All I can say is that this machine has made my scrapbooking life a million times easier and way more fun!! I do not have the patience to cut everything by hand and now I don’t have to. Thank you provo craft for such an amazing machine.

I love the Cricket Expression! There is so much it can do! The cartridges can be pricey, but there are sales, etc and I haven’t paid full price yet. I love the ability to size my designs to fit the page I am working on and the ability to create words or designs that coordinate perfectly with the layout I am working on, because I choose the papers to use. There is so much it can do, I seem to learn something new every month. There are lots of online tutorials to expand your knowledge on this product. There are lots of accessories too, which make great additions to my “I want” gift list. The cartridges included in this bundle are good beginner cartridges, so you can begin to use it right out of the box.

I bought the Expression about 2 years ago. I used it about 5-6 times within the first 3 months of owning it. I had the “sticky” mat problem, but kept trying. I got busy with life and put the machine in the box and thought I would get back to it. About a year passed and I pulled it out again. This time I could not get any power to it. I tried a friend’s power cord and still nothing. I called and wrote Provo Craft to see if I could send it in for repair. I am willing to pay to fix it! But guess what? There is no place to send it! Do you believe it. I spend close to $400 on this piece of *#*# ! If there is anyone out there who can help, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

We ordered this for our daughter for Christmas 2008. It arrived very promptly, but not sure we got the extras that we thought we were getting. Description says 2 cartridges, but not which ones. We received one cartridge and a toolkit. Tried Amazon first, told to contact Cricut
. We never did get response from Cricut
, I read on their website how bad the company customer service department really is in returning emails. GOOD NEWS is that our daughter (who is 20) loves the Cricut
Machine and has been using it nonstop to scrapbook. She said “easy to use and does what it claims to”. We just hope that we don’t have any problems because it sounds like we would get NO HELP FROM Cricut

Here’s what my neighbor had to say about it: “I use it some, but the cartridges are expensive and you never seem to have exactly what you want. I have not purchased the Sure Cuts A Lot software that allows you to cut any image and all True Type fonts without cartridges, but I am thinking about it. The main thing I DO NOT like is that when you cut a word (you can “weld” the letters together so it all comes out in one piece) getting glue onto it is really difficult. When I use my Xyron to apply adhesive, it leaves a lot of residue between the letters. My recommendation would be to set aside the $300 and use it to buy lots of Jolie embellishments and other premade items. Check out the SCAL Yahoo forums to see that software before deciding.”
