@Jonathan what kind of vinyl cutter did you use at school? Would you recommend it?

Sorry for being offtopic. I'm looking for a good vinyl cutter and I haven't decided right now which would be the best for me.

I've been researching the subject for a few weeks now and I'm not ahead in one bit. Like all the reviews i've read were misleading. Every website was hyping the product and that's it. I mean there are no negatives?

Anyways after countless hours of searching I've found a site that seems to be legit. From this best of the best roundup post which one would you choose for a hobby operation. Since all the machines have flaws I'm on the fence.

Like Industrial grade are super expensive plus you have to pay for the software and most of them are not compatible with a mac. With desktop cutters are other difficulties.

I will highly appreciate your input any tips ideas are welcome
