Best Silhouette Machines: Reviews

1. Silhouette SILHOUETTE-CAMEO-3-4T

The Silhouette SILHOUETTE-CAMEO-3-4T is quite an affordable cutting machine, and although it’s not overly expensive, it still comes with an impressive array of features.

Review

The Silhouette SILHOUETTE-CAMEO-3-4T is a Bluetooth-enabled cutting machine, which means that it has the ability to connect to your computer via wireless connection, although you can also plug it in directly if you need to.

What is really cool is that this is actually the only Silhouette machine which is compatible with the self-adjusting autoblade, which is a really convenient tool. It features a dual carriage for using multiple tools at once.

This cutting machine can cut a variety of materials including fabrics, paper, vinyl, cardstock, and other materials too.

Keep in mind that the Silhouette SILHOUETTE-CAMEO-3-4T can handle materials up to 12 inches wide and 10 feet long.

You also get Silhouette Studio design software included for free, so you can create and design virtually anything with ease.

PROS	CONS
User-friendly	Durability is a bit limited
Affordable	Cannot handle super thick materials like leather
Dual carriage design
Can handle a variety of materials
Design software included for free

2. Silhouette Portrait 2

Here we have a much smaller and simpler Silhouette machine, the Silhouette Portrait 2 which comes  at a significantly lower cost than the previous one we looked at, but it doesn’t have quite as many features.

Review

The Silhouette Portrait 2 is another of the newer models, and therefore it comes with the self-adjusting autoblade.

What’s awesome is that the blade adjusts itself to suit the cutting job at hand for whatever material you have chosen to cut.

Keep in mind that the Silhouette Portrait 2 can cut over 100 different materials, and this included vinyl, heat transfer material, cardstock, a variety of fabrics, and more. It can handle everything but the very thickest of materials.

What’s also cool about the Silhouette Portrait 2 is that it comes with design software that is compatible with both Mac and PC, plus there are thousands and thousands of digital designs you can choose from.

PROS	CONS
For Mac and PC	Cannot handle very large jobs
Can handle lots of materials	Doesn’t do so well with thick materials
Comes with the autoblade
Small and portable
Very affordable

3. Silhouette America Curio Crafting Printer

Here is actually the most cost-effective and affordable Silhouette machine on our list so far. It’s small, portable, and super user-friendly too.

Review

The Silhouette America Curio Crafting Printer is designed to be portable, small, and lightweight, and although it is usually not the kind of thing you would take with you on the go, it certainly allows for it.

Moreover, it is used to print out a variety of materials and it can handle things like paper, cardstock, vinyl, fabrics, and much more. The only things it cannot deal with are very thick and rough materials, such as leather.

What’s cool is that the Silhouette America Curio Crafting Printer can embellish metals and foils, although this tool is sold separately.

For such a low price, it actually has quite a selection of features. With everything being said, the Silhouette America Curio Crafting Printer could probably use an upgrade in terms of durability and longevity.

PROS	CONS
Can handle a variety of materials	Not the most durable
Super easy to use	Cannot handle very thick materials
Small and portable
Many cutting, design, and embossing functions
Super affordable

4. Silhouette Mint Custom Printer

If you want to create custom ink stamps with your own design on them, this Silhouette Mint Custom Printer is a great option.

Review

One thing that stands out about the Silhouette Mint Custom Printer is how small and portable it is. It can easily fit in a backpack or something similar, it’s lightweight, and super easy to take with you.

When you purchase the Silhouette Mint Custom Printer, you also get the included stamp-making kit, as well as the ink, so you can create custom stamps with custom colors.

You will get the Mint design studio included, so you can create your own custom stamps from scratch, or you can choose from ones that are already uploaded. You can turn any imported photo into a stamp.

It’s not a huge machine and it’s not meant for materials cutting, but it does make some pretty cool stamps.

PROS	CONS
Very easy to use	Makes only stamps
Makes cool stamps	Limited durability
Upload any photo and turn into a stamp	Requires ink refills quite often
Very affordable
Small and portable

5. Silhouette America Silhouette Alta 3D Printer

Here is a killer 3D printer, but for a 3D printer, the Silhouette America Silhouette Alta 3D Printer is actually not very expensive.

Review

While the Silhouette America Silhouette Alta 3D Printer is technically the most expensive machine on our list today, for a 3D printer, it’s actually very inexpensive.

You get 3D printer design software included, so you can design your own printouts, then bring them to life with this machine.

It’s not the most advanced 3D printer out there, but then again, for such a low price, the variety and size of designs it can create in real 3D is quite impressive.

PROS	CONS
Inexpensive 3D printer	Not nearly as advanced as other 3D printers
Software included	Limited longevity
Fairly durable
Impressive for the price

Conclusion

The item you choose to go with really depends on what kind of Silhouette machine you want. Do you want a 3D printer, a stamp machine, or a cutting machine?
