This post is sponsored by Cricut but my opinions and love for my Cricut Explore Air 2 is all my own.
Ever since I became the proud owner of my Cricut Explore Air 2, I get messages from friends and readers asking me if I love the machine and I think that it’s worth the price. Usually my answer is a resounding yes! I absolutely love my machine(s) and use them frequently. Especially now that we’re home in quarantine. I’m labeling all the things, making face masks, crafts for my daughter’s room and our homeschool room. I’m even waiting on a box of supplies right now!

If you’re wondering If buying a Cricut really worth it, read on to see why I love it so much.
WHICH MACHINE SHOULD YOU START WITH?
When you decide to become a part of the Cricut family, the first thing you have to do is decide on which machine you want to start with. There are 3 main machines to choose from. The Cricut Maker, the Explore Air 2 and the Cricut Joy. Each one is unique in it’s own way and I have to say the Explore Air 2 is a great machine to start with.
IT’S EASY TO LEARN
Coming from a Cricut Mini and another machine that I won’t name lol, the Explore Air 2 is a dream to learn on. It seriously is so easy to learn how to use.
Plus there’s a ton of tutorials out there than can help you if you get stuck along the way. I’ve found the Cricut Design Space very user friendly as well as using my machine for everything from cutting to writing.
Whatever project you dream up, the Cricut Explore Air 2 can handle it with ease. I’ve made containers to hold my cat’s stuff, reusable tote bags, and I even designed my office makeover around my machines. Yup, I love them that much!
THE CRICUT EXPLORE AIR 2 MAKES CRAFTING SO MUCH EASIER
I can’t cut a straight line if my life depended on it. It’s sad, I know but I don’t have to worry about that anymore with the Cricut Explore Air 2. It does the cutting for me perfectly. Every time.
Whether I want to use one of the pre-made designs available with Cricut Access or I want to start from scratch and care my own, the Explore Air 2 makes it easy for me to do it.
REASONS YOU SHOULDN’T BUY A CRICUT
Truthfully I can’t think of many. If you’ve been thinking about getting one then you probably already know you want one. I love my machine and haven’t ran into any issues where I’d advise against it.
The only time I would recommend not getting one is if:
- You can’t afford it. I don’t recommend going into debt for anything whether it’s travel or crafting
- You really don’t like crafting. Sure the Cricut will make you want to craft more and more but if you’re just not into it, skip it.
- If you’re one of those people who buys things and just leaves them in their box.
They’re the only reasons I would advise against buying a Cricut Explore Air 2 or any other Cricut machine.
If you don’t fall into one of those categories, then I highly recommend any of the Cricut machines. My Cricut Explore Air 2 has been keeping me busy during this quarantine and can’t wait to share all of fun things I’m doing with it.
