Sizzix Tim Holtz Vagabond 2 Electric Die Cutting Machine 660855, 6" (15.24cm) Opening, 6 in (15.24 cm)

I love this machine. It cuts with all my die cuts perfectly with one pass, even the most intricate. It's easy to use with the pictures to remind you of the sandwiches you need for cutting and embossing. I love the way it looks like a little suitcase when closed. It is a little heavy, but I don't mind that. I do think the extra plates needed such as the precision plate for intricate dies, and the magnetic plate for keeping metal dies in place while cutting are expensive, and should be included with the purchase. You surely don't get anything extra with this set. Other machines include multiple dies and embossing plates. It is a good machine.

After using the sizzix big shot plus, and trying another electric die cutting machine, we are more than pleased with the vagabond. While it will not take the larger dies like the plus does, it is precise and consistent with all of the dies that will fit in it. Embossing works well also. The motor is very strong, I feel that it is providing consistent pressure and feed rate which is important when we are making many cuts with the same die, or embossing many copies of the same item. It is a very sturdy machine, I feel that it is well made, and it fits on a small wooden TV tray and can be moved out of the way when not being used. Because we are not cranking and pulling, it is stable enough to be used on the small table. It came packaged with the basic platforms and shims to do most projects, although we have added a few other items for our convenience. We will be using this for a long time.

After having sore hands from using a manual machine, I really appreciate the Vagabond 2. It sets up quickly right out of the box and works very easily and well. Some things that were not cutting cleanly with my manual machine are breezing through this one. It is also a very cute design. The whole thing folds up to look like a small suitcase that you can store in minimal space. Just got it so I hope it lasts because I love it!

My electric die cut machine broke and even though I have a hand crank die cut machine I really needed an electric machine to cut intricate dies. You can never go wrong with a Tim Holtz product. Although the machine is heavy (if you like to weight lift this is a good substitute!) it works beautifully and is VERY easy to use. There are 2 buttons to push and that is it.VERY happy with my machine.

I have been using this Vagabond 2 every day since receiving it and absolutely love it. If you are tired of cranking on machines that fly all over your table when you are die cutting be assured that this Vagabond won't travel. It is heavy duty and so quiet. Cutting small thin dies is a breeze and you don't have to send it through 2 or 3 times. Efficiently cuts even the ones with tiny little details. Haven't done embossing yet but know it will be impressive after watching Tim Holtz on YouTube. I spray a fine water mist on the paper then let it sit for a while til it's cool to the touch then run it through and the embossing that's created it deeper and more pronounced. Depends on the type of paper of course but Tim even did grunge board that turned out beautifully. Love Love Love this Vagabond 2. This is all my opinion of course but if you are curious to see what I am talking about Amazon has an amazing price on the Vagabond 2 and you will be amazed at how much easier die cutting will be. This would be great for people that have limited range of motion or weakness in their hands. I highly recommend this machine. Well, it is November of 2020 and the Vagabond 2 is still holding up real well after running hundreds of all different kinds of dies through it so, I still highly recommend it. Love my Vagabond 2!

This product delivers as promised. Diecutting is a breeze. I was having trouble cranking my old Big Shot and decided to try an electric machine. The Vagabond seemed to have better reviews than the electric Big Shot, and the price was better. I highly recommend this product. I now use my Big Shot for embossing, which eliminates the need to switch platforms.

Love my Big Shot/Big Kick but needed something I didn't have to crank because of arthritis. This helps a lot, and it's very easy to use. Nice to set up on a counter where there is an electrical outlet and room to lay out supplies so you can cut through a lot of items quickly. Hand cranking is still quicker, but that's not an option for me any more, and this allows me to continue to enjoy paper crafts.

This machine is awesome! I previously had a Cuttlebug which worked great for many many years so I was hesitant to upgrade to the Vagabond. I have a Cameo for cutting, and basically just use this type of tool for embossing. I chose this machine because it boasted handling up to four sheets of paper in one pass. With my cuttlebug, I COULD do two but it took excessive force to manually crank it through and I couldn't do more than a couple passes with two pieces before my arm got sore. This machine does three to four pieces of card stock at a time with just the push of a button making it extremely efficient and easy to use. Additionally, it's easy to set-up, the various platforms are clearly marked for different usages, and it's fairly quiet while in use.
