I have the joy, joy extra & the maker 3. I enjoy doing crafts on all three. I can have all three machines up and running at the same time getting more crafts done and out the door! I ❤ my cricut machines! 😊
I love that Cricut made a slightly bigger portable machine with extra features but seems a little high price wise since it’s about the same as an Explore Air. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
A cricut joy would be fun for my room. I don't have space for a bigger machine. Dipping my toes into the cricut world, so that would be the best one for me.
I had thought about the smaller machine, but realized my projects are just too ambitious for it, but think it would be great to take to craft fairs to customize stuff on the spot!
Thanks for this review. I currently have the Joy. If my Joy were to quit working I probably would purchase the Joy Xtra. However, I am disappointed that Cricut does not offer the Smart Paper Sticker Cardstock for the Xtra. I use it all the time in my Joy. I wonder if I could buy the Smart Paper for the Maker 3 and cut it to fit the Xtra.
Will the Joy Xtra allow you to use all the functions of design space, for example, offset, score, slice? I was hoping the Xtra would work like a mini Explorer.
I love my Cricut Joy…and was going to upgrade to an Xtra…However, I ended up just getting an Explore Air 2 because I wanted to do even bigger projects. But an Xtra is still super tempting.
Thanks for the review. I love my Joy and I have an older explore air 2, so not sure I’d purchase the extra. But I might put it on a wish list to get as a gift!
Since xtra is big on stickers, will this be able to cut through a laminate over sticker paper? I have issues with explore where it doesnt read and cut with a shiny laminate or shiny paper.
I actually have a tutorial on this! It helps to put scotch tape (the kind with the green label) over the black border lines so it gets rid of the reflective surface so the machine can better read it.

The Cricut joy xtra would probably be a better fit for my crafting needs. Thank you for sharing/comparing the two machines.

For the circuit joy xtra can you place several odds and ends (not a regular paper)on the mat to cut or does it have to be 8.5 by 11?
Can i use a smart materials from Joy (5.5") in wider (9,5") Joy Xtra?
Love the print and cut option!
Hi can you import your own stamped images to get them cut out?
I so want one of these, so this was so very helpful.
Joy xtra looks to be one you can use more. Love it
I love both machines, but because I already have a Maker 3 to make print and cut stickers, for me the best option is the Cricut Joy 👍🏼

Thanks for the review. I have a joy and maker. The xtra looks like it would much bigger projects
Great video. Thank you!

These are so fun!
Such a great little machine! Thank you for sharing ❤️

I think that's a great idea!

Thank you so much!!
I prefer cri cutter joy extra, because one can print and then cut. Is better for paper board models,
If I were to get another Cricut, it would be the Joy Xtra. Right now I'm saving for a glow forge.
Thank you for the review!
Thanks for explaining!
The small one , would be very good for me
I already own the Joy but if I didn't I'd probably get the Xtra!
About speed cut ?
I would go with the cricut joy extra when I decide to buy one.
Thank you for the explanation.
Very informative.
I love my circuit joy machine but I need to add the joy extra to my craft room
The Cjoy extra would be best for me
Thank you
Nice and small.
I already have a Joy and love it but may eventually get the xtra and give the Joy to my sister.
That sounds like a great plan!
great reviews
Xtra equals Print then Cut.
Cricutjoy xtra 💕
