Empress Elite Die Cutting Machines with Large Plates - 10% Faster Electric Die Cutting and Embossing Machine for Card Making, Scrapbooking Die-Cut Machines with 360 Degree Turntable

I’m absolutely thrilled with my Anna Griffin die-cutting machine! It’s compact, fully portable, and has been a breeze to use wherever I go. The machine itself is beautifully crafted, with a lovely gold color that adds a touch of sophistication to my office space. It’s not only stylish but also practical—light enough to take with me to the coffee shop for crafting sessions or to the senior center to share with others. The die-cutting is precise, producing clean and professional-looking cuts every time, and the embosser adds that perfect, detailed touch to my projects. Everything about this machine feels high-quality, and it handles a wide variety of materials with ease. I couldn’t be happier—definitely no complaints! I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking for a portable, efficient, and beautiful die-cutting machine.

In my experience and for my use, the AG Empress Mini is the best electric die cutting machine out there! I have 5 other machines, 1 of them electric and this is by far the best one! The best thing is that the plates don't warp and the magnetic plate is much stronger than any others I've tried. No more warped plates that need to be replaced and no need for washi tape to hold my dies in place. I do use my SU! one (same as Spellbinders) manual machine for 3D embossing folders and larger dies that are too big for the AG Empress Mini.

I love my Empress. It is electronic and cuts well every time, even with dies that are less expensive. I have five die cutting machines, and this is by far the best. It is easy to use, you just feed the plates (that come with the machine) into the machine and it takes it from there. No more hand cranking. This is particularly nice for projects where you have a lot of cutting to do. It isn’t as small as most all of the hand cranking ones. It is on its own turntable which makes it quite functional. It is a rather pricey purchase, but well worth the money.

It’s an awesome little work horse. Best part is I keep it in my craft table so it’s always ready to go. I would give it 5 stars but I can’t seem to get a 3D embossing folder to go thru. I tried every plate combo.

Excellent purchase! Precision cuts in the first pass, simple to use, simple stack every time with no hand cranking and cracking plates.Pricey but delivers!

I have been looking at this little machine for two years. I have tried the Gemini Mini (disappointing), Sizzix Sidekick (have gone through three. Work great, but don't last) small electric gemini (ok but didn't really do as expected), Sizzix Switch (goes through plates like crazy), Big Shot (wore it out) and the Spellbinders Platinum (still have and use for glimmering and better prress), I feel I am home now. This little machine is amazing! This is the first machine that I have ever had that can actually be loaded with dies and cut every one like butter. I have given it quite a workout in the couple of weeks I have had it, and haven't had a die that didn't completely cut, even with the entire surface covered with dies. It is large enough to take almost every die I own. My only problem is I wish I hadn't wasted my money on the last three machines I purchased and just got this one in the first place. I don't feel the need for the large one yet, but I bet I can see that in my future.

I love the size of the machine. Its small enough to keep on my work table. The only thing i dont like is having to put the dies onn a magnet cutting side up then the paper and clear plate. So its extremely hard to see if your covering your whole dye. I have only had for a short time so havent been able to experiment. I use a lot of water color paper which is heavier paper this has to sometimes be run through twice to get a nice clean cut. But so far i am happy with this machine. UPDATE: This is the third machine i have purchased. The first two didn't cut worth a darn. No problem returning for the exact same item. I’ve changed my opinion 100% don’t waste your money. When i first got the third machine it worked beautifully i was GREAT…the others were lemons. Well after a few months of use i am now stuck with another lemon. It wont cut all the way through 60 /80 lb cardstock. I am so upset. I gave my gemini mini to my sister when i purchased this one so now im stuck with a lemon because past the return date and have to put out more money for another machine i gave away. I HATE this machine brand has done nothing but cause me problems. I purchased all new plates, magnet and metal shim thinking plates. Nope…it cuts fairly well around the edges but not in the middle and this machine is to small to move the die over to another spot on the roller. Its like the center of the roller has no pressure at all. I get an embossing look in the center of the design. Now its christmas time lots to do and have to order another ( different) brand machine. Seriously dont waste your money. 1st picture didnt even cut around the edges let alone the middle. 2nd picture vut out in a few spots but mainly embossed the design 3rd try hit a halfway decent cut but had to it through three times and still had to use scissors to cut some if the spots. This is NOT a super detailed design so no reason it shouldn't be cutting.

This is a fabulous cutting machine. Very clean cuts, no added trimming to be done. Heavy duty, very well built.
