Why Choose Updated Cricut Explore 3 Over Cricut Explore Air 2?
If you have already been using its older versions or you are just wondering why you need the new Cricut Explore machine, then I am going to tell you exactly why!

With a very slick design, it helps you prevent fingerprints on it while using it. The machine can cut up to 8 inches per second and can cut up to 12 feet in one go. The Explore Air 2 could cut up to 2 feet in one go, which is a major update.
It can also cut as small a material as 6 inches; for smaller materials, you need to use it with the cutting mat. It has an ingenious holder so that you can keep your phone or tablet if you use these as your operating system. Also, it has an ingenious roll holder that you can simply put on the lower door of the machine. This tool will help you collect all the waste rolls, and you will not have to worry about picking them up after you finish the work.
