Man you guys think this is bad? My partner bought a Cricut because they thought it would be good for quilting (fancy vinyl cutter) and its a locked down nightmare.
Proprietary software with no alternative, cloud upload required to print anything, even over USB connection... Oh and repair-ability, total nightmare with very little access to replacement parts, with Cricut regularly bricking older models as they reach EoL.
Sorry rant over lol
As much as I love the projects I'm able to make with my Cricut, I know I won't be getting another one when it eventually dies. Cricut's software and approach to the customers is so awful.
Wish I'd heard about Silhouette before getting my machine but I've definitely learned my lesson now.
Thanks for mentioning silhouette, I'll keep them in mind if I ever decide a vinyl cutter is something I ought to get :)
