I received this for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I really like this machine. It’s very easy to use, even for someone who has no experience at all. The screen is large enough to see well and the application I use on my laptop works well too. It’s easy to transfer from my laptop to the machine wirelessly. I have only worked with card stock so far, but I’ve done several projects. I’m playing around with it to get comfortable before buying more materials. I can see this being really useful for holidays, education, and just fun crafts. I can’t wait to make more projects!!
