I've only had the Expression for about a month and I really love it. No technical problems so far. It really is fun to make such different stuff and build great looking cards and make titles any size for pages. - D Crounse

Bought my wife the Cricut Expressions machine and several cartridges. Suddenly I have lots of free time! She's practically tied to the machine cutting out every which and whatever she can and I've finally caught up on my DVR'd TV programs.
I highly recommend the product for all husbands that want to have more time for themselves. - J Culp

The Cricut Expression is a fantastic tool to have. As a kindergarten teacher, I do a lot of cutting. It has been great not to have to cut out 20 of everything by hand. This machine is very easy to use and fast. I have used the original mat many times and it is still working well. - D Encinas

I purchased the Cricut Expression after testing it with a friend that had just purchased one. I use it constantly! No more cutting out letters by hand for me!!! The letters are precisely cut without tearing. It also cuts designs, tags, and many more shapes too numerous to mention. I recently made Valentine Cards to share with friends using the cartridges that came with the machine and tried out the new color ink cartridges (purchased separately). The lettering was super fantastic! The ink did not smudge and the letters were precisely drawn. A big THANK YOU to this company for making my scrapbooking and card making easier! - Faye Smith
