Joy Xtra | Smart Cutting Machine Starter Bundle | 2025

It’s brilliant! It cuts, it draws, it does exactly as it says on the tin. And for the price, for home projects you probably won’t find a cheaper alternative with lasting quality. With any technology with a lot of moving parts, expect some technical issues and with anything using Bluetooth, expect connection problems but it shouldn’t put you off. Their tech support is top quality, happy to send a replacement should you need one, but they work hard to resolve the issue over the phone. I’ve had a couple problems, but fixed easily with guidance. It works way better with a computer rather than a mobile. You get more problems using a mobile. 99% of the time I’ve had no issues since I started using a computer which they recommend to me. I use this thing a lot so I’m happy with how well it’s held up so far.

Great machine with many possibilities, no clear instructions so learning from youtube and pinterest. I did have a 1to 1 as I struggled with finding things on the design space. Unfortunately, so did the tutor until she realised I had bang upto date software, then it became easier. A lot of learning to do for more complex but made several things from little knowledge.

I’m really pleased with this cutter. I upgraded from a silhoette machine. There is lots you can do with it, and it is fun to use and experiment. I love that it is small, but good for A4 sized cutting, which is what I use most. It is easy to use with Bluetooth connection from my IPad or phone. It came with a good selection of products to practice with. There are instructions online, and through the cricut app. You get one months free subscription to cricut access - that was helpful, as it gave me a good idea of things I can make, you can use it without the subscription once you have the hang of things. I have made lots of packaging, some vinyl cuts, some Christmas decorations.

Late night purchase, arrived next day! Excellent service & best price online for bundle (currently). I already have a cricut, but the size of this one is more handier for my needs. I love how it is remotely done via ur phone, no buttons on this machine. It came with smart iron on, smart permanent vinyl and more to try out.

Was excited to start using this and had a family project i wanted to use it for. Immediately getting it out of the box it wouldn't maintain connection via Bluetooth. It would find devices then immediately lose connection. I followed all the troubleshooting guides and would not get it to work. I went to Redit and its apparently a common problem, so I found and unpaired all the devices I have and turned off the WiFi as seemingly Cricut's bluetooth connection is so poor it gets overpowered by any other signal. Still no joy, the Cricut was sat next to all the devices I tried with it and whilst all could find it none could maintain a connection. It's not fit for purpose and clearly has long standing bluetooth options. So its being returned. Really disappointed as was looking forward to using it and think the idea of product is great.

Love this so many possibilities for projects. Fast delivery

My machine keeps making a clicking sound at some points and sounds like it will break

Still learning a bout it but seem good
