Loving it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to setup and use. Lots to choose from in the design space and works with a lot of different materials. Perfect gift for a creative in your life.

A Misery Making Toy
Useless for anything intricate and precise. It's a toy and can't be used for anything serious. There are no controls for speed and precision.

My new Maker 5.
I’m very happy with the Maker 5. I have never had a cutting machine before. It’s a lot of fun and relaxing to do other projects from other people. There are a lot of people with big imaginations. I love making cards. I’m doing so much more now that I have the maker 5. Thank you Cricut. P.S. I’m looking forward to trying all of the materials available to me with my new Maker 5.

Cricut Maker 5
Love my new Cricut Maker 5. Very happy with the crisp, clean and fast cuts. Really like that I load the mat, and it starts cutting, the "load and go" kind of feature. One less step. So far I have only cut cardstock and Cricut vinyl. Very impressed and looking forward to using it for engraving. While some may not like the lighter feel to the machine, I appreciate the smaller size and lighter weight. Really like that Cricut is always improving. This I believe is my 7th Cricut cutting machine, and by far the best in my opinion.

Loving it!😍
I love it still learning but it’s so fast and I love the versatility of this machine. I loved my Cricut Joy Xtra but I’m going to stay in love with my Cricut 5 for a long time.

Haven’t had time to really try it
I really haven’t been able to use it much yet, very busy life right now. But I have heard some bad things and everyone is telling me to keep my older cricut because I will need it.

Maker five
Although the Maker five is pretty quick when cutting regular card stock, I am disappointed in the quality of the machine. I like the drawer on the cricket Maker much better. It holds my tools quite well whereas the Maker five is not as deep and I can’t keep all my tools in it. It also makes a clunking sound at times and I can’t figure out why when it’s running and cutting regular card stock I think the Maker three constructed better quality.

Cricut 5
I love my cricut 5! I couldn’t believe the precise cutting. I got a new printer too so crafting is fun. The speed is great. It cuts so many things but I probably won’t be cutting half of the options. But you never know. The only thing negative is it takes a very long time for design space to open. Then it’s slow getting to my projects. “Make it” takes quite a while to open up to cut. Otherwise, the machine is wonderful. I love cricut & have since my very 1st cricut about 10 years ago.

Best Birthday Present Ever!
I got this for my birthday after my husband caught me sneaking peeks at it frequently. I couldn't be happier with this amazing gift, especially since he 'swung for the fences' and got the Ultimate Bundle. There are tons of awesome products to create with; it is such a versatile machine set. Also, the mini press it came with has turned out to be incredibly useful for smaller projects like hats, bags, scarves, cosmetic bags, etc. I am also loving all the blades/tools that came with it. I am 100% HAPPY with the Cricut Maker 5 Ultimate Bundle!!

Undecided
Like the speed as I’m upgrading from the original Maker. Don’t like the fact that it doesn’t close up completely and as a result had to purchase a dust cover. Don’t like the fact there is no on/off switch and have to unplug it at the end of the day. That is NOT convenient. Wish I had gone with the Maker 4!

Great kit.
I love my maker 5, I also love my explore 5. They do what I need them to do. I have the Cricut access subscription which is well worth the money too.

Should have researched better
If I had realized that not one accessory I already had would be usable with the Maker 5 I never would have bought it. I feel like cricut is just making a money grab.

Faster Than a Speeding Bullet (well almost)
I love it so much. It’s so much faster than my Maker 3 and the compact size is great

It's Ok.
While a bit faster, it's definitely not made as sturdy as the original Maker I replaced (but had recently quit working due to bad rollers). The "go" button is already getting stuck in the down positon (and I've used it three times). Overall, I wish my OG Maker still worked.

Upgrade for speed
I have the original so the main upgrade is speed here. I do find it annoying I have to switch out the tools for scoring/cutting when there are so many iterations cricut could have incorporated in Maker 5. Overall, good purchase.

Maker 5
My first Cricut machine. I’m very happy with maker 5 so far. I’m not having any issues. I’m still learning how to use all the things it can do.

Not like described
I purchased the maker 5 for several reasons, size as well as the machine being able to cut up to 3 mm balsa wood. I was never able to even load a strong grip mat because an error message would occur! It was not cutting vinyl all the way through and my print and cut was wayyy off! I have the maker 4 as well as Joy extra (which I love) but for my small business I needed something extra. I was extremely disappointed. I tried everything!! I have owned Cricut products for years starting with the Maker and up. The 5 has been such a disappointment. I have it listed for sale and am buying the siser Romeo. If you have older models, stick with those!

Worth the price
It cuts fine details in vinyl and paper. I cut a intricate paper heart and it cut everything beautifully. The mat that comes with it has great sticking power. There are no limits to what this machine can cut. I am looking forward to trying to engrave blanks. Just waiting for the them to arrive.
