Our Cricut Maker 4 review gave it a very respectable four stars out of five. Calling it “as crafty as you want to be.” It’s a “worthy upgrade to Cricut’s astonishing cutting machines,” by being faster and more precise than earlier models. Our reviewer was able to “produce artistic and professional crafts, clothes and decorations that [they] could never have made without this machine.”
The Design Space software needs some work, but power through it, and you get precise, professional results. It’s a “must-have for chronic crafters.” Expect to devote plenty of time to it to get the best results, but the Cricut Maker 4 will come into its own once you have a project in mind. Being able to cut thicker material than your average Cricut, such as wood and leather, is a huge advantage, too.
