Sidekick Starter Kit 661770 Portable Manual Die Cutting & Embossing Machine for Arts & Crafts, Scrapbooking & Cardmaking, 6.35 cm Opening, 2.5" Opening, White

Great choice in a die cutter if your space is limited. I purchased this for crafting in our motorhome. So glad that I did!

So glad I got this! I have the big shot, but it’s a lot of work extra arm cranking when I do small die cuts. Having this little one saves me some effort. Wish I had got this years ago. Love the great Sizzex quality! Got this during Black Friday so a fantastic price too.

I have multiple sizes and brands of die cutting machines, but my Sidekick is my go-to machine, especially when I'm traveling. It's small enough to fit in a plastic shoebox along with cutting plates, dies, liquid adhesive, scissors, and paper pads. Perfect for paper crafting on the go. It's also great for cutting embellishments and sentiments without taking up large amounts of workspace or requiring electricity.

This was a little smaller than I needed but it works great for the dies that fit.

I love the ease of use of this machine, and have used it to cut sentiments for almost every card I have made since I purchased it. Last week, the handle broke and I reached out to Sizzix to see if it was possible to purchase a replacement handle, since I didn’t see for sale. They emailed me a response, requesting a few more photographs, which I supplied to them over the weekend. Sizzix replaced the whole unit an hour after I provided them the requested information. I didn’t even complain that the handle broke, although I was disappointed, because I did use it so often that I believe I had gotten value for my money, without the replacement. With their voluntary replacement, I am now a Sizzix first choice customer for life!

I will start with, I really do love this machine. I really do. I use it daily, and when it works, man, it is a delight. Unfortunately it is not made to take daily use, because I am on my now 4th machine. They last, for me, about a year, then the bearings fall apart and you can no longer cut with it. After the second machine broke, my Mr. FIX IT tried taking a look to see what he could do to no avail. I am not a professional card maker, but try to work on something daily. This is a great machine and I have money invested in plates, which is why I keep ordering it over and over. But I can't recommend it without telling you it's big flaw. Needs better parts.

I have had a sidekick for years. They are little work horses. I purchased this one for an extra to use when my friends come to scrapbook .

I regret buying this sidekick (orange in color), this was to replacement for the white and teal sidekick had been using for the previous 3 years worked fine until I added a shim and it got stuck and the handle broked off. This sidekick (orange in color), has had problems from its first use and I have only had it for a few days. It has to be straight on when the plates are inserted, however when the plates are inserted it shifts itself to the left causing a jam and it will not cut through. I would liked to return it but I threw away the packing.

A+++ fantastic quality look fantastic great value for money it is as described thank you

The product is smaller than I thought it would be and not all the dies fit in it. Great for small pieces that need to be cut.

Ho comprato questo prodotto per regalarlo a mia nipote, è rimasta contentissima🤗e devo dire che sono rimasta soddisfattissima anch'io! Bel prodotto,si possono fare tante cosette carine e per iniziare è ottimo! L'unica cosa che si può migliorare secondo me sono le istruzioni d'uso, renderli più complete e finalizzate.Per il resto ok

Awesome 👍🏻
