Help! Fiskars Fuse, Grand Calibur or what to buy?

[Lynnie1]

Help! I'm interested in buying a paper crafting machine for our granddaughter, new school teacher, and I just don't know what to buy! The Fiskars Fuse looks pretty good, but I've heard good things about the Grand Calibur, but there is also a Cricut Expression type machine. I don't know what to buy? Any help and advice? Thanks!

If she is into paper crafting, perhaps you could ask her which one she would like.

Some of the machines you listed are manually operated die-cutting machines, and you need to buy dies to use with them.

The Cricut brand machines are electronic cutting machines that work from cartridges or online cutting files.
