Before this, I've only used the official Cricut mats, but I've been short on funds so I thought I would try these out instead.So far, I've cut about 8 pages of stickers across these 3 mats (mostly just using 2 of them).Compared to the Cricut purple strong grip mats, I feel like the adhesive is a bit less strong. That's not a problem for me, as the Cricut ones are a little /too/ strong sometimes (I have to tamp them down with a towel or something before using them for the first time!) So these work perfect.Of course, these are "Strong" adhesive mats, so it's not recommended that you use normal paper or cardstock with them. It will tear. Don't blame the poor mat for your paper tearing on a Strong Grip mat. Look for standard or light grip instead. I use these mats with high quality sticker paper and it works great. (there /is/ paper tearing as you can see in the picture, but really it's nothing new compared to the brand name mats, especially for the first few uses. The stickers themselves don't tear if I'm careful, so I don't mind.)There's no odor problem for me (it smells a bit stronger than Cricut mats, but it's not noticeable. And I'm sensitive to weird smells!!!), and no adhesive transferring/coming off problem. Also no snapping. Just creasing...Which reminds me, my only gripe is that these are more easy to crease than the brand name mats. I have to fold the mat gently so that my stickers will peel off easily, but if I'm not super careful I can create permanent creases in the mat. I haven't heard or seen any cracking in the mat, but these are definitely less durable and flexible than Cricut mats. Though, Cricut mats also crease sometimes and I haven't noticed any problems with cutting, so I don't think it's a huge problem. I suppose only time will tell if i have to throw the mats out because of creasing or stickiness loss first. And these are so cheap that I'm sure I'll be spending less than with Cricut mats anyway.Brand name mats tend to last me a few months with frequent use, so I'm curious (and a bit concerned) now long these will last me. Being significantly cheaper than Cricut mats, it might be worth it if they only last a month or so.In conclusion, I'm happy with the product! If it breaks in half, only lasts a few weeks, or I find any other issues with long term use, I will update the review.Just as good as the brand name Matts but much cheaper, arrived very quicklySturdy, sticky, great dupe for the Cricut mats$7 bucks for 3’thats a deal. Mat is sturdy, highly recommended purchasing.Works just as well as cricut mata well worth the priceAll I order are those matsDelivered fast, priced better than most a s better then at retail stores. Sturdy and undamaged.Had some issues with the standard grip being WAY to sticky and ruined a couple of my projects. Other than that, they're perfect.No tengo ningún tipo de queja con estos tapetes, los compré el año pasado para corte de vinil textil y hasta la fecha sigo usando la misma alfombrilla, las otras dos siguen guardadas e intactas. He de recalcar que al inicio la adherencia es muy agresiva pero con el uso se soluciona eso. Así que, en calidad precio, son mejores estas que las originales.They’re the same adhesion as the cricut mats but less expensive.In the beginning they are extremely adherent as they age they calm down a bit and are perfect, a good buy forsure, I will purchase againWorks great. WOULD RECOMMENDesta muy bien
