Owning a Cricut Explore Air 2 and Expore 3, I believed I didn't need a third Cricut machine until I saw the JOANN's sale and delicious price of $199 (later it dropped to $179) plus taxes and free shipping for a new Cricut Maker 1. How could I resist celebrating the New Year 2025 with this crafting machine in a beautiful champagne color? So, here comes my Cricut Maker review.

Is Cricut Venture really just an Explore 3 on steroids or much more than that? How can this large smart cutting machine change your hobby and improve your crafting? Let's dive into various reviews of this 24-inch cutter and see if you need this giant in your crafts room.

When Cricut Explore Air 2 price drops down from $169-$189 to $139 at Michaels for a brand new device, and you don't even have to look at a certified refurbished one offered by Cricut itself for $149, the first thing that comes to your creative mind is whether to grab this deal or look at the so-called Cricut Air 3 (officially known as Explore 3) and sold at $199 ($179 if you have Cricut Access™) with no bundles during the Black Friday week.

What is the significant difference between the two?
