in different sequence, watched youtube videos to troubleshoot, went back to old system. At one point it connected, but then disconnected right before the print. Like, why would it do that right next to the machine?!? 6 hours spent to try to print one sympathy card! So, I'm done. Cricuit, you can have your "joy" back! and I'm sending everything back with it! Thank you amazon free returns!
