I'm not even sure why I got it, except that I was able to get it for an excellent price at the HSN Outlet store (this store has since closed in my area). I liked the idea of an 11x8.5 mat size, but the mats are extremely difficult to find now. I do not like using Cricut Craft Room at all, and the Mini doesn't even have a slot to insert a cartridge, so you can't use it as a stand alone machine. At least it does works with a Gypsy. To be honest, I've never even used it. I already had a Baby Baby Bug and an Expression, why did I buy something I just didn't need? I should have thought that through a little more carefully!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16519462888786070950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226280836740630353.post-25704792925539398642015-11-22T10:51:02.253-06:002015-11-22T10:51:02.253-06:00Can't say that I jumped on THAT bandwagon. Did...Can't say that I jumped on THAT bandwagon. Didn't interest me for the simple fact that it didn't cut 12x12. After having that capability, why downgrade (in my eyes). Shirley, what are your thoughts on the Explore and Explore Air? Am I correct in saying that the only difference is that the Air has built in WiFi capability? Because other that that, I hope it would all be the same. Like I said in my last post.....temptation for a purchase is setting in and Black Friday offers are making my drool.....hahahahahahahaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593688960308491896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226280836740630353.post-70278768971809250562015-11-22T09:54:21.521-06:002015-11-22T09:54:21.521-06:00yep, had to have it too because it was a good pric...yep, had to have it too because it was a good price...Guess around the time it was getting fazed out. Still using my original Expressions...sold the mini when I moved.

Anyone that knows you at all would know these are your true and honest opinions.<br /> I can't hardly stand it though when I read these post because it makes me want an explore right now.AndreaAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02550803842974472464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226280836740630353.post-71434729795144172382015-11-22T07:43:11.515-06:002015-11-22T07:43:11.515-06:00Yeah, I never got this machine as it never even be...Yeah, I never got this machine as it never even began to interest me as something I had to have. Like you Shirley, I never liked the Cricut Craftroom program (which I called something else in the last post by mistake). I never got the concept of this machine either because of the internet thing. Now all crop places have access to internet, so this machine never interested me. So there for I can't even say anything bad about this machine,lol. I only know there is no way it could EVER compete with the Explore. Design Space is so much easier to work with than Cricut Craftroom for me, it is just more user friendly to me. I've not had any problems yet either with it and because I love the Explore I will happily use it as long as it continues to perform well and they continue to improve upon it. Love these comparisons Shirley, it good for people to see the differences in these Cricut machines so they know which machine will work for them!
