How do I determine which Cricut machine is the best on the market now?
+25
I have one of the Cricut machines that came out years ago. Sadly, it is not capable to use with their online design app. I’m thinking of buying a newer and improved model. Any knowledgeable suggestions will be appreciated. My machine is the Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter.

I would get one of the Makers. They are the newest. I own the Maker (not the Maker 3) and love it. The Maker 3 lets you cut without a mat and faster with smart materials.
Here's a great article on the different Cricut machines. https://jennifermaker.com/cricut-maker-vs-cricut-explore-whats-different-best/
go to a store and see them on display and sometimes you can do a demo on them- ask friends who own them- read reviews online by googling cricut pros and cons of the models-
I would make a list of all the features that you will want to use and then eliminate the versions that do not have those.
Hello. The current pricing on the Makers it’s unbelievable. About $20 more than what I paid for my air explore 2. I do believe this is for the older version of a maker were you do have to use the mat. Since it has a better motor and a few more cutting options like thin veneer wood and fabric it would be an unbelievable purchase opportunity with current pricing.
That being said I really enjoy my air explore 2 it functions perfectly for everything I need. If you have any additional questions please let me know

That means — for the first time ever — you can make cuts up to 12 ft long in one go. So if that is something that is important to you look into the Cricut 3. The all-new Cricut Maker 3 and Cricut Explore 3 have more powerful motors, which means you now have the ability to cut up to 2X faster than before, when using Smart Materials — all without sacrificing power or precision.
