My daughter has had one for 6-7 years and is quite the pro and uses it regularly. I bought the next model up from her Cricut when I retired but ended up using it very little. She had a big Cricut project this fall, and I loaned her mine (it was faster and she could use two at one time), and over Christmas I decided to let her keep it.
Now if I need any decal-stickers, I'll send her the image and let her make it. It's a win-win.
