Great size for any room in the house
I love the compact size that I can easily take anywhere in my home. I’m very happy to see the Joy xtra and the new Joy 2! The Joy is just as precise in it’s cutting as my Maker is.

Joy Issues
Your website is not easy. Had trouble connecting my new Joy. Your techs were no help. Very awkward to work on my cell phone. It will not work with my tablet. My other Joy used to work with my tablet, then it quit working with my tablet. Again cell phone is awkward to maneuver in your website.

Cricut Joy – Small Machine, Big Creativity!
I absolutely love my Cricut Joy! Don’t let the small size fool you — this little machine is a crafting powerhouse. It’s incredibly compact and lightweight, which makes it perfect for small spaces and easy to store when not in use. Setup is quick and simple, and Design Space is easy to use. Within minutes of unboxing you can be cutting custom vinyl decals and personalized labels. It’s perfect for making greeting cards, organizing labels, small home décor projects, and even heat transfer designs for shirts. One of my favorite features is how precise and clean the cuts are. Whether I’m working with vinyl, cardstock, or iron-on material, the results look professional every time. I also love that it works with Smart Materials, so I can cut without a mat for certain projects — such a time saver! If you’re new to crafting or want a convenient machine for quick, everyday projects, Cricut Joy is a fantastic choice. It’s affordable, easy to use, and delivers amazing results. Highly recommend!

Cricut Joy Bundle
I am glad I got the bundle. I've been able to learn and use it as soon as I opened it. The insert cards and vinyl were a good bargain.

Easy to use
It is fun to use and doesn't take up much space. When I want to make a greeting card I use my Joy.

there's no JOY with my JOY
The fact that the Joy is designed for Bluetooth -only. Most of the time, there's an issue getting connected and staying connected. That's why I rarely use my Joy. I bought it for doing smaller projects. I'm having to use my maker instead.

The joy machine is a great starter .
Compact and efficient and easy to use . Very excited to receive one as a gift . Does take up much room and good investment if you are unable to purchase a larger cricut . The Joy is versatile if this is the only one you can afford .

Amazing
I bought the Joy because I was starting up a small business and honestly I just couldn’t afford the larger machines. This little machine does not disappoint! The design space is super easy to use and the machine itself is very lightweight and easy to use. I have since upgraded to the maker 4, and now the kiddos are using the Joy. I highly recommend this machine for anyone starting out just trying to get their foot in the door or for kids! Happy crafting!
