This was my first purchase of an electronic die cutting machine. It was a long-thought-out decision about whether I need one and which one I should get if I do, and ultimately I made what I considered the risky decision - a machine that is relatively new on the market and has limited usage and review information available. I received the machine, have played with it, and my review is in – it’s AWESOME!! There will always be a learning curve, and I’ve eaten some paper with this machine, but I’m so far LOVING IT. The key here is to use all available resources – the eCraft Yahoo group and Purple Paper Paradise have been far above and beyond helpful, and I’ll forever be grateful for their persistence and insistence in the greatness of this machine. I’ve already found it so useful in my work, and I’ll be posting pictures soon. Overall, this machine is very well made (even my skeptical boyfriend noted that it doesn't look like a toy, but a realy "piece of equipment"), arrives properly packaged for transport, and cuts well with the right settings. Keep track of what settings you use for different materials and brands of paper! There is a very useful chart on Purple Paper Paradise that I highly recommend downloading for reference. If you have questions about this awesome machine, feel free to PM me :)
