Our take on the Cricut Joy Xtra

The Cricut Joy Xtra is a compact cutting machine for vinyl, cardstock, iron-on and 50+ materials, aimed at beginners and casual crafters. It cuts up to 4 ft in one pass with Smart Materials and runs at 5.65 in per second, so it handles long decals and labels without a mat. It sits between the smaller Joy and the larger Explore and Maker machines: cheaper and simpler than those, but limited to a 8.5 in wide cutting area and a single fine-point blade. Reviewers like the small footprint and easy setup, while some find the material and tool limits restrictive once projects grow.

Questions and answers

Is the Cricut Joy Xtra worth it for a beginner?
Yes, if you want simple vinyl, cardstock and label projects. It is easier and smaller than an Explore or Maker, but you give up width and tool options.

The Joy Xtra cuts wider material and handles more of the standard Cricut materials. The original Joy is smaller and limited to narrow Smart Materials.

Not for Smart Materials, which feed through directly and cut up to 4 ft. Other materials use a mat.

Vinyl, cardstock, iron-on and 50+ materials with the included Premium Fine-Point Blade. It cannot cut thick materials that need a deep-cut blade.
