Silhouette Cameo 3

April 14, 2018

I love this cutting machine. I was able to make vinyl stickers and label all my equipment with my logo and company name. It doesn't print but it comes with a set of lovely pins that can put into the machine to sketch and cut out whatever I design.
Okay. Let's get into what I didn't like. I couldn't get the Bluetooth function to work. From what I have read online, most people have that problem. It does have a cord that hooks up to the computer. It comes with a free tutorial but it looked like the tutorial was using the previous software. It looks nothing like the current software. That made it very hard to figure out how to use the Silhouette Cameo 3. I had to search YouTube to for a video that had a tutorial of the current software. Without a tutorial, I would have never figured out how to use this machine and would have returned it. It is not intuitive at all and difficult to use if you've never used this type of machine before. It get's four stars instead of five because I had to search the ends of the internet to figure out how to use it.

Not for the faint of heart!!!

November 16, 2017

This machine can do an amazing variety of jobs. Learning how to make it work is both frustrating and expensive. There are NO instructions included with the bundle. There is NO software. It must be downloaded from the internet and it is NOT user friendly. The users manual must be downloaded and printed at home, all 118 pages of it!! Then one must enroll at Silhouette U. To get the free month, it is necessary to agree to pay for future months of study. The videos from Silhouette U make use of advanced software which is NOT what one gets when they download from the internet. As the chirpy instructor bounces her cursor around to icons I don't have on my computer screen, the frustration mounts. There are literally hundreds of YouTube videos covering nearly every aspect of Silhouette use, some excellent, some awful. I recommend them rather than the Silhouette U.
I regret the investment in a Silhouette and wish I had bought the new Cricut instead.

I love this product. The only reason I gave it four stars is because when you start to work on the software it can be a bit complicated but the more you work at it gets easier. But this is coming from a person who use to individually iron on each letter for a t-shirt......😅I have a T-shirt job to do of 132 t-shirts and so far so good. It cuts well. My only concern again is that the book that comes with the machine definitely needs to explain more on how to set the cut setting right. Other than that good product.

For the most part, this product does the work, however...

At times, there's a miscommunication and it does not cut on the line. Now I understand that new technologies take time to develop into perfectness and I do not take these beautiful human inventions for granted. Yet, when I pay $1.5-$2 per heat transfer paper that is wasted for this reason, it hurts over time. Still, awesome technology. Much success

Great bundle! Enjoyed getting all the different colors of vinyl. Would be nice if they included some actual instructions though instead of having it all online. This product is fairly easy to use.

So excited to get this bundle in the mail. It was giving us a little issues right away, it was saying a registration marks error when we would put the vinyl in. My husband helped me figure it out and have made quite a bit of projects already in just the 2 days we have had it. Hoping that it has worked out all the kinks! Love this machine and can't wait to figure out all the cool things I can make with it.

Love my silhouette cameo. It took a longer time to arrive, if you need quickly I'll recommend paying for shipping.

I received my shipment, but I did not find the glue words, although he is in the picture. Replace the image as the glue is not within the purposes.

Great buy 👍🏾

It’s very easy to use quite for the most part and came packaged perfectly I returned mine but only because it would cut in a straight line at the top but closer to the bottom it was perfect... I would recommend getting this bundle for new beginners and I just hope u don’t get one like mine
