    I like it .... sooo much quieter than the Big Shot Express ever was!
    It sits on my desk and doesn't move - well except to open it up or to close it up to stop Tigger poking her nose in it .... she's just as fascinated watching the printer working...!

    I jammed mine once with the wrong sandwich - it took a while but got it out by switching it on, reverse it out until it stopped again. Switched it off. Switched it on , reverse it out until it stops. It only pulled it out a bit at a time and I had to repeat this a number of times but eventually it came out - the only damage was to my tan embossing mats

    I love mine now that I have a new replacement for my broken down one

    I haven't used this one as much as the old one, so can't tell yet if I was just unlucky with the first one. I am hoping that this one lives a long and happy life

    By pressing the button to reverse a spark came out and then nothing but smoke. Really did / do love the vagabond but totally scared to replace it again encase the motor goes again. Really thinking about buying a Big Shot manual - no motors.

    Due to joint problems in my hands etc I was really interested in buying an electric machine that was capable of cutting stuff like mountboard with my dies, the same as I do on the big shot. I put off buying the Bigshot express because of the Vagabond coming out but all these problems with the machine have put me off getting it. Is the express still available, most of the shops I've looked at online don't seem to have it now just the vagabond. Also is the express more reliable in peoples opinion?

    Thanks
