Cricut Explore Machine Review What Works, What Doesnt. NEW MACHINE RELEASED The Cricut Maker 2. See this Cricut Maker Review PostIMPORTANT The Cricut Design Space software is WEBPAGE based. You MUST have Internet connection to use it or you cannot access any images including your cartridge images. You must use the Cricut Design Space software to create anything with the Cricut Explore. This is very unlike the Silhouette Cameo software which can be used without Internet connection. You cannot purchase items from Silhouette without Internet but you CAN design and cut. The Cricut Maker is the newest machine, but still has these same issues. I have been really excited about the new Cricut Explore ever since it was announced. I even hopped out of bed one night when I remembered that it was the HSN launch of the machine and I bought it right away. I couldnt wait for it to be delivered and when it finally was, I even Instagrammed it. I am a long time Cricut fan proof 3. DVD, one checklist and my first set of stamps, Lots of Pun, was created to go with the Create a Critter cartridge. Ive purchased and used two Cricut Expressions a white one and then a red one, the Cricut Expression 2, Cricut Imagine, Cricut Cake, Cricut Personal and the Gypsy. The Great Book Of Hemp more. I was thrilled that Provo Craft finally added. So, you can imagine my disappointment when the machine and its software did not live up to my expectations. What they did right Packaging. The box is visually appealing. The contents are well protected by the cardboard inserts. Its easy to find everything you need to get started. They even made a tray to hold important information see that Start Here folder on the bottom left picture above and included some material samples to the right of that. I love that they added a bag to carry the Cricut Explore machine. As always, they add one mat to the package just like they did here and here. If yours is bent a little, dont worry about it. It will flatten out over time. You can also put it under a few heavy books to make the flattening happen faster. Its not a huge deal but this machine really could use a handle. Getting it in and out of the bag would be so much easier if it had one. I was a little afraid that I was going to mishandle it or drop it but I didnt. Again, its a small thing and not terribly important. Heres the front. Press the open button on the left of the machine youll get this view. Youll find this storage area if you lift up the plastic doors. Its a great place to store things. Too bad none of those accessories come with the machine. That would be a nice addition. You do get a blade and blade housing and youll find those are already in the carrier the movable cutting part. Where this machine begins to go wrong Cartridges. So many of the purchasers of this machine are already Cricut users, which means that they have Cricut cartridges. Those cartridges can be a big investment, especially if youve collected them for many years. I had over 2. 00 of them before I sold about 1. So, owners of Cricut cartridges want to be able to use those cartridges, right Right. Can you use them in this machine Sort of. That little place where my cartridge is plugged in allows me to upload the cartridge to the new Cricut Design Space ONLINE software. The end. Thats how youll use cartridges with this machine. Online. Only. Period. You WILL NOT be using this machine and your cartridges without a computer AND Internet connection. At all. Nope. Nada. No. ANDas I said at the very top of this post The Cricut Design Space software is WEBPAGE based. You MUST have Internet connection to use it or you cannot access any images including your cartridge images. You must use the Cricut Design Space software to create anything with the Cricut Explore. This is very unlike the Silhouette Cameo software which can be used without Internet connection. You cannot purchase items from Silhouette without Internet but you CAN design and cut. So, if youre stuck at home on a snow day and youre all cozy in your crafty space ready to get your craft on, you better hope you have Internet connection or your Cricut Explore is just another thing thats shut off from the world. Additionally, you cannot import projects from the Cricut Craft Room to the Cricut Design Space. If thats cool with you, then read onbecause theres more. There are two ways to look at this Smart. Set dial. 1Its smart. Its dumb. There is nothing wrong with presets. Its not a new innovation. The Silhouette Cameo has built in settings in their software. However, the real problem comes when you combine it with the fact that you can make absolutely no blade choices. Say what Im saying that you cannot adjust the bladeat allnot even one little bit. Thats what makes this Smart. Set dial a dunce. Read on to see what these two things have to do with each other. Lets say the Smart. Set dial we discussed above is dead on. Its exactly what I need in every situation. Awesome. Well, what if I decide to try something new one day Likecutting cereal boxes. Im likely to try that since their past machines could do it see here and the Silhouette Cameo can do it see here. Ill make all the changes I can to the custom settings. Sweet. I have everything set up perfectly but the blade just wont cut the box. I make crying noises until I realize that my blade just isnt long enough. No worries Ill just set it to go longer Wait. It doesnt move, twist or change in any way. SAD. Ill have to abandon that projector turn to any of my other Cricuts, Silhouette Cameo, Sizzix Eclips or KNK Zing that can cut that like a boss. You cant change the new blade on left but you could change the depth of the old blade on right. Cool factor. The Cricut Explore can cut and draw. Lame factor. The Cricuts always could. The Cricut Explore can cut and draw without you having to change from a blade to a drawing tool. Is that really a big deal Ive been changing from the blade to a pen for years. Its a neat looking gimmick but its just a gimmick. Cricut has made pens and markers to fit their machines for years. Heres the pen that came with the machine writing out a thank you card that came as a complete project in the Cricut Design Space ONLINE ONLY software. It did a great job creating this card. TA DA That was cool. Thumbs up to this easy project. TWO THUMBS DOWN to the user experience with their software when trying to create your own project. Ill keep this short. Its difficult to locate your cartridges. Temple Run Play Over 1000 Games. Theyre missing simple shadowing features. You can achieve a shadow effect but you have to make a bigger image and size it around the smaller one. Thats just old school. No software does things like that anymore and thats just one example. Frankly, theyre missing a lot of simplicity present in other software. Dont even get me started about their lack of logical search features. The back of the machine. Finally, the Cricut Explore it is not a machine that I would recommend to anyone except Cricut users who are not interested in trying a different brand of machine. There are better options for those who want. Take a look at machines like the Silhouette Cameo, Sizzix Eclips or new Sizzix Eclips 2, KNK Zing or new KNK Zing Air machines. Ive heard people say that the Cricut Explore is superb in its cutting ability compared to other Cricut machines.
