User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Expression is wonderful
I’ve only had the Expression for about a month and I really love it. No technical problems so far. It really is fun to make such different stuff and build great looking cards and make titles any size for pages.
5 Stars Love the machine
So far I love this machine. It does what the website says it can do. Just wish the cartiages were cheaper.
1 Star Worst spent money
This machine is nothing like the quality the commercials and advertisements make it out to be. It is suppose to be able to detect the edges of your papers and it does not so. Even more the commercials show how easy it is to cut out images on your photos but in real life, it is harder to align them and will take several trys and damaged photos to cut them out how you want. This machine can not cut regular thickness paper as it is to thin. When it cuts the Scrap booking paper you can buy at the stores it tears on the edges. *no the blade is not dull it is a new blade* This is the worst spent Money ever. The company has refused to respond to my emails for a refund and its been under 15 days since purchase.
1 Star Don’t be duped.
I got this as a gift for Christmas. I bought all the accessories, including the deeper blade. I found that the machine does not cut chip board as the product claims. It also does not cut quilting fabric. Both of which are demonstrated on the DVD provided. I spent another $40 attending a class at a local scrapbooking store using the Cricut Expressions. I am glad I did this because it reassured me that I was not a slow learner. The instructor also had problems trying to get the machine to perform, and the instructions provided were very vague and poorly written. When I have called the customer service at Provo Craft the “tech” did not know how to use the machine, and was not helpful. On the up side, I did buy the software package, on sale. The software has been essential for me to be able to use the cartridges. I agree that all the Cricut products are way over priced, especially when there is little or no customer support. Save your money and buy ready made die cuts.

I have had my machine for almost 3 weeks, I have yet to use it because I didn’t receive the cartridges that are supposed to be packaged with it. I contacted amazon who put me in email contact with the shipping company who finally responded to my request to get the missing cartridges. I was told they would be shipped right out via priority mail, I have yet to receive them. I am anxious to see if this machine is as good as I have been told it would be.
