Our take on the Cricut Explore 3 - Smart Cutting Machine with Easy Printables sensor

The Cricut Explore 3 is a desktop cutting machine for vinyl decals, stickers, cards and heat-transfer T-shirts. It cuts and draws on a wide range of materials and can cut two times faster than the Explore Air 2, with a longer 12-inch cut width and mat-free Smart Materials support. It runs through the free Design Space app over Bluetooth, so no design experience is needed. It suits crafters moving up from a basic machine; the Maker line adds rotary and knife blades for thicker materials, which the Explore 3 lacks.

Questions and answers

Is the Explore 3 worth it over the Explore Air 2?
It cuts faster, has a wider 12-inch cut width and supports mat-free Smart Materials. If you mostly cut vinyl and iron-on, it is the better pick; the Air 2 covers basic jobs for less.
How is it different from the Cricut Maker?
The Maker adds rotary and knife blades for fabric, leather and thicker materials. The Explore 3 handles vinyl, paper, card and iron-on well but not those heavy materials.
Do I need the internet to use it?
Yes. It works through the Design Space app, which needs a Bluetooth-capable device and a high-speed internet connection.
What can it cut?
Vinyl, iron-on, cardstock, paper and other compatible materials. Tools and materials are sold separately, and the full list is on Cricut's site.
Can it cut without a mat?
Yes, with Cricut Smart Materials, which feed through without a mat. Other materials still need a cutting mat.
Is it suitable for kids?
No. Cricut states the Explore 3 is not intended for children 12 and younger.
Where is the Cricut Explore 3 - Smart Cutting Machine with Easy Printables sensor cheapest?
