Not sure if it's just in my head, but the sharpness of the replacement blade seems duller than the original blade that came with the machine???!?
I've debated getting the deep blade to replace the standard (that has more settings this only goes up to 6). Still debating because I'm not impressed with the replacement blades i do have the deep cutting blade which is great for thicker items like felt, and foam. For the price, I'd expect more than 2 I've just replaced my blade after having the machine for 2 months (I'm not a scrap-booker), I can't imagine how often a scrap-booker will go through a blade.
Amazon has great prices for them it's been hard using the store coupons for the Cricut accessories. So far only Hobby Lobby will accept them. Michael's refuses to because it violates their agreement with Cricut.
You HAVE to use their blades to make your cricut work so the real debate would be where to buy them, and how to get them at the best price keep checking out Amazon, I've noticed the pricing has fluctuated in the last 2 months by a few dollars.
Edited:
I've since ordered replacement blades over the last few years that I've had the machine and it really is luck of the draw! The latest set I got are insanely precise and cuts like a dream. Maybe it was just a faulty batch. If they are horrible Amazon will let you return it which has helped me take less of a gamble!
