Our take on the Cricut Maker 5 in Slate Blue Essential Bundle

The Cricut Maker 5 is Cricut's top-tier smart cutting machine, built to cut, engrave, score, foil and write across more than 300 materials, including leather and foam board up to 3 mm thick. It works with 13 tool types, though most specialty tools are sold separately. It is 30% more compact than earlier Makers while keeping the same 12-inch cutting width. It suits crafters and small sellers who want one machine for fabric, leather, vinyl and paper projects; the Silhouette Cameo cuts a similar width but supports fewer material types and tools.
