Craft Robo

Has anyone got one of these and if so what do you think of it?

Hi Sue ive had two and well not got on with them , they are much slower than the cricut. Thats my opinion if you are thinking of getting one try it , you might like it

Hi Sue , I don't have one have a cricut which I love , but one of my friends has one , well did have she got rid of it and got the cricut .She was exstreamly negative about it ...... but as usual its down to choice . lexie
ps when I worked in the shop aweek ago I sold a cricut to a lady who had a craftrobo...don't know if that tells you anything

Been doing some browsing on other forums and blogs to see what others think. Opinion seems divided - you either love it or hate it! But as it seems to only cut up to 152gsm paper I've decided to wait a bit longer and go for Cricut as that seems a bit limiting. I was only thinking about it as I saw them for under £100 as opposed to £200 for cricut - will have to save pennies a bit longer!

i had a robo.but i couldn,t get on with it.sold it ,bought a cricut ,sold that and got the cricut expression,but it was too big.so sold that and all the cartridges as well.now i have a big shot ,which i love.

Sue take a look on ebay they have lots of cricuts and not too expesive , i paid £250 for my expression when they first came out now you can get them for £150 and less .I love my expression and need some more cartridges but i think ive got all the best ones for now.

Sue just becareful that if you buy a cricut on ebay its not one for the american market because if it goes wrong you have'nt got a leg to stand on , something to do with power.... but its worth saving up for I 've got 7 cardridges , I love my cricut .Having loads of problems with my Slice ,so I would'nt recomend it to anyone , its much cheaper because its rubbish . lexie

I've also got a big shot , which I love , I got it an and then a couple weeks later the cuttlebug came out , but I am happy enough as I can use all the embossing folders etc in my big shot .....

Must just say , I do like it when we have a ' whats best ' chat, helps anyone who is thinking of what to get. lexie

Didn't fancy paying out for a Cricut and cartridges (or an Expression) as I'm really happy with my Cuttlebug - I have lots of dies and embossing folders from different sources and although they are a little slower to do, I find the process very satisfying

Have my Cricut and am very happy with that but unless you get the Design Studio thingy then you are limited to cutting just what is on the cartridges

Did'nt thimk I could cope with that bit to techi for me !!!!! lexie

I wouldn't use it enough to justify the layout so haven't even bothered looking into them too closely so am no help sorry Sue.
