To be honest, not too crazy about this machine. The only thing I like is that if you were to do a lot of die cutting you don’t have to do it by cracking the machine by hand. Had sizzix for 20 years now, and if I knew iI would have buy the sizzix with the button on the side to do the die cutting, etc. Not loving embossing with it had to replace the embossing plate already.

I've wanted one of these for quite a while. They've been out of stock and when I got the notice that they were back, I ordered immediately. I love it. It does such a good job of die-cutting. So nice that I no longer need to turn a crank but everything is electric and automatic. This was my last big purchase for my new craft room and I love it.

This machine is great. I got tired of cranking away on my
Cuttlebug. Great for small jobs when I don't want to use my
larger machines. Scrapbook.com had the lowest price anywhere. As always, their service is great. Had my machine in just a few days.
Would highly recommend the Gemini Junior as well as Scrapbook.com.

After opening Gemini Jr and running thin dies through machine 3 times one of the clear plates warped. After watching a YouTube video by Jennifer McQuire (made 4 mo ago) on the machine I learned a lot about using the machine and things are much better now. It would be good if Gemini Jr. put reference to her video in their instructions. I almost returned the machine.

I have only used it a couple of times so far. It is much louder than I expected. The first time I used it, I tried one of the dies that came with machine, and I used the sandwich that is recommended in the book. It was too thick and had to play around to find the right sandwich. Hopefully, it will be easier/quicker as I get used to it. The die cuts came out great!

I've only used the gemini junior for a couple of days but so far I love it. My only concern will be warping of the plates. They seem to warp faster than my manual Big Shot plates. I'm impressed how well it cuts on all my dies especially my intricate dies. I feel pretty certain I'm going to enjoy the easy of using it. I'd definitely would recommend the product.

I love how simple it is. I am surprised on how powerful it is. It bowed my plates the first time I used it. Just have to turn them around and over every time. I am an older person and do like my big shot but you do get a little weaker as you get older. The three D folders are a snap in this machine. Thank you, Gwen

I absolutely love the Gemini Jr. I had a Big Shot that I had for years and decided I wanted/needed an electric machine. So easy to use. I highly recommend.

Full confession, I didn't buy mine from here: I didn't think sc.com would be carrying the product because they carry many competitors' machines. I bought mine directly from the manufacturer, just before Christmas, and have really enjoyed using it.
It's really powerful: with the right dies (steel ruled) you can cut almost anything. It also does a beautiful job with 3D embossing folders AND it will cut with even the most annoying thin metal dies. I had a couple of intricate dies that I was about to pitch in the trash before I got this thing: they work just fine with the Gemini and the right "sandwich."
I didn't go for the larger machine because of space considerations but, if it works as well as the Junior (which I'm sure it does) I'd recommend that size for folks who want to go bigger with their die-cutting and embossing.

I have to say, I have not been impressed. I think my biggest issue is with the pause and backward buttons. I hit pause and it just doesn’t. Or when it finally does and then I hit the backward button, it just doesn’t. I would send it back if I hadn’t already thrown away the box. I also have to fidget with the plates to no end. I end up throwing away twice as much perfectly good paper testing different plate configurations to figure out which one’s really going to work. Never really had that problem with my last machine. I waited a long time to buy an electric machine, and I was super excited when I ordered this. So it just makes it all that much more disappointing.

Is anyone having trouble with the plastic shim warping? I have replaced about 5 of them and haven't found the secret.

Hi... Yes I do. Warping plates is something we cannot avoid when it comes to die-cutting machine. I got this machine 3 years ago and still use the original plates. I just keep flipping them every time I use them. I washed the plates with warm water plus I soak them a few minute in very warm water (not too hot to touch) with putting heavy object on top of the section that need to be flatten, this will not make the plate perfectly flat but flat enough to continue its life of usage. Also, there are several tricks people share on YouTube how to take care the plates. I hope this answer can help you. Thank you.

I have a sizzix and those pads warp as well. It drives me nuts to see the scratches and bends. I started using a magic mat and like it.

Would this be portable to take to a crop? What's the largest die that can fit in this machine. Thank you!

can one buy from you a machine that is compatible for 220v (european Voltage)?
I bought a UK version of the A4 gemini with 220-240 voltage from ebay UK and have used it with a step up step down vo!tage converter. You need a voltage converter to use it in a country with different voltage, and a plug converter is not the same thing or the right thing. You will need a plug converter as well to be able to plug it in. Just don't think that is enough. I have seen many people blaming plug converters for burning out their appliances because they thought they were also supposed to be voltage converters. Make sure you get a voltage converter that is more powerful than you think you need (2 or 3x) or you can burn the machine out if it is a US model that you want to use with 220-240. I wanted one of that voltage because I plan to move back to England. I bought a gemini pro from Crafter's Companion UK site, the purchase of the UK model was confirmed, there was no contact at all from them, and then one day 5+ weeks later a US version was dumped at my front door. It was a major hassle getting them (CC US) to take it back. CC are ignorant of voltage converters and don't want to know.

I found a website for Crafters Companion for Great Britain and they say the machine cannot be shipped to US and Canada due to voltage requirements. Here is the URL… https://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/crafter-s-companion-gemini-multi-media-machine.html
