I've used a number of cutting machines in my life, but the Juliet is by far my favorite! It cuts like butter, accurately performs print-and-cut operations, and the software is fast and easy to use. I really like the "area test" button that you can click before a job to make sure it will land in the correct place on your material. I also like the full control of the placement of the blade, so you can easily take advantage of small scraps of material. It is worth every penny!
