[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have had 3 cricuts over the years and they all work wonderfully. These mats are awesome. I can cut a million different things on these mats, gently clean them, and continue to use them. I try to designate mats for the types of cuts I’m making (ie paper, cardstock, leather, felt,etc). The differentiation allows me to get a lot more use out of my mats. At first the mats can be extremely sticky so putting your hands on it can help reduce the sticky just a smidge. Be careful with fibrous items because they are very tough to get clean. You’ll run through mats much quicker if you don’t use a contact sheet cover to protect your mat!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I’ve tried a few of the other brands and saved a few dollars. Not worth it. Cricut mat is the way to go. People don’t realize that a lot of the off brands measurements aren’t accurate. This mat has durability, major stick, thicker and puts up with my volume. Clean it and it’s sticky again for another run. Put the plastic protector on after every single use. Absolutely the best mat you can buy!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Local wanted 21 for a 2 pack, but this was wicked cheap. Here's a tip:\nOnly use one. When your standard grip starts to wear out, it's now light grip.\n\nIt's less expensive and you get 2. Buy it."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I have been using these mats for quite a while with my silhouette cameo. I find that they are very compatable, especially when I trim just a bit off of the top to match the measurements of the silhouette mat.\n\nThe price is my main reason for using these. You can get two mats for almost half the price of one silhouette brand mat.\n\nI use heat transfer vinyl, and the stickiness of these mats are perfect for that. I have never had an issue with them tearing my vinyl.\n\nIf you find that the stickiness has diminished, it's very easy to gently wash and air dry to regain it.\n\nI will most likely keep using these over the silhouette brand, unless they decide to come down on their prices"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These mats are great and at this price for a two-pack, you can\'t beat it. I am still rocking the classic Cricut and go through these every few months depending on how much cutting I\'m doing. These are genuine Cricut brand and come as always with covers that attach to the mat so that you can protect it from dust while not using. Fits 12" x 12" paper perfectly and it is gridded out so that you can also line up smaller paper. These are very sticky at first, but after a few cutting runs, it is perfect. Glad these are not so expensive because I\'ve never found a way to repurpose them successfully at home.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'As I\'ve mentioned with my reviews for the 12 x 24" Standard Grip mats, the Standard Grip is a bit too tacky for most vinyl projects and even the Light Grip seems to be just as tacky as the Standard Grip but after several uses of applying and removing an item from the mat it will become less and less tack. The only issue I find with the tackiness is that you must be very careful when you are removing your vinyl projects from the mat, because sometimes the vinyl will actually crinkle and bend while trying to release from the mat and causing a permanent crease in your vinyl project! I always try to roll my projects off the mat.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Purchased for my silhouette cameo. Definitely a tougher thicker mat than my silhouette mat and MUCH cheaper. If you want your grid lines to match up you have to trim it down because the borders are a bit larger than the silhouette mat. In my opinion they loose their stick much faster than silhouette mats but with a mixture of Aleene's Tack-It Over & Over and water it will be good a new. These mats STINK it goes away after a while. Be sure and let it air out before first use or you will end up with a headache!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Tried it and used it for what I needed but since have bought off brand and I find they work just as well'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'came as expected. Comes with 2 mats. Maybe it was me, but I thought it was only one mat. But there are two. I think the standard grip of Cricut mats are too sticky for paper. Vinyl it works great because vinyl has a smooth backing paper. But cardstock or thick paper, I had the worst time getting it off. But I saw a tip to make it a little less tacky, take a lint free shirt and lay it on the board and pull off a couple times and that should take off that extra amount. I have used my mat maybe 3-4 times now, and I think the stick is about right now. At least for vinyl which is what I use it for the most.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I accidentally bought an off brand mat once. First item I ever returned to Amazon. Love the cricut brand. They hold up great and last a long time! And I really love it when Amazon runs their crazy cheap cricut sales on the mats!'}]
