Looks to be the same model as I have. I paid around £200. It's a typical Chinese machine, nothing fancy. The laser dot does nothing for optical work, mine stopped working very soon after I bought it anyway.
If I could afford a better one I would but for what little vinyl work I do this does the job, all depends how much use you'll give it really.
I think this is a different seller from mine. I had a nightmare when I bought it, may be worth looking at our Suppliers list in the General section and seeing what they can offer.

Hi Paula! Its simple, Chinese cutter. they dont have best reputation as you can not rely on them as you would on more expensive ones. but i own seiki 720T and after two days of trying to install it i managed to start enjoy cuting

so i would say yes. is worth to have a play and do some t-shirts

but if you thinking about serious business tool i would invest for something more reliable.
os. before you buy please make sure you find out what software you can use with it. i recommend FlexiStarter.

Yeah, software can be a pain with these cutters. You can use Coraldraw if you get the plug in to work. Just set your expectations low! lol.
Installation can be tricky and with mine if I unplug it's a pig to set up again.

I tried corel with my cutter. is so limited that i stopped use it instantly. I didn't use any plug in tho... i had it installed as a printer.

I'm going to change my mind on my advice here. Forget this one and buy a decent one! lol. if you intend to use it more than 'every now and then' get something better.

Think I might give this a miss then, sounds like a lot of hassle.
Thanks all for your input.

If you don't need a wide cutter look at the new Cameo, does A3 I believe.
