I have purchased 2 scan n cut machines and they have both failed, one within 2 months and the first within a year.  It doesn’t load the mat correctly, it goes in crooked.  New mat, old mat, it doesn’t matter.  When it cuts it shifts the mat, ruining a lot of expensive paper.  I’m about to throw the machine out the window.  Brother knows about these issues and doesn’t care.  I will never buy another brother machine nor will I ever recommend one to anyone.
