Amazing machine!
This little machine is all power! It's so small and portable, I can take it from room to room. I love the color options, it batter matches my creativity! The compatibility of using smart materials is a huge bonus! The cuts are very precise and I have have no trouble with any cuts! I love the versatile projects that I can make on such a little machine! The only downfall, it is loud. It cuts louder than I would expect for a little machine.

Don't Bother Unless This is All You Will Use
I won the Joy 2 in a drawing. At first I was so excited to try it out. Now, I think it'll just be used when I have a small project or need a small piece cut. First of all, there's no power button! It has to unplugged and plugged in to use. Not practical if your outlets are behind furniture, so you'd have to pull the cord from the unit itself, and then find it when you want to use the machine again. Second, there's no way to do a second cut like there is on the big machines. Everything is definitely NOT going to cut perfectly the first time, so the only way to be sure is to duplicate your design and align it with the original design so it cuts twice. Third, I hate the blade coming permanently set in the housing with no way to push it out even a bit to clean the blade, let alone clear debris. Luckily, the original Joy blades and housing also fit the Joy 2, so I'm stocking up on those. I was under the impression that I could use my original Cricut pens in this with the adapter. The adapter is only for using the new universal pens in the big machines, so my original pens will only work in my big machines. I refuse to buy more pens in universal or Joy sizes, so that, too, limits the use of the Joy 2. I don't want to have to have two sets of pens because I already have a collection of the original pens. I'm just glad I didn't pay for this machine.

Compact, cute, blue 💙
I debated whether to get this or not, mainly because my maker 3 can do everything this can. Ultimately, I couldn't resist and purchased it. It is so cute and now I know I can create on the go...it just opened new opportunities for me with its compact portable size. I love the color. Ive made a few cards with it so far, fast and easy, then I cut iron-on to customize a hat for my son. Very happy with my purchase so far.

Compact Awesome Machine
Love my Cricut Joy 2!! I’ve never used a Cricut before and now that I scrapbook, I saw use for it with shapes and cutouts on cardstock, only to find out it can write and draw!

Joy 2
I value the convenience of having a smaller version for smaller projects, as well as the portability that allows it to be easily carried wherever it is needed.

Great for an additional machine.
I really like my Cricut Joy 2! It’s so cute in coral and great for portability and quick, small projects. However, I will say that if I purchased this machine asa first machine before I purchased my Explore 4, then I would have been turned off if Cricut products because this machine is a bit slow; I would have rather had an option to hook it up to a computer. Also, I would have preferred that there would be power and load /unload buttons. These are easy to overlook because it isn’t my main machine.

Love this little powerhouse
Powerful and multifunctional. I have it on my desk at school and have used it on so many projects already. The print and cut ability was the game changer! Accurate and fast.

Fast, simple, easy
I love my new cricut joy 2 , I have the marker 3. But the cricut joy 2, is so great for simple projects. Small details that you don’t need the bigger machine for. Love them both. Hopefully once back in stock I will be gifting my mother one. 10/10

Love my Joy 2
I bought this as a second machine. I also own a maker 3. I love my maker 3 but wanted a little machine to get out for just little crafts as i do not have a designated crafting room. Plus I really wanted one! I love this little crafting helper! I use it often for cards, decals etc. And have also used it and my maker 3 for the same project, cutting the smaller things with my joy 2 and the bigger things with my maker 3. If you are on the fence about getting a joy 2 i would highly recommend.
