5.0 out of 5 stars Very Happy With This
I wanted an electronic cutter after straining myself with my regular manual Big Shot making many cuts on thick paper. So I took a chance on this even though I haven't heard much about it. This one has worked as I wanted, but I did have to make an alteration. The magnetic cutting platform is a game changer on the regular Big Shot and I could not find one for this size machine. I think probably they can't make it cost effective. I saw on a YouTube video someone just using a thin magnet sheet. I had magnet sheets on hand for die storage so I tried that. It worked great! Without it, the machine doesn't cut worth a darn. But lay a thin magnet sheet down and it's magic. Just enough of a shim. Now I've been cutting all my favorite dies with one pass and 8.5. x 11 sheet. It's a game changer how many I can cut in a shorter period of time. If you use a regular Big Shot, you get it: the small platform, cutting your paper down, can only do a few dies at a time. And now I just store the dies I want to use together on an 8.5 x 11 magnet sheet and it's ready to go. I bought multiple sets of the dies I love so I can get it done faster and more efficiently. I absolutely love how this cuts foil cardstock. No shims required if you use the magnet sheet. I bought the 8.5 x 11 magnet sheets from Marietta because that is the brand I had on hand and what I tried. I also keep the machine on a rolling cart so I can swivel it around to remove the platform. I highly recommend investing in a rolling cart that can swivel. Otherwise a large machine like this takes up a lot of room because it needs clearance on both sides for the large platform to pass through AND you will have to get up and go around to the back to remove the platform each time. Also it is handy to just keep the machine and platform and plates and paper all together. So if you need an larger tray electronic machine, I do recommend this one alone with a magnetic sheet (which you do not stick down to anything, you just lay it on the plate and lay down your dies on it facing upward. It holds your dies in place and makes the perfect thickness of a shim.) https://www.Bolo.com/Marietta-Magnetics-Adhesive-Sheets-Flexible/dp/B079N9KXH3/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=2G5GCEYHVWSLJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.rmC9g2cDb1ZHKRkeUcEnftXmmGDjEgDaVAmJbbd45wcguLOwvnI848ZV98HghosDY3Z5xudgD0F7xgKF8riHa2oXLLrsBWHXn10GQgw55Ki3ESDNaAWiFlz1pPhxqojyDSWWt1TWWqOnBTDMxJFmNGY7DD7FaAAAc9a8JLe8kiFrTD4VDJ9x7Y_q8PDpAVMgQTWdMsfmOjdQncel-XjWlTOjDXCbXhGn511rf01YOZ7n9n5AzBD0FUwlMfasO8gFRztd8xFA5KCq31Wrlw1vTXl7bTdZueDsJBXjraK3jsk.CrC2oigLagBOOYNdqJ0Qm5yFG2teb1_nBTEQQwsAVjI&dib_tag=se&keywords=marietta+magnetics&qid=1716830078&sprefix=marriett%2Caps%2C752&sr=8-4
5.0 out of 5 stars Great product.
Love it. It's quiet so I can work when others are asleep. I read through the instructions, set it up and off I went. How easy. If you are thinking that it will be complicated, don't worry at all. I purchased it because I was having trouble cranking it through. The only problem is that sometimes a die may need to go through twice depending on the cardstock used or the die is really intricate or the die is inferior. But, no biggie because it's easy to run it through again or simply reverse the machine. I'm so very glad I have it and just in time for Christmas cards and tag season.

Like it
4.0 out of 5 stars Plates warp right away.
I really like the fact this the machine is electric and was pretty excited to try it out. The first time I used it, the top plate warped quite a bit, and left an impression of what I cut on the plate, which is normal. But the impression was deep. (I followed instructions as far as the sandwich building goes.) So I ran a different die thru the machine just to see what the plates would do, my previous cut was embedded in the sheet of cardstock! Beware, your previous cuts may show up on what you are sending thru the machine. I don't know if I am doing something wrong, so I am experimenting with different ways to send dies thru, but the damage has already been done to the plates. I don't know if the more they get used, the impressions will wear down. I would've given this product 5 stars, but not happy with the plates-may have to purchase a new set and start over. I know they will warp some, but I would say this is excessive-maybe because they are bigger plates? It embosses great! I had issues cranking the manual machine when I tried using 3D folders, so I didn't use my embossing folders at all. But now I use them more often, which is a win for me.Easy to set up and use. You do need a lot of space where the plates go in and come out, but all I had to do was rearrange a few things on my crafting counter.Overall, a good machine. It would be nice if you could just order the machine without the dies and folder that come with it, to keep the cost down. I have several dies and embossing folders in my stash so I didn't really need more. If that is available, I missed it-my error.
1.0 out of 5 stars It does not work and now I have to find a box in able to return it.
It is bad. I once had the manual version and it was a pain. In order for the die cuts to work I had to put them through at least 10 times! it did emboss well.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works as designed
I have to keep the directions handy as using it is a bit complicated. Eventually I will know how to use it for each application.Some embossing folders I can't seem to get configured correctly and they won't go through.
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy yo operate
This machine is quiet, efficient and easy to use. There are excellent videos on YouTube ti help you use it. It has an auto protection feature that keeps you from entering a sandwich of die cutting plates that is too thick.
3.0 out of 5 stars I wouldn’t buy again…..😔
My previous cutting machine by Tim Holtz was The Vagabond and it was amazing! I looked for The Vagabond 1 and 2, both discontinued…why, I don’t know. This new machine doesn’t grab the Bigz die easily, I have to slightly shove it through. I do like the 9 inch clearance but it makes the smaller dies run off track a bit. I wouldn’t buy this machine again…..
Satisfecho
Sigue trabajando. Sin problemas.
This machine is great but service from vendor was poor
This is a very useful fun product. I can cut with my dies much easier and I am thrilled with the results. I have a manual Sizzix but with my physical limitations it was getting harder to use My only complaint is the first machine had a defect which happens (seldom). And the vendor made me pay to return it as I live in Canada. That was an expensive extra. Sissix itself is an excellent company and prides themselves with on excellent customer service.
Definitely loven it.
Love the slim design. A good workhorse .
Excelente
Me encantó. Demasiado cómodo y sencilla de usar. Muy recomendable.
Satisfait
Je suis très satisfait de la machine elle-même. Fonctionne très bien. Mais une déception: les deux (2) plaques de découpe n’étaient pas “normales”. Elles (les 2) avaient plusieurs taches de colle ou autre produit que je ne suis pas parvenu à enlever (même pas un peu). J’ai essayé différents nettoyeurs (y compris de l’essence à briquet) mais rien n’a fonctionné…Je crois que la boite avait été ouverte car le petit rabat du couvercle était soulevé et déchré. Mais pour la balance, suis satisfait. Agréable à utiliser.
