Thia is my second maker 3. I would give it a better rating but my first one shorted out 3.months after the warranty was up and other than a $50 credit towards another machine with free shipping there was nothing that cricut could do. My advice is pay for the extended warranty.
  I do love the functionality of the maker 3. I have done several projects with it and it is easy to learn. I have been successful designing on my phone and sending to machine for cutting as well.
