Craft Robo 2 Cutter or Raindrop cutter anyone?

Has anyone used this machine? Or the USCutter Raindrop? I posted on the scrapbook forum too, but it doesn't get much traffic.

I saw one of those promos for the cricut on tv this morning then realized that to get ONE font (and they don't have the one I want) costs up to $80! So I googled and came up with these alternative machines. It seems that with the craft robo you can cut anything that you put on your computer screen - may have to turn it into a jpeg file first. Their advertising definitely isn't as good as cricut so its hard to tell. It looks like a better deal tho you need to have a computer. THe US cutter Raindrop they say is for the more technically minded, but don't explain what that means. I think I'd like to get one of these. Anyone with experience to share?

I don't have either of those, but I have a Wishblade, (the older one) and I love it. I fact I'm just sitting down to do my first project since I started decorating for Christmas.

I would think that newer could only be better. I love the scrapbook pages I've done with the WB. That is mostly what I use it for. - Gail

Try www.DieCutCentral.com. I got some cartridges there for less than $40.00 for DIL for Christmas. Don't know about the other products you mentioned so will let the other's help with those. Luvs
