Happy with my Explore 5!

I recently upgraded my Explore 2 to the 5. My 2 lasted me 6 years of heavy use and never let me down. I am a big fan of your machines and I have used the software since the beginning. Very easy to use, a worthwhile monthly expense. Now, as for the Explore 5, WOW! So FAST! I do lots of print then cuts and it reads the guide lines in seconds. I used to sit down when waiting for a print then cut, but not anymore as it's ready so quickly. I have cut cardstock, paper, stickers, vinyl and HTV since getting this new machine and everything has cut great! I ran a sign making workshop this summer for a group of friends and I designed everyone's lettering in Design Space and cut it all in advance of the workshop. The tools you guys provide made it easy and everyone loves their signs. I am a happy Cricut user and will continue to be!

Fantastic Explore 5 first used in July 2026

I love the Explore 5! I have all of the other machines with the exception of the Venture. I was so surprised by the speed of the Explore 5. It's quiet too. I needed to use the print then cut feature, however I couldn't find the instructions on calibrating it. Ha! You don't need to calibrate, it cut perfectly the first time. This machine is compatible with both my IPhone and laptop. It's easy to switch back and forth between the 2.

My new Explore 5

I needed to replace my Explore Air 2 and found this great bundle on sale for an amazing price! The Explore 5 is the first machine I've had that cuts so quickly! It's quick yet super precise! The only downsides I have found about the Explore 5 is that it only takes the special new pen, and I have to switch between the scoring tool and the blade. But so far that hasn't set me back too badly. I've used Cricut machines since 2007, I've tried most all of the new machines as they come out, and I am very pleased with the Explore 5!
