    Almost perfect.

    "Love that it folds up. Love the larger size, I can cut many dies at once. The only thing I didn’t like was cutting on plate C. The noise was terrible and I think the wear on the dies won’t be good over time. I grabbed my magic mat and used it. That made a huge difference. I found Anna Griffin sells a larger mat and I’m going to use that instead of the C plate to cut on. It would be great if the machine would come with a magnetic mat specifically for the platinum 8 1/2 inch wide."

    They made it right

    "I received a "new" platinum that just didn't work well. The crank handle was already installed, leading me to believe it wasn't actually "new", the carry handle was broken, and the side panel popped off every time I tried to crank the turn handle. It took 2 people to hold it down and crank the handle and sometimes it simply wouldn't move plates through it. I contacted the company and sent videos of us trying to use it. They sent me a new machine - that wasn't already assembled - and it works well. I love the width of the platform and am happy I chose Spellbinders."

    Love my Platinum Machine

    "Recently splurged to purchase this machine. Although it is heavy and I had to find a place where I will not need to move it too much, it is well made and cuts like butter! Very happy with my purchase."

    — Kathleen O. (5/5)

    Great machine, this is my second one

    "This is an expensive machine, works great at first, I hope this one last longer than my other one (2021)… I am told the Gemini Jr is a great machine and electric , that will be my next purchase"

    — Cynthia M. (3/5)

    Potential to be a great potencial

    "It cuts very well, but its very strong and cause the plates to warp from the first cut. Also it's very challenging to find the correct placement of the plates in order to cut."

    Little Ranju

    "I loved how it embosses my embossing folders. Cuts my dies like butter. I like the size for all my large dies"

    — Ranjana B. (5/5)

    Worth it

    "Recently upgraded my 6 inch platform to this and it’s a game changer. The large cutting area lets me cut so many things at once so it saves me so much time."

    — Sara C. (5/5)

    Well worth purchasing
