Sizzix Big Shot Plus Die Cutting and Embossing Arts and Craft Machine for Card Making, Scrapbooking, Stickering and Journaling | 21cm Opening (A4)

Bought this for a great price. Really easy to use with clear instructions. Everything was packed extremely well and it was delivered very quickly. Very happy with my purchase.Update:-Sadly had to return the first one as, although embossing worked fine, the plate 'sandwich' for cutting would not go through the machine. Tested the plates on my friends Bigshot Plus and they went through just fine, so there was some kind of fault with my machine.Happy to say my replacement for the faulty one arrived the following day and works perfectly. :O)

Since developing arthritis, burnishing a lino print is too difficult. This is a cheap, small press for printing up to A4. Plenty of different thickness plastic sheets to get the thickness correct to roll your lino between newsprint and felt. The results are very, very good.

I love this equipment .its doing everything I want .I've always had a standard size one but I've gone for this plus size so I an go bigger and no limits to what I can do .

Easy to use, came with extras, but really not required. Most crafters already have dies and embossing folders. Size was bigger than expected and in retrospect I should have bought the smaller one. Great value for money.

Service was impressive. Delivery man went above and beyond to ensure safe delivery. Item was just what I expected it to be.

I’ve only had this cutting machine for just over a week and already cutting plate is so warped it cannot be used. I have had cutting machines before so knew to rotate cutting plate but still they warped beyond use.Cutting machine itself is excellent it’s a shame the poor quality of cutting plates have let this product down

I love it.

I bought this before Christmas because my Grand Calibur of less than two years old fell to bits. My husband declared it a complete heap of rubbish! All plastic inside driving two metal rollers. Why did I go for this machine in particular when there are lots out there? Reputation! Reviews, forums professional crafters all recommend the Big Shot. Price also came into it. I didn't want to pay over £100 asI have to pay a hefty postage out to Spain. Since using the Big Shot I can advise that it is a sturdy machine and doesn't move around like the GC did. Have had no problems whatsoever with cutting or embossing. I have watched Sizzix demos on Hochanda and the demonstrator has mentioned the 'all metal' inside which means it shouldn't suffer the same fate as the GC. The only draw back for me is that it has a large foot print and therefore not as portable as the GC. Still think it's worthy of 5 stars though.
