In reply to Lynn. Hi Lynn, Unfortunately, those models are discontinued and no longer supported by Cricut. The current Cricut models are Explore Air 2, Explore 3, Maker, Maker 3, and the Cricut Joy :)

Does this mean that its not worth buying one like the expression air 2? Can nothing be bought for it etc?

In reply to DeVee Brown. Hi DeVee, Unfortunately, that model is discontinued and is not compatible with the current Design Space software. You may be able to find instructional videos on YouTube for the older model :)

I was at a thrift store a few days ago and bought a Cricut Expressions 1. It looked to be in very good condition and 14 cartridges were included. There was also a tool set in a case along with a couple other tools, a pkg of 2 new green mats, and a couple pkgs of rolls. I have long wanted to get a Cricut machine but thought it would take too much if my time to learn how to use one. I have many other interests which take up my time. I do enjoy creating computer greeting cards so I thought adding Cricut designs could be interesting. So my quandary is that the Expression is a legacy model and no longer supported. I want learn how to work with this older version along with my computer. I’m a complete novice at this. Where do I start to learn? Can you guide me to a good place to start? Any help and information you can share with me would be most appreciated. BTW, FYI, I am 81 yrs old, still love to learn new things. I self taught myself to Crochet in my 20’s, got one of the first home computers in the early 80’s, have traveled extensively, love crafting at many different things so I am ready to learn something new. Thank you for your time.
