Review: Best option for tinkerers - This machine is absolutely excellent at it's job. It's fast, works well, and can cut shockingly good and accurate details. If you're not someone who's willing to watch an hour of youtube tutorials and fiddle around with depth & pressure settings for 15 minutes this isn't for you though. It takes a bit to get used to the software, get it to do what you want, and dial in the cutting settings. It's completely worth it though, once you learn it you know it and the software feels great to use. You'll also want to get more then one brand of sticker paper to see what works best for you. I've only had 2 issues with this device so far: 1. Bluetooth connection is pretty inconsistent. This is probably because I live in a very densely populated area with high amounts of radio interference though (In a large apartment, another large apartment next to me, and out through my window is 2 more large apartments across the street). I do have issues with other bluetooth devices at times because of this at times, but not usually to this extent at all. I've found the device is only really usable over usb which is sort of too bad. 2. One time, the software went crazy and no jobs would start. The cutter looked for the registration marks in areas higher then where the paper was even loaded. After some tinkering I solved this by simply restarting both the cutter and my computer and I haven't had the problem since I haven't had any of the issues with glossy paper I see anyone else mentioning yet. I'm getting absolutely excellent better-then-I-thought-was-possible precision using ppd-73-u paper. The paper is a little thinner then I'd like, but it is absolutely excellent in all other ways.
Review: The Auto-blade did not work - When I got this machine, it did not work out of the box, which is why I only give it 4 stars. I believe there is something defective in the blade that came with the machine. Though the red indicator line was changing, the blade was not sticking out, it was in the zero position. Though I could manually adjust the blade by setting it to the Manual blade in Silouette Studio, this kind of defeats its purpose. I switched to using the 1 mm Manual blade for better control, but it means having to pause the project to adjust the blade. Also, I found that there is an issue with the Print and Cut feature as the lines on the mat do not match with the machine's placement. It would cause difficulty in the machine's ability to scan the marks since the paper was being placed too low based on the mat's marking. I found a way to work around this. But it it shouldn't have to be like this. Other than these issues, the machine cuts well and I am happy with the purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What size vinyl roll is needed or what size will work?**
A: I use 9 inch rolls which are sold without having to cut them

**Q: Bottom line....what all extra do I need to purchase ahead of time in order to be able to use it the day it arrives?**
A: If your Silhouette doesn’t come with vinyl (some are a special that come with vinyl) you just need to buy vinyl in the color you want. I prefer cricut vinyl to Silhouette vinyl but that’s just my preference. Almost all vinyl sold in craft stores come in 12” rolls so for a Portrait you just cut off about 3”. You can use those pieces on your mat for small designs or letters. Good luck. You can buy vinyl at any store that carries crafts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Upgrade
*by G***R on November 6, 2020*

Ok, so I’ve owned a Silhouette SD (one of the earlier versions of this) for the last decade. I have loved it. But, recently, I’ve had issues with it, and decided to get myself a new machine. This is pretty sweet. Blue tooth is pretty cool, but since I do my work on a desktop, I’ve got all the ports I need, so the Bluetooth isn’t too big of a deal. I do love that it cuts very precisely and it is pretty much the same as my old machine in how it works, so no learning curve for me. I like to design things in photoshop, then cut them with the silhouette, but the silhouette software is pretty simple too, there are tons of tutorials out there, and you can usually get the hang of it pretty quick. The only thing I don’t like about the machine is this new auto blade. It’s more expensive, and if it worked, I’d be fine with it. I’ve had to reset mine 5 times already, every time I change any setting or use a different material, I have to reset it. I’ve trashed some expensive vinyl because of it (luckily, it was scarps I was using for small projects, but still, not cool.) I’m now waiting on my order for the adaptor to use my ratchet blades, I’d rather just adjust the settings manually, and know the first time it’ll cut right. I will also say, this machine is a bit noisier then the old silhouette, or maybe it’s just in my head? Anyway, this is a pretty slick machine! I use it mainly for Vinyl, HTV, Stencils, Stickers, and sometimes fabric. Update: got the adaptor set, it says it’s only for cameo 4, but it works perfect for this portrait 3, and I love it! Cuts perfect every time!
