I got this for my wife as a gift, and she LOVES it!!!! She has her own craft room, and I always get her some sort of crafting machine for a gift because they allow her to enjoy her creative side. This is by far the best one she has. It's way more versatile, and user friendly then the Cricut that she has been using. The software that comes with it is easy to use, and she was up and crafting within a few minutes. The digital store allows you to only buy the images you need at $ a piece, which is so much more cost effective than paying $$ for a cartridge that has a lot of images that will never be used. The software accounts for pretty much every type of paper, and size which is a huge plus, and it even tells you what the blade depth settings should be for each. If your buying this as a gift, I highly recommend getting one of the four different starter kits that they sell. For the non crafty person like myself, this is basically a printer that cuts shapes instead of using ink. The things you can do with it if you are crafty are limitless!!!!
I have been using this machine for a couple of weeks now and I am so happy with it. I'm glad I purchased this instead of the ones where u can only cut from cartridges. I have dipped my toes into drawing and cutting from my own creations. I would hate to have to try to explain this to a computer illiterate person. Downside. Not a lot of help in the quick start guide. No real trouble shooting assistance. I watched some basic YouTube videos to get the idea of the settings that would work best. My blade was acting up at one point and I couldn't figure it out... A video suggested that maybe the little white housing at the tip was loose... Yes. It was slightly unscrewed leading the blade to go wonky at places. I highly recommend the product but know you're best off educating yourself in its operation and tricks from others in the Internet. Vast wealth of ideas and info on YouTube. Second bonus tip: buy a spare blade and mat. If or when these need replacing you are unlikely to want to wait for shipping to use your machine again. I cannot find any silhouette materials in stores in my area (except for vinyl , limited selection).
I bought a Silhouette Cameo for christmas last year! It is a wonderful product and so easy to use! If you are debating on getting a Silhouette or a Cricut.... a Silhouette is the way to go! You can design anything you want.... the options are limitless!
I got this machine a few week ago and wanted to wait until I used it a few times to write a review. I LOVE it! I purchased a few extra tools that helped with the removal from the cutting mat a little easier, as the mats are pretty sticky to keep the paper in place while cutting. I would certainly recommend this product to any crafter that wants to branch out into a more extensive and detailed paper and vinyl (along with a plethora of other materials) designs and styles.
Purchased the Cameo about a month ago and I'm really liking it. The mega bundle was the right choice for me with the free download cards. Only wish it came with a better manual for more detailed ways to create, but there are tons of youtube videos to help, even ones by the Silhouette Company.
Cameo machine is great but after installed silhouette studio, my computer couldn't recognize cameo machine. I put a request to replace the USB cable and am waiting for the answer now. Hope it will solve the problem. The most thing I'm so disappointed is place mat. There was the company logo sticker on the sticky side. It couldn't remove clearly and got massed up my sticky surface. :-( I don't understand how could they put sticker on the sticky surface that need to be used. very disappointed about that. Otherwise, I like the machine.
This was the best deal on the internet! I love this machine so much more than my Cricut. This bundle is a steal.
The Silhouette Cameo is really the best digital cutting machine out there. It can do and make almost anything! I previously owned the SD and decided to upgrade to the Cameo. I got the best price at Overstock. When you add all the extras they included it is well worth the price. Silhouette America has great customer service if you have any questions/issues with the machine. Also, you can find tons of information/tutorials on the internet for how to use your Cameo or get ideas.
This was a good purchase price for the item with bonus gift card.
I'm using my Cameo almost daily! The projects and ideas I have never stop coming. It's machine is amazing and worth every penny for the true crafter. I looked for several days and no one has a better deal than Overstock.com does.
