Is it for home and scrap decor? Is it for Alphabets or Shapes? Another question to ask yourself is if the additional cartridges for additional shapes/letters/features is within your budget. I personally have the Cricut Personal Cutter and cant stand it. These are questions I should of asked myself. For this Christmas I took these questions into serious consideration and I bought a cutting tool that is perfect for my needs. I also googled reviews about the cutter I wanted and I couldnt be happier. Let me know if you have any other questions!!! This is a great question.

I love it. I like how it does everything instantly. The downside I guess to some ppl would be the limit size it cuts up to. 5 1/2 inches. As to the Expression cuts up to 23 inches or so. (Huge!) When considering which one to buy, think of your uses. Do you think you need it to make HUGE cut outs? How often will you use it?! Do you have the space for it? Most importantly, whats your budget? Can you afford the Expression that ranges between nearly $400-599? The personal Cricut ranges from $189-299. (Walmart has them pretty cheap!) You will need the accessories, the mats, the cartridges etc. The downside is that the mats wear out easily. They dont last long. Plus, the mats for the Expression are more $$ than the Personal. The cartridges range from $59.99 (@walmart)-89.99. Their fairly expensive & unfortunately you cant use coupons on them. Stores no longer accept coupons on ANY Cricut item. Their both capable of cutting paper, & they both perform great! The Expression cuts Vinyl. Which I still havent found out if maybe the Personal (original) is capable of cutting vinyl as well. (Cricut.com) sells their vinyl-unsure if you can use any other. The accessories for the vinyl however are sold separate as well at Walmart. (somewhat pricey) HTH, Good Luck!!!
