Best Cricut in 2021

What machine is good this year? I won't be a heavy user and would like to have One that's not too expensive.

You can get the Explore Air 2 for a very good price at most online sites. I know that HSN usually has great bundles. Since the Explore Air 3 and Maker 3 are the newest models, the "older" ones have gone down in price.

I have the original Maker, since I am a heavy user, and I don't feel the need to upgrade to the Maker 3 - especially since I've had mine for just under a year.

Have fun with whatever machine you get!

Thank you

My hubby surprised me with the Maker last week (not the Maker 3) and he told me he got it as a bundle at Costco. It certainly seems to have a lot of things in it. Now, I'm watching a lot of YouTube videos to learn how to use it.

Have fun! Gosh after looking at the prices of the materials I'm begining to wonder if I want to get one

You don't have to use the Cricut brand materials. Many other brands work just as well.

Congratulations! You're going to have a lot of fun! I watch a lot of Jennifer Maker's videos and find them very informative and helpful.
