Sizzix Big Shot Express Electric Die Cutting and Embossing Machine 660850, 15.24cm (6") Opening & Sizzi Wafer-Thin Dies 656499, One Size, Stainless Steel, Magnetic Platform

Exceptional service, lovely, easy to use machine. This replaces the hand-cranked Circuit I had at Christmas. No effort required, can utilise all the various items I had purchased for the Cuttlebug, so I am delighted.

I wish I had bought the manual version of this machine years ago. However what I like about this machine is how easy it is to have permanently out in my smallish work area. I don’t need to worry about the plates going beyond the machine & knocking over other stuff. It’s easy to set up dies whist bottom plate is on the machine. I also own A Gemini which is great for many things but the number of times the dies have shifted as I have lifted the plates to feed through the machine. I know you can use tape but 50% of the time it rips the paper no matter what brand of tape you use (and I’ve tried a few). The plates do not seem to warp as badly & quickly as other machines. I don’t have to search for written instructions for sandwiches for different dies & embossing folders because it’s on the plates. And finally I can use it for Bigz dies- if you love these then you will understand why it’s useful to have a machine that can cope with all types of dies. If I had bought this machine first I really don’t think I would have ever bought any other machine!

I loved my Big Shot but severe arthritis was making it painful to use. When it finally broke I went for the electric version & wasn’t sorry. My only bugbear is that you have to keep your finger or thumb on the button but it’s still much easier & means I can die-cut & emboss to my heart’s content

It is small , I thought it will hold the 12 " paper and big dies but it was small and hold only the 6 " width paper . Not any die will work with it as some die cutting machines do.But the order was quickly delivered and it was very good packed and the item was very brand new .Makia

Bought this as a pressie for my mother who just loves making cards but at 91 is struggling with cutting things out and this has been really helpful it means she can carry on with her hobby

I bought this electric machine due to my arthritis as l found the manual one was causing me pain. I loved my manual machine ; however, l have been bitterly disappointed. I am just returning my second machine 😩. My first one stopped working after 3 months and now the second one has done the same 🙄. I am not a heavy daily user so l expected it to last for a long time.Sorry Sizzix this machine seriously needs a better motor . I cannot reverse on the second machine and on the first machine, it wouldn’t work at all.I would seriously think twice about buying this. So for now it is back to the manual machine 😩.Thank you to excellent customer service for a speedy return and refund 👍🏻👍🏻

so much better than my last machinelove it

My wife loved this machine and it was so easy to use - much better than the one with the handle. She was using it yesterday and even though the motor is still working it will not accept dies into the machine and makes an awful loud noise when trying to run the die through and just stops. It has just stopped accepting the dies for some strange reason. I am returning to Amazon for a refund and have purchased the normal Big Shot with the handle on again as the other one lasted for years. To last only 8 weeks when not used every day is not acceptable as this machine was expensive compared to the manual Big Shot.
