Cricut, Inc. has introduced the new Cricut Explore 4 and Cricut Maker 4 smart cutting machines, both of which will come in new Seashell and Sage finishes.
These new machines come with more materials, including Smart Vinyl, Cardstock, Smart Iron-on, Transfer Tape, Mini Weeder, and Light Grip Machine Mat. There’s enough to complete your first 10 projects. Speeds are up to two times faster than the previous generation, and you can enjoy an improved user experience in Design Space. They are also at a lower price point than the previous generation machines that launched in 2021.
When cutting materials like cardstock and vinyl are on a machine mat, Cricut Explore 4 and Cricut Maker 4 offer cutting speeds up to twice as fast as previous models, helping save time while crafting.
The new machines feature an updated, beginner-friendly experience for machine setup and learning. This includes a First Project tutorial with enhanced customization and an introduction to the Design, Cut, and Assemble stages of using a Cricut machine, as well as more beginner-level project options.
Cricut Explore 4 will sell for US$250 and Cricut Maker 4 US$400, and both will be available starting February 28, 2025 in both Canada and the U.S. The Sage-coloured models will be exclusive to Michaels in a bundle. Beginning March 14, Seashell machines will be available at all other major retailers where Cricut products are sold, while the Sage colour will continue to be available only at Michaels in a bundle.
