I make shirts as a side-hustle but I ended up getting into signs and wraps. I came from Cricut to this machine since I needed something that could cut beyond 12x24 inches. Before I knew it, it completely replaced my Air 2.It takes some time to set up and get used to. The Signmaster software it comes was incomplete on the USB. It didn't list any cutters which made cutting impossible, so I had to reconnect my optical drive to read the disc. Afterwards, it worked flawlessly...sort of.After I had fixed my first issue, I found that my machine was cutting badly. It was making this weird grinding noise and wouldn't cut clean lines. Turns out, the thing that cuts the vinyl was off it's rails. So after popping it into place it was smooth sailing.It works great as a basic cutter. After I found out the smaller cutters actually came with sensing technology I was kind of like :/But it does make up for it in the fact that it is MASSIVE.Pros: It's cheap, it works reliably, relatively easy to set up, easy to learn, massive format allows for large work to be done.Cons: It's very loud, doesn't have sensing technology, and takes up a lot of space if you don't have a dedicated working room.Overall I'm happy with it since I don't need to buy a $36k printer-plotter system juuuuuust yet.
