mom2monkiesx3 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 DD got this Saturday SMIL paid $10 for it on clearance at Walmart, little did she know I had bought the princess one for 4.88 at Target and put it up for her bday the 29th... It is HORRIBLE it doesn't work for anything, it tears everything. We've already TRIED to cut some of the included papers..would you still try to take it back? Anyone else want to add their review? Needless to say the princess one is headed straight back to Target...$5 in my pocket is better than this piece of junk in the closet!!
my2aboys Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 The one we got is JUNK too. I wish I would have read the reviews before I got it. Also bought it at Target for 4.xx. My DS was so excited to try it ... then very frustrated. I was too. Waste of $ for sure!

Or you could write the company
Steakgoddess Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 The Crayola Cutter perforates, it doesn't actually cut through the paper. You have to pop out the object that you cut. It surely isn't something I would use for detailed crafts, but for the kids, it works just fine.
mom2monkiesx3 Posted March 10, 2008 Author Posted March 10, 2008 I just emailed the company, we will see what they say before I try to take it back to Walmart (UGH!) I HATE these companies that hype something up so GREAT in commercials and then it doesnt even attempt to work when your child buys it, I sure hope Crayola is not headed in that direction!! Hope a few people see this and save their money!
Lyricsmama Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 We got our DD one for Xmas, she loves it, works great for her.
dixieshell Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 call crayola and complain and they will send you a coupon to get a replacement item,i know because i did this with other items such as soft sticks.they want their customers happy and you talk to someone also which is better
amberleigh2 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 We got it last year for christmas..played w/it once & in the trash it went!! The commercial made it look so neat, but it was'nt in our case unfortunatley we've found that out alot w/ toys on commercials esp. hot wheels things...they never do what they do on t.v.!! My poor ds is always disappointed! O'well!! I never thought of calling crayola, very good idea!!
ailes220 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 we also got one for xmas-my dd 7,tried to play with it once we took it back to walmart(i am glad i had the receipt) and said it didn't work. they gave me my money back after they took everything out of the box to make sure i hadn't kept any of it. it was a big disappointment to us also.
emschmitz Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 My daughter loves her's but she doesn't get the change to play with it too often because I am afraid she will hurt herself. I thought it was a piece of junk at first until I started reading up on it a little further to find out it doesn't completely cut the image out, it perforates it and then you have to pop it out. It works great for us since now we know how to use it.
JackJack Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 DD got one for Christmas and haasn't opened it yet. Did Crayola ever get back to you?? I usually LOVE everything Crayola.
justjessie99 Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 of course take it back... I would also complain to the company.. it sounds like others have had issue also.....Crayola needs to step up their quailty control.
mom2monkiesx3 Posted March 16, 2008 Author Posted March 16, 2008 They called me back FRIDAY and left a message I am supposed to call them back, not sure when I will get around to that, hopefully tomorrow and I'll update then. We also LOVE everything Crayola!
tntsmomie Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 I just called Crayola customer service on Friday after a quality control issue with two different boxes of crayons. (More than half were broken when we opened the box) The lady was incredibly nice, and is sending us $12 in coupons for free products. Definitely give them a call. They were pretty helpful!
BixB Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 DD got a Cutter because she really likes craft stuff. But this was a dud. The cutter part would just make a mark on whatever paper we tried. There is no way she could have made any of the extra project packages that I bought. I really liked the fashion one, too. It would have been so much fun for her. Don't buy it! (is my suggestion.)
