" ... Do yourself a favor and get the premium blade. ... "
" ... Im new to the Vinyl cutting game but this is a great C and C cutter. ... "
" ... It is our first cutting machine, and I must say that it has work perfectly. ... We have done several print & cut items and no problem at all. ... We have also cut vynil and worked fine. ... We will be cutting more materials but I think there will be no problem at all. ... "
" ... It takes a bit to get used to but I'm loving how it cuts my stickers for my planners. ... "
" ... Within a few tries my husband and I got the program and machine figured out and I was able to begin to cut my own custom stickers for the tarot deck and oracle decks I painted. ... "
" ... Works very good cutting vinyl stencils for electro engraving. ... "
" ... First impressions of this machine's cutting ability is impressive. ... Having the ability to print registration marks and then trace and contour cut is a really nice feature that you cannot get in most machines at less than $400, so the Cameo 3 gets 4 STARS. ... "
" ... Awsome, right product, exacto modelo. ... "

" ... Just got the machine less than a week. ... Searched all over the Internet to see what was going on but failed to find anything (reset, clear error etc.) ... so I assumed the machine was just defective. ... I'm hoping the seller will see this message and send me a new one to replace. ... "

" ... The computer couldn't connect to the machine or was not seeing the machine so it was render useless. ... "
" ... If it doesn’t - Good luck getting anyone on the phone. ... "
" ... It will not connect to my computer and now it won't turn on. ... "
" ... Never did get the Bluetooth to connect so had to plug it in at an inconvenient place. ... "
" ... After two unsuccessful tries to get through, I gave up and sent an email. ... "
" ... Ok that's annoying enough, as to why would you send a machine that is not capable to connect to your computer. ... And after all that the Cameo still is not connecting to my computer. ... "
" ... Well, how about the hours I wasted on the phone? ... "
" ... It will NOT connect to my computer which is a HP (I've seen reviews that MAC users have lots of issues) it just says "paused" when ever I send a project to the machine and then never cuts. ... So I have to save everything to an SD card and cut directly on the machine without hooking it to my computer super frustrating since I often need to make a tiny change or adjustment to a design and have to save and unload and re load it to an SD card. ...

" ... I bought the Cameo 3 last month because it is supposed to have Bluetooth capabilities. ... I attempted to set up Bluetooth and worked on getting it set up for three hours. ... "
" ... Bluetooth performance so awful it might as well not have the feature. ... "
" ... Never did get the Bluetooth to connect so had to plug it in at an inconvenient place. ... "
" ... I'm sad to say I had to send mine back because of the blue tooth connectivity issues that seem to be plaguing the Cameo 3 when used with a Mac. ... "
" ... Not sure what is worse, the lack of training or documentation for the product, the incredibly piss poor software, the lack of bluetooth connection, the ease that the machine turns off in minutes then you have to restart and reconnect the bluetooth, the inability to properly feed a sheet longer then 8" long to cut without it going crooked, it makes more noise than a squealing goat, and again the lack of information to help. ... "
" ... there were no other Bluetooth devices in the area and nothing that should have caused interference. ... "
" ... Unfortunately my return window has closed but I just realized the Bluetooth feature dosnt work! ... "
" ... Additionally on top of that Bluetooth will not work at all. ... "

" ... I love the software so much more than the old cricut I was using before. ... "
" ... The software is easy to use but lacks the options most other designer studio programs offer . ... "
" ... I recommend getting some cheap supplies to do some test runs for practice and scouring YouTube and Google for tips if you run into any hiccups, there is a ton of support out there for this machine from the community. ... "
" ... Software excellent when u understand it. ... "
" ... I have watched over 20 YouTube videos on how to work it I even spent the extra money and bought the upgraded software and this machine is a joke!! ... "

" ... another plus is the software is logical, . ... "
" ... I chose the Cameo because the software is WAY better (not even a contest), and the way you organize your files is better. ... "
