Our take on the Cricut Maker 4 Smart Cutting Machine + Starter Bundle

The Cricut Maker 4 is Cricut's top-tier smart cutting machine, built to cut, score, write and draw on more than 300 materials, from paper and vinyl to leather and basswood. It cuts up to twice as fast as the Maker 3 and uses the same fine-point blade and 12x12 mats. This starter bundle adds the blade housing, a LightGrip mat, a fine-point pen, a basic tool set, two rolls of Smart Vinyl and transfer tape, so a new owner can start cutting without buying accessories separately. It suits crafters who want one machine for fabric, thick materials and vinyl; casual paper crafters can spend less on a Joy or Explore. Owners praise its cutting power and speed but note the software subscription and the learning curve.

Questions and answers

Is the Maker 4 worth it over the Explore 5?
If you cut fabric, leather or basswood, yes: the Maker 4 handles far more materials and cuts faster. For paper and vinyl only, the Explore 5 does the same job for less.
How is it different from the Maker 3?
The Maker 4 cuts up to twice as fast and keeps the same blade and mat system. Existing Maker 3 mats and blades carry over.
Do I need a Cricut Access subscription?
No, the machine works without one. A subscription unlocks the larger image and font library and some ready-made projects.
What comes in the starter bundle?
The Maker 4, a fine-point blade and housing, a 12x12 LightGrip mat, a 0.4 mm fine-point pen, a basic tool set, a mini weeder, two rolls of Smart Vinyl and transfer tape.
Can it cut fabric without a mat?
Yes, with the rotary blade and fabric mat, or with bonded fabric using the fine-point blade. The rotary blade is sold separately from this bundle.
Does it work with a phone or tablet?
Yes. Design Space runs on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, and the machine connects over Bluetooth.
