I had my machine for 2 years and I loved it. The only setback I have is that my USB port broke on me and I couldn't find anything on the website or anywhere that I could find a replacement part for this machine. I currently have a Silhouette 4 because I hated the circuit model. This machine was easily the best. For the price and the fact that it bigger and not much of a space problem. The software was easy for me to use and there wasn't a need to swap out a needle unlike the one i have now where i already bought 5 of the ones that don't come with the machine cause its been out of stock since I had mine..._ I still have it in my closet and hopefully I can get it running on day..
