Our take on the Cricut Explore 5 Cutting Machine Bundle with EasyPress SE, Rainbow Smart Vinyl & Iron-On Samplers

A starter bundle built around the Cricut Explore 5 cutting machine, with an EasyPress SE 9x9 heat press, Rainbow Smart Vinyl and Smart Iron-On samplers, and a digital project book. It covers cutting, drawing, card making and heat-transfer work in one set, so a beginner can go from first decal to layered iron-on shirts without buying supplies piecemeal. Against buying the machine alone, the bundle trades a bigger outlay for a heat press and materials that would otherwise be separate purchases. Owners rate it well overall, and the usual caveats are the learning curve of Design Space and the cost of Cricut's own materials.

Questions and answers

What is the difference between the Explore 5 and the Explore 3?
The Explore 5 is the newer model in the line and works with the same Smart Materials mat-free cutting. It is the current entry-level Explore, so it is the one to buy if you are starting fresh rather than upgrading an older machine.
Do I need a mat to cut with this machine?
No mat is needed for Smart Vinyl and Smart Iron-On, which feed through directly. Other materials, such as cardstock, still use a cutting mat.
What can the EasyPress SE 9x9 press?
It covers a 9x9 inch area, enough for shirt fronts, totes and most home decor projects. You set time and temperature yourself on the dial and display.
Is this bundle good for a complete beginner?
Yes. It includes the machine, press, tools and materials, plus a digital book of project ideas, so you can start with labels or decals and work up to layered iron-on.
Does it work with third-party vinyl?
Yes, but non-Cricut vinyl usually needs a cutting mat and its own cut settings. Smart Materials are the mat-free option.
What comes in the box?
The Explore 5 machine, an EasyPress SE 9x9, Rainbow Smart Vinyl and Smart Iron-On samplers, basic tools, and a digital project eBook.
Where is the Cricut Explore 5 Cutting Machine Bundle with EasyPress SE, Rainbow Smart Vinyl & Iron-On Samplers cheapest?
