Our take on the Cricut Joy Xtra Smart Die-Cutting Machine

The Cricut Joy Xtra is a compact smart cutting machine that cuts, writes, draws and foils. It sits between the tiny original Joy and the larger Explore and Maker machines: wider than the Joy, so it handles full-color stickers, custom cards, T-shirts and vinyl decals, but it still fits on a small desk. It uses the free Design Space app and Cricut's card mats and Smart Materials. Reviewers like the small footprint and quick setup; the common complaints are the narrow cutting width, the reliance on Cricut's own materials and app, and the learning curve for new users.

Questions and answers

How is the Joy Xtra different from the original Cricut Joy?
The Joy Xtra is wider, so it cuts larger stickers, cards and vinyl sheets. The original Joy is smaller and limited to narrow cuts.
How does it compare with the Cricut Explore?
The Joy Xtra is smaller and cheaper to own, but the Explore cuts wider and handles more materials. Choose the Joy Xtra for space and simple projects, the Explore for larger work.
Do I need a mat to use it?
Some Cricut Smart Materials cut without a mat. Paper, cardstock and other materials need a mat, and the machine uses its own card mat sizes.
What comes in the box?
The machine, a Premium Fine-Point Blade with housing, a fine-point pen, a mini weeder, a power adapter, practice materials and a trial Cricut Access subscription for new subscribers.
Can it make T-shirts?
Yes. It cuts heat-transfer vinyl for small T-shirt designs, though the narrow width limits large graphics.
Does it work without the Design Space app?
No. You design and send cuts through the free Design Space app on a computer or mobile device.
