Please give your views on the craft robo or similar cutter machines?
Which is best for noise, time to cut, thickness of card stock, durability, ease of use? I would like to buy one and have checked youtube and other review websites but cannot seem to make up my mind which I prefer.
Thanks Heather, but I am in the UK.
It depends on if you want a cartridge based one like the Cricut, or a software based one like the Craft Robo or Wishblade.
You can search on Yahoo Groups for die cutting groups and get a lot of good information from people that already own the machine.
And here’s a site that compares them.

Good luck!
