Why upgrade?
The Cricut Expression 2 is the easiest machine to use. I love that you don't have to use the overlays and that Provo Craft now has the Craft Room for ideas, etc. I now have four Cricuts and love them all. My hubby won't let me get rid of any of them because he says, "You can never have too many tools." LOL!
I'd heard such rave reviews about this product that I just had to try it. Not sure if I got a dud but I'm not interested in trying another. The touch screen is a joke: some functions work, most do not. Have not successfuly 'cut' anything, and of course, made in China.
Great for Crafting, however the one that was sent to me did not work. I became more and more frustrated. Sent it back for a new one, Keep your fingers crossed that I get one that works !!!
I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this machine and I have to say that the negativity is exaggerated. The noise people talk about is about the same as a computer printer. Not bad at all!! And the preloaded cartridges are enough to keep you going for awhile with just the basics for a while! Amazing buy!!!
Cricut Expression 2 Just when you thought crafting couldn't get any more exciting, Cricut brings you an enhanced version of the Cricut Expression! On the outside it boasts a sleek new look, including a full-color LCD touch screen that makes navigation a breeze. On the inside it's packed with powerful new cutting and sizing features in addition to the ones you may already know and love. To top it off, this version comes preloaded with 2 cartridges and it's compatible with your other Cricut cartridges and Gypsy. The Cricut Expression 2: created for passionate crafters like you.
