Brother ScanNCut SDX125e DIY Cutting Machine with Scanner and 6 CADXBLD1 Replacement Blades

After spending hours researching which cutting machine would be best, I picked the Scan and Cut SDX125e and couldn't be happier! I wasn't expecting the detail in the cuts to be as perfect as they are, even with some of my smaller detailed designs. Definitely recommend this product to anyone in the market!

I am so disappointed. I bought this machine for my business and to also make crafts with my son. I opened the box, set up the software and got right to work. First thing I realize is the software I was hoping to use isn't available in the US. That was the first of many problems. To sell a machine and not disclose this is not acceptable and I feel as though I was scammed. The second issue is cutting a circle. I printed my customers business logo on a sticker sheet and scanned it into canvas workspace. I aligned everything perfectly and put circles around the stickers where I wanted to cut. I then proceeded to cut the stickers and to my surprise they were completely off. I wasted an entire package of sticker paper thinking it was user error and unfortunately it is the machine. After a few uses of trial and errors now my mat won't load properly. The right side is moving and the left side freezes which dragged my mat in sideways and caused it to fold multiple times. I am beyond frustrated I spent so much money on a machine that had such good reviews. The last issue I just experienced was buying a 12 by 24 mat to try and cut vinyl. I go to load a BRAND NEW brother mat and the machine cannot recognize the mat. How is this possible? Multiple attempts and I gave up. I am sending this machine back tomorrow. Don't waste your money.

Mats are awful and expensive! Wished I hadn't upgraded from Model 350 due to auto cut is not accurate. First cut was with cardstock and it cut thru mat! The only things I like about this machine is the wifi capability, free software, and the scanning function. Mats loose tackiness after 5 cuts. Mats are too expensive compared to similar cutting machines.

I purchased this machine to help reduce my "fussy" cutting on craft projects due to arthritis and time. I have only had the machine a brief time so I have not had time to experience all the great things this machine can do. It does a wonderful job of scanning items and then cutting them out. The few projects I made turned out wonderfully and I am looking forward to learning to do more things with the machine. I love the fact that it connects with my other electronics via blue tooth.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This is an amazing cutting machine. Better than other brands I have tried. You can do so much with it. It is very easy to use. Right out the box I was crafting in minutes. This machine has so many awesome features. The auto blade sensor technology is very convenient, it automatically detects thickness of the material you are cutting. The scan feature is the coolest. You can scan any of your own hand drawn work! The touchscreen display makes quick edits easy. The free design software is easy to use and includes tons of free designs/projects. You can connect to your computer or your phone or tablet or just use it by itself. It comes with the main accessories you will need and the machine has a handy storage compartment for storing them. I am so amazed at all this machine can do. The cuts are perfect and fast. The machine is pretty quiet when in use. I can create almost anything with it. I can cut fabric, paper, card stock, vinyl, leather, foam. The creative possibilities with this are endless and easy.
