Has anyone got a Craft Robo?

[DUSTIN]

If you have one do you like it? My Mum has offered to buy me one and I have been reading reviews. Some people love it but others have been abit negative and I just wanted some more opinions. Thanks.

A what?...sounds intriguing

Yes and I hate it with a passion.

Got it years ago when we had money to waste and ended up reinvesting in a die cutting machine (Big Shot) which is loads better.

Pheebe it is a cutting machine for card, vinyl etc.

Babieseverywhere Really? What did you not like about it?

I LOVE my cuttlebug

I have only heard good stuff about the craft robo but then again I dont actually know anyone that has one.

With the robo you can only cut and not emboss like you can with a cuttlebug or bigshot.

Thanks YoMoJo. I like the idea that you can design your own cut outs etc with the craft robo and not have to buy lots of dies.

The Robo is a bit more versatile than the Cricut because it doesn't need cartridges and you can design and merge text and drawings, use your own fonts and do some funky stuff.

Thanks Silver1 it sounds good. I think I am being swayed to buy one.

I bought one years ago when I had the time and inclination to make cards, and I loved mine.

I used to make cards that were outfits so I'd draw what I wanted then program them in to the Robo. You do have to get a bit creative with how you use it with flimsy paper ( stick it on the backing paper ).

I think I am going to get one just need to find the best price. I am going to a craft event at the end of the month so will see what offers they have. Thanks.
