Cricut Joy Xtra Smart Cutting Machine | Vinyl Starter Kit

I love it. I have discovered so many things I can create. I feel like I found a treasure. I can bring my creativity off paper and make it more. It’s easy to use with just a few clicks and the size makes for easy storage and travel. Great quality

Excellent product, ships sturdy. Easy to use and super fun! Ended up returning for an upgraded model because it's so fun!!!

This cricut joy xtra is affordable and can do way more than the cricut joy. Would highly recommend getting this one instead of the joy since this has a sensor and is compatible with a home printer allowing you to make stickers without any problem. It also allows you to do bigger projects than the cricut joy since it’s bigger. You could easily make larger than mat projects with this machine, 3 foot piñatas, larger logos, and it is easy to use. Love that you can make many projects without spending too much like you would with the bigger versions. It’s a great size so you could even fit it on one of those 3 tier carts with wheels and have your own movable cricut station. The downside is that it does not have the scoring option and you won’t be able to engrave. Love this machine and would highly recommend if you want to get into the cricut wagon. It’s a perfect first cricut.

I’m still learning how to use the machine. So far the one thing is time is definitely needed. Seems to be easy to use. The great thing is there is plenty of vids to watch for tips. I believe it’s worth the money. It does take up some space but not too large. It functions well and is great for making thank you cards so far. It does all the work for you. Has designs people have already created so it’s just choose and follow the steps and it’s all done. When I have time I can sit down and learn to create my own designs, but like I said that will need time

I love it! Great way to get the experience of the cricut machines without buying the more expensive ones.

This little machine is perfect for making cards and other small projects. It accommodates 8.5 x 12 paper or cardstock without pre-trimming, so it can make many regular-sized Cricut designs simply by rotating them lengthwise. It's super easy to use and it cuts, draws, foils, and supports the Cricut Print Then Cut function. Cricut provides lots of special products to make card making super easy and fancy with the Joy Xtra, but it's also easy to make cards from scratch using third-party card stocks. There are lots of support groups and video tutorials for using Cricut's design software and lots and lots of projects and designs to make as-is or to customize as your own. Cricut mats and blades are inexpensive compared to other brands, and third-party mats are extremely affordable, so replacing a worn mat is no big deal. Joy Xtra pens are also inexpensive, but many other brands of pens can be used, some without needing an adapter. It's super easy to change from the blade to a pen during the making process. I also have a larger cutting machine of a different brand, which is technologically superior to this little Cricut, but the ease of use and huge variety of Cricut stuff (materials, tools, projects, videos, etc.) make this one my favorite. The reasons for deducting a star are that the Bluetooth connection is slow, and it doesn't have auto-sensing technology so the user needs to manually select the material to be cut. Also, Cricut's proprietary software does not allow for the saving of projects in a standard format (SVG files) for use on other machines, but that's a Cricut drawback in general, not specific to the Joy Xtra.

I bought the Cricut Joy thinking it’d be a cute, little craft tool to help me make cards and labels. What I didn’t expect was a machine that had more ambition than I do. This tiny powerhouse is like the underdog of crafting devices—it's small, but every time I use it, I feel like I’m unlocking hidden crafting superpowers. One minute, I’m making custom vinyl decals, and the next, I’m wondering if I could create an entire new wardrobe with just this thing. It’s so easy to use, it’s like Cricut read my mind and decided to make a machine that could be operated by a toddler (or, more realistically, me, because I can't handle complicated tech). The fact that it can cut out intricate designs that make my DIY projects look like I hired a professional? Absolutely unfair. My only complaint: now every time I see a blank surface, I hear the Cricut Joy whispering, “What about me?” It’s got me looking at the world like it’s one giant crafting project. In short, it’s compact, capable, and quietly shaming my lack of creativity. 10/10, would totally recommend for anyone who wants to craft like they’ve got their life together.

Love this starter kit. It’s easy to use and can make many different things. I’ve used it for making cards and stickers for use in resin. The more you use it the more you’ll learn how to make so many things. It’s a great starter cricut. I may invest in a more expensive one later on but you can do a lot with this one.

Todo llegó en muy buen estado, la máquina sirve bien, aparte del material que trae, tiene un sobre con vinilo para que practiques y te dan un mes gratis de la app, me encantó

ممتاز جدا أعجبني

Buena máquina de corte

I went back and forth for a long time deciding which Cricut to buy, and I’m really glad I chose the Joy Xtra. It’s perfect for someone like me who mainly makes cards, tags, and small paper projects. It’s easy to use, compact, and does exactly what I need without being overwhelming. I also use ChatGPT to help break down steps and directions when projects feel confusing or overwhelming, which has made crafting much more enjoyable and stress-free. This combination has worked really well for me.
