Amazon has the Silhouette Mint for $35.99

I got it today, it comes with a $25 design store card (LOL).

I haven't had a chance to try it out, but, figured I'd share. The supplies for this thing are not cheap, so keep that in mind, and it's been hovering between $35 and $45 for a few months- so probably not hopping back up to $70+ anytime soon (though, who knows with Amazon). Hopefully I'll get a chance to try it out tomorrow.

And if you are looking for the cameo, Silhouette has it and the mint bundled for $269. It’s what I paid for my cameo 3 last year.

Did you have any issues with the Cameo. I've been doing a lot of research on cutting machines and 2 of the the best ones are the Cameo and the Maker.
However the Maker seems to be a lot more expensive, even though it's clearly the winner, but my budget is only ~$250 (max $300).
This article explains it pretty well: freshlypickedblog.com/cricut-maker-vs-silhouette-cameo-3/
I will use it for vinyl cutting mostly (maybe some paper cutting), so I think the Cameo will be ok for me.
What do you think?

[shortcake2675]

I’m really happy with my Cameo 3. I cut vinyl, some paper, and maybe a little of the foils. There is a new Cameo 4 coming out that is supposed to be comparable to the Maker, with a rotary blade and more pressure plus whatever else. But I’m not ready to drop more money on another die cutter in the near future when I’m pretty happy with the current one. Especially when I want to upgrade my embroidery machine.

I’m frustrated with mats right now because I live in a dry climate and the adhesive dries out super fast. I’m sloppy and don’t get the covers on them as soon as I’m done a lot of days, but that’s a me problem. And I suspect I’d have a similar problem with cricut mats too.

I don’t know how quickly you want to buy it, but you might wait a bit for the 4 to be released and see if that brings the price of the 3 down.

The 4 is going to come in a 15” and a 20” too, iirc.

Thanks shortcake2675,
I want to buy it soon, but I guess I can wait a bit more and get it at a discounted price.
Appreciate your time

Hey, I just looked on the Silhouette school blog and found this.

I never did try my Mint- ha! Guess I should figure out where it is and break it out.

Amazon has a decent deal on the black Cameo 3- not the most screaming deal ever, but, it's definitely not a bad price for a package.

The cameo 4 is coming out soon and is supposed to be comparable to the Cricut maker
