3.0 out of 5 stars Great - If I could use with my new Vista PC, September 10, 2008

By	A. Clark "3kidsmommy" (Williamsport, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had this product for a year and a half. It takes some work to become comfortable with designing and cutting files, but well worth the effort. Lots of support from yahoo Groups and other web sites. Lots of FREE files shared, too. Xyron customer service leaves a lot to be desired, however. Also, I cannot use this with my new Vista computer. Drivers are available for 32-bit Vista, but not 64-bit. Apparently Xyron isn't making new drivers any time soon. Now I have an expensive machine that I love, but cannot use.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's not easy, but it's worth it!, June 22, 2008

By	KaiJAB (Columbus, OH) - See all my reviews

I bought my Wishblade a couple of years ago, and to be honest, haven't used it a whole lot, however... I recently was playing with a Cricut and wanting one, when I realized I just needed to use what I had. Cricut is very user friendly and immediate-gratification, but expensive! After searching online for hundreds of free GSD files for my Wishblade, I'm completely in love with it! I will admit, it is a little tough to cut Bazzill cardstock, but any other paper I've not had a problem with. I do have the create and cut software and admit that it takes a little bit of computer savvy to use it, but just knowing I can cut any free true type font I can download keeps me LOVING my Wishblade over and above the cricut any day.

2.0 out of 5 stars Was not impressed...., June 3, 2008

By	Nicole Hill (Candor, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well let me start by telling you this is my 3rd die cutting machine. I started with the Cricut and Cricut Expressions machine. It either did not cut my letters or it tore them. I didn't want to keep having to buy the cartridges so I started my search for a computerized one that will cut any font on your computer. I decided on the Wishblade after lots of research. I liked the idea of the Create and Cut software. I got the Wishblade on Saturday. It took over an hour just to set it up and cut something. First it did not cut all the way thru. Then it tore the letters. So I kept fiddling around with it thinking I just need to adjust the settings or something. No matter what I did it would freeze up, not cut the letters, or tare the letters! The extra Create and Cut software it came with would spaz out and crash my computer. The instructions and the software itself seemed very complicated, for me anyway. I just wanted to throw it out the window! I do not recommend it!
