1Cricut Joy Xtra cutting machine
The Joy Xtra is the compact Cricut that does most of what the big machines do. It cuts vinyl, iron-on and card up to A4 width, and does print then cut for full-colour stickers from a home printer. With Smart Materials it can cut long runs without a mat, so it's great for labels and banners.
Pros
Compact but cuts A4 width.
Print then cut for stickers.
Bluetooth from a phone or laptop.
Cons
Thick materials like wood need a bigger Cricut.
