I've been looking at several cutting machines and I think I've decided on the Cricut Explore Air 2. Just wondering what people who use it think of it? Pros / Cons etc. If you would suggest a different machine please tell me why. Thank you!

Unhelpfully I have a Silhouette Cameo, which I like.
Thank you Marisa. Have you tried Cricut machines? If so, do you prefer the Silhouette?
I have a Silhouette, so I can't help you with a specific comparison (but I found some links that might help you!).
The biggest downside for me personally is that you can only use the Cricut software online, so you need a working internet connection to use the machine. But I've also heard that cricut cuts better so ...

I haven't used a Cricut, so I'm not adding much to this discussion
I did own a Cricut. Gave it to my daughter along with all of the cartridges.
Got a Brother ScanNCut. Love it.
Why the change, the ScanNCut does use clip art. Any that I want to scan in. Will allow one to cut anything that you scan with the machine. Will create and use clip art. In other words I have found more uses for the ScanNCut at a big fraction of the cost.
The Cricut worked great but found it limited and having to spend money for all of the clip art.
