These awesome Cricut Prime Day deals are already live
The bundle offer on the Maker 4 is probably the most tempting of the early deals.

Cricut Amazon Prime Day is almost upon us, with the shopping event starting tomorrow. Prime Day is a great time to get the best Cricut machines for a little less. Sign up to become a Prime member to make the most of it.
This year I'm most excited about the deals on the Maker 4. The Maker 4 is far superior to the 3, with double the cutting speed. I would suggest you look at some of the bundle deals that include materials, like this Cricut Maker4 Everything bundle for $439 – which has just dropped an extra $20 in price.
These enable you to get creating straight away, plus Cricut's materials can be expensive. See below for today's best offers on a range of Cricut machines.
This Cricut Maker 4 bundle has just dropped an extra $20 off ahead of Prime Day so I don't expect it to get much cheaper. It includes a range of materials and a Cricut Access subscription. The Maker 4 is Cricut's newest machines and cuts up to twice as fast as the Maker 3.
This deal is also available in the UK for £359.99 at Cricut
The Cricut Maker 3 has been super-seeded by the Maker 4 but it is still faster and quieter than the original Maker, and does more than the Cricut Explore. The Smart Materials are fantastic as they enable you to cut without a mat. This bundle deal includes the basic tool kit along with a mix of materials to experiment with and a month's subscription to Cricut Access, which is great for getting started. Note the subscription auto-renews after one month. This is the same price as on the last Prime Day, but it has been known to drop $10 more.
Cricut has led the way on approachable heat press tech, and the EasyPress 3 is the latest and easiest to use (run from an app, it's virtually automated). A heat press, unlike an iron, distributes heat evenly across a wide space for transferring designs created on a Cricut machine to shirts, bags and mugs. This bundle offer was $30 cheaper recently and is on the 12x10-inch version. It comes with a range of tools and materials so you can get started straight away.
The Cricut Venture has been out a couple of years now and it's even cheaper now than it was last Prime Day. This machine is ideal for those who need a professional tool, it works at commercial speeds and is wide-format for a range of projects.
The Explore Air 2 doesn't work with Smart Materials, which means you'll need a mat to make the most of this older, but still capable machine. Walmart is offering $60 off and is throwing in $30 worth of digital content in for good measure.
This five piece tool set has all you need to lift, remove and place delicate cuts using your Cricut machine. At less than $15, this Basic Weeding Tool is a great way to get started.
Price check: $18.97 at Walmart
The Cricut Joy is one of the brand's most successful digital craft machines. This is a small cutter that can easily fit into a bag, ideal for taking to a friend's house for an afternoon. It's ideally for small projects such as creating cards, paper gifts, tags and perfect for making heat press designs for Cricut Mug Press. I have one, and it's a good complement to the larger Maker 3 and Explore 3 as it's easier to handle.

Foil accents can add a little bit of shine to your Cricut designs. Think cards, invitations and more. This is three tools in one with three different tips. 12 foil transfer sheets are also included and it's just got a bigger discount this Prime Day.
The Cricut Explore 4 is currently on offer for under $200 at Cricut. This costs the same as a refurbished Cricut Explore 3 just $199 so you're better off getting the newer machine.
How do I get the best Cricut Amazon Prime Day deals?
The best deals in October's Amazon Prime Day, also known as Big Deal Days, will most likely be found on Amazon, but to get the most from this sales event you'll need an Amazon Prime account. If you don't have one, read our guide to what you get with Amazon Prime benefit, including deals, free games and access to Amazon Prime video.
As Prime Day takes off, many retailers try and match or better deals, so there will be offers on other stores, and I'll be adding the best offers above as they happen. Be aware good discounts don't always mean simple price drops, sometimes you need to scratch beneath the offer and see what extras are included.
Are there alternatives to Cricut?
There are two main rivals to Cricut's craft machines. First there's Silhouette, a US company that produces machines that match up to Cricut in most categories. Take a look at our guide to the best Silhouette machines for more details. Secondly, sewing machine manufacturer Brother has a range of machines called ScanNCut; these differ in that they include a built-in scanner and CPU, so there's no need for a laptop (you can design, scan and cut directly in the craft machine). Read our Brother ScanNCut SDX2200D review for more info.
