2.0 out of 5 stars Neat, but not user-friendly and NOT compatible..PAY for updates!, September 25, 2010

This review is from: Xyron XMWB-C&C01 Wishblade with Create n Cut Plus Software (Kitchen)

I bought this thing a few years ago and I chose it because it was XYRON: a name I thought to be reputable. The software is NOT user-friendly, for starters. You better be pretty software savvy! The cutting mats don't last very long, either...then you have to replace them at $20 PLUS shipping (because...good luck finding some local store that does anything Wishblade....rumor has it Xyron isn't very nice to smaller stores).

The next problem I ran into was the compatibility issue when I went from XP to Vista. DID NOT WORK and Xyron did NOT offer updates. WTF!

Purchased a Windows 7 machine and thought I would give it a whirl. Nope. BUT...there IS an update from Xyron, but you have to pay $100 for the software. SERIOUSLY. When you fork out close to $400 for a machine, you shouldn't have to pay $100 for a patch!! UNREAL.

Next time, I am going Silhouette. They offer ALL updates for FREE from their website. It's a concept, I am telling you!

The Wishblade is so much fun. I've had a little trouble with it because I use a Mac, but the help desk at Xyron has stayed right with me to iron out the compatibility issues. My scrapbook pages are really eye popping.

I love this machine! It works well and it's fun to use. As with all new equipment, playing with it and experimenting first is key. I have Windows 7 operating system so when I installed I had to call tech support to figure out why it wasn't working. They were very helpful and I had it up and running within a short time. This is a great machine and I love that I can print font off of my computer. I would definitely buy this again.
