Not feeling it
I'm giving my honest, non creative, or influencer review. This is simply from a woman that loves to craft. I have checked out everyone else's reviews, and unboxing videos and all of that, and I said I wasn't going to upgrade or buy another one because I didn't see the need. However, my conscience got the best of me and I went to Michael's yesterday (9/9/26) and bought the bundle. I brought it home, unboxed, and played. When I made my first project (using the paper I already had btw), I immediately was disappointed. I did not like that loud "Ker-plunk" noise it makes when it would do it's thing. I also, do not like the open top concept at all. I'm not wanting to buy a dust cover or a microfiber cloth just to keep it dust free on a daily basis. I'd rather you had changed the design of the cover. I knew I didn't like it when I first saw it, but I wanted to be open-minded and just give it a chance. It's not happening. I'm okay with them taking away the little cup holder that's on the other makers/explorers, but where is the power button? Could've at least kept that, the pens, I don't like because you need to use their new "Universal" pens that haven't even come out yet to my knowledge. Anyway, Cricut, I'm returning it to Michaels. I hope you take this seriously, and go back to the drawing board on this one. I think you missed the mark on this. I'll stick with my maker 4. I love that one. And that's my VERY first Cricut machine.

The best tool you'll ever have for all youcrafting
I do not have this machine yet, but I have owned a circuit since the very first one came out on payments on an infomercial more than 20 years ago. I have upgraded to the newest one Everytime a new one was released. Sadly I had to sell it, and almost everything of value I had , to get a life saving surgery for my daughter due to COVID vaccine injuries, but never imagined how list I would be without it. So much so that this promotional advertisement I just read and watched brought me to tears, lol, i know it's just a machine. But I promise that if you are any kind of crafter you want a cricut! And once you have used one you will be hooked for life! It is the absolute best tool for all your crafting needs guaranteed. Im praying things will get back to normal so that I can purchase another one, Lord knows I'm lost without it! I absolutely, 1000% recommend these products.

Impressed!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cricut Maker 5 Review The Cricut Maker 5 is such a fun upgrade for anyone who loves crafting! I’ve been using Cricut machines for years, and I love how much you can do with the Maker line. It cuts an impressive variety of materials, from everyday vinyl and cardstock to thicker specialty materials, so there’s really no shortage of projects you can make. What I especially love is the versatility. Whether I’m making paper crafts, signs, stickers, home décor, or something completely random that I just decided I need to make, the Maker 5 gives me a lot of options without needing a bunch of different machines. It’s also really nice having a machine that can grow with you as you learn new techniques. If you’re someone who likes trying different materials and projects, this is definitely a machine I’d recommend looking at. Overall, I’m really impressed with the Cricut Maker 5. It’s versatile, capable, and makes it way too easy to keep adding projects to my “I’m totally going to make this” list. 😂 If you’re considering upgrading your Cricut or getting your first Maker, the Maker 5 is definitely worth checking out!

Wow, blown away by the speed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The machine is fast. That's the first thing I noticed. Is speed. I have done engraving on 3mm acrylic, cutting insert cards, cutting permanent vinyl and cuting smart iron on vinyl. And everything has been precise and fast. I am amazed. The consistency of the cut is great, though I have not done more then 2 cuts of the same material, I will definitely be using this machine more than my others! (I have the maker 3, joy 2, joy Xtra and have previously owned the joy.) This machine is so nice in comparison!

The Best of Both Worlds
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Maker 5 gives me the speed and ease I love about the Explore 5, with the advanced capabilities I expect from a Maker. The cutting is fast and precise, and the engraving on my project came out beautifully with great detail and consistency. I really appreciate the precision of the machine and the versatility to move from everyday projects to more advanced materials and techniques. It feels familiar and easy to use right out of the box, and I absolutely love the blue color!

One Machine, So Many Possibilities
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had a chance to put this machine through its paces, and I can officially say—I love it! So far I’ve cut Iron-On, permanent vinyl, made cards, created keychains, and engraved with it. I wanted to try a good variety of projects before really sharing my thoughts, and this machine has handled everything beautifully. It’s easy to use, incredibly versatile, and I love having the ability to go from making a simple vinyl project or card to engraving a completely different type of project. And I have to mention the color—the blue is absolutely beautiful! I also really love the Essential Bundle. This isn’t one of those bundles where you get a couple of extras and immediately need to start shopping for everything else. It comes with enough materials to make dozens of projects, plus a Card Mat, LightGrip Mat, weeder, scraper, spatula, portable trimmer, scoring tool, and engraving tool. I especially like that the scoring and engraving tools are included because they give you even more project possibilities right from the start. You can make cards, work with vinyl and Iron-On, and then turn around and try something completely different like engraving.

Wonderful New Machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the Maker 5 for a month now, and it has done everything I have asked of it. The engraving tool that it came with is amazing; I have had so much fun engraving things. The Maker 5 has cut every material I have tried with precision: cardstock, vinyl, stickers, craft foam, chipboard, cardboard, felt, and wood veneer. Everything has cut perfectly every time.

Maker 5 opened my eyes to the world of engraving
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely LOVE my Maker machines, although Maker 5 has brought so much more to my crafting table with the ability to work with thicker materials (now up to 3mm), precision cutting, and faster cutting speeds consistently which is appreciated for my limited crafting time. Engraving has become something that I have added to my Cricut journey lately and I'm super excited to explore and create more with my Maker 5 . . . bring on more inspiration to create beautiful things.

It can do thicker materials!!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love that this machine can do thicker materials!!! That opens up so many more material possibilities. The cuts have been perfect. I was wondering how they would be with the speed of this machine. They have been great. If you are looking for a new machine this is the one to get.

Engraving, cutting, foiling, oh my!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the new Cricut Maker 5, and I have to say, I'm really impressed. So far I've cut vinyl, iron-on, cardstock, fabric, leather, faux suede, veneer, chipboard, corrugated plastic, and so much more. Everything has cut beautifully, cut settings are spot on. I even tested some designs with incredibly tiny details, and I was amazed that it could even cut them and did so so cleanly. Just zips around cutting and drawing effortlessly. I did another foiling project with the best results I've had. The first thing I noticed is that it's a little smaller than the previous Maker models. I also love that there's no lid to open in top, so I can keep a shelf right above it. It's a great space saver if your craft room is anything like mine. Another feature I didn't think I'd love as much as I do is the single load/unload button. One button does it all, making it quicker. And can we talk about the Deep Slate color? I honestly wasn't sure about it at first, but now I'm obsessed. It looks so much prettier in person than I expected! So naturally I had to order all the matching tools, lol. The Maker 5 also comes with the engraving tip when you buy it, which is awesome. I've engraved acrylic, metal, and leather, and every project has turned out beautifully. If you haven't engraved before with your Maker, you must with this! There is so much you can engrave and they make such great gifts. The Print Then Cut accuracy has also been spot on from the start. Every one of my projects has lined up perfectly and it scans and begins to cut quick! Overall, Cricut made a lot of small improvements that really add up and somehow saved on teh cost, which I was happy to see. The Maker 5 takes up less space, costs less, comes with more then previous models and has handled everything I've thrown at it. It's quickly become one of my favorite machines, and I can't wait to see what else I can create with it!

Beautiful Mchine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, the new Cricut Maker 5 is beautiful! It is sleek and takes up less space than the previous models. It is way faster, especially with the new autoload. I love how it takes in the mat and cuts right away without needing the press the play button a second time. The new Maker 5 is also able to cut and engrave up thicker materials. The essential bundle also came with so much new materials that you can create right away. The cuts are consistent and precise. It's a great new addition to the Cricut family!

Check out the Maker 5
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried many different materials with the new Maker 5. I have cut tooled leather for purse charms, Cricut Chipboard to create a Celebration Puzzle with the knife blade for my upcoming wedding anniversary, cutting Cricut Felt using the rotary blade for Christmas ornaments and so much more. The speed of the Maker 5 is amazing compared to the other machines.

Cricut Maker 5 A True Upgrade for Makers!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the privilege of trying out the brand‑new Cricut Maker 5 in exchange for my honest review, and I can confidently say this machine is a solid 5 stars. Cricut absolutely understood the assignment with this one. The upgrades from the Maker 4 are incredible the increased cutting depth alone opens up a whole new world of materials, and the engraving feature is a total game changer. The machine itself is noticeably quicker, smoother, and more precise, which makes crafting feel effortless. The new bundle options are fantastic, too. Right out of the box, I was able to make cards, shirts, and wall décor for my home and I still have plenty of supplies left to keep creating. It’s the kind of machine that inspires you the moment you turn it on. If you’re a maker who loves versatility, speed, and beautifully upgraded features, the Cricut Maker 5 is absolutely worth it. This is the machine that makes you excited to craft again.

The Star of the Show!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent the Maker 5 from Cricut to test and give my honest thoughts. The Cricut Maker is the best machine for those who love to cut and use different types of materials! The Cricut Maker 5 has been redesigned to use a smaller footprint yet still gives the most precise cuts with the widest variety of materials. I love the new color and design, and the smaller size. Even though it is smaller, it definitely packs more punch! The increased cut depth of materials is amazing. Most blanks purchased are 3mm and now the Maker 5 can cut that thickness. It may not sound like much but going from 2 to 3mm really opens up the possibilities to new materials. One of my new favorites is 3mm corrugated plastic! I love being able to make signs that can go out in the yard and I don't have to worry about weather. I created a cute goose to add to my planter in my walkway. Engraving on a Maker has always been possible but with the Maker 5, the engraving is sooo much faster! It is an incredible way to personalize ornaments, leather, and aluminum! With the thicker ability to engrave, it opens up more possibilities to create some amazing projects. I engraved a no soliciting sign for my front door (also with a goose - see the theme here?) I also engraved a beautiful acrylic light for my daughter's wedding and the Maker 5 really did an amazing job with the engraving of all sorts! I have created cards, stickers, cut vinyl, chipboard, basswood, fabric - every material I could get my hands on, and the Maker 5 gave me high quality results with both speed and consistency like no other machine I have used! Cricut has added the load and go and the quick scan for the print then cut feature like they have for the Explore machine. This is the top of the line machine from Cricut and if you are looking to start out or upgrade, this is the machine for you. For beginners, do not be intimidated by the ability to cut and engrave more advanced materials. This machine can easily handle all the beginner projects and as you get comfortable and ready to try new things, it is ready for you! If you own an original Maker, the upgrade to this not only gives you the speed upgrade, but also the thicker material ability - which is a great upgrade from the 3 and 4. All of this with the added bonus of saving space and that is a great plus for our craft space! The Maker 5 is the most versatile and precise machine Cricut has to offer. Even though some would consider it a more advanced cutting machine, it is a great starting machine that gives you room to grow, and is my absolute favorite Cricut machine with the multitude of materials it can cut.
