I compared prices and Scrapbook.com has the best prices out there on this machine. One thing I have noticed compared to the regular Big Shot is that it really seems to give more pressure. It just seems to cut better. idk why. And the size of the machine is perfect for your regular 8.5 x 11 inch card stock. No doubt this is my new go-to machine for cutting. It's amazing once you get it home, how small the Big Shot is compared to it. I only wish I bought it sooner. There is a lot of crafts I couldn't make due to the small size of the Big Shot. But that's okay. I will use my small machine for cutting flowers etc. I love my new machine very much, Thank You Scrapbook.com!" - billiegiordano Wow, even better than expected! "I have had a Big Shot for at least a couple of years and love it but I wanted a machine that could use the wider dies and also have a bigger footprint where I could make multiple cuts. I expected the Big Shot Plus to weigh more, but it feels lighter, or at least it isn't any heavier than the regular Big Shot, so I am very pleased with that. I am also happy the wider footprint has created the unit to be more stable so I don't have to hold the top handle and can use my free hand to guide the plates in so there is no side to side wobble like I sometimes get with the Big Shot. I also love the platform where I don't fold it to the tab number I need but instead use the independent pieces to create my sandwich. This allows me to use the BS Plus in a smaller area! The regular BS platform when folded out takes up an additional 12 inches and that is a huge problem when I am attending crops where space is premium." - northseattledonna A NEW TOY! "I'm giving this NEW TOY 5 Stars because when I received it I was pleasantly surprised. It is sturdy and well built. Haven't started using this yet, but, I'm sure once I begin, I will be hooked. Trying to gather all the materials I will be using and can't forget to mention all the informative videos I've been watching. This is the first time I have ever used a die machine. So, I am excited and a little cautious at the same time. AND, so many dies out there!" - gma595

    Big Shot Plus

    I am pleased with my purchase and enjoying learning how to use it. I did not give it a 5 star review because my "complete designer bundle" description included storage envelopes for two of the die sets that were not included in my package. As a result, I had to purchased them separately at added expense to protect the dies.

    Miracle machine!

    This was my first experience with a die cutting machine--wish I'd known about them sooner! I appreciated the "how to" videos on Scrapbooking.com--they were easy to follow and gave me the directions and ideas that I needed as a beginner. I learned rapidly and have had a great time making kites, flowers, birds, fences, etc. etc. and my scrapbooks are growing exponentially ever since. It's cut my page making time by hours. It's far superior to cutting with a scissors!

    I'm in Heaven

    I am over the moon about this new, larger Big Shot. It is as awesome as my smaller, original, but allows me to get into bigger dies which I have been wanting to do for the longest time. I would highly recommend it, and this site, for the great price and very quick shipping. The machine arrived in stellar condition.

    A Big Machine That Means Business

    The Big Shot Plus is a BIG machine that provides a whole new way to die cut. You can do full-page cut outs. In terms of its use and stability, etc., it is as well engineered as regular BigShot. I love it and am looking for new ways to take advantage of the platform. I do, however, recommend having either a Big Shot or a Big Kick machine on hand. . . some jobs don't require this scale of operation.

    Big Shot Plus Machine

    Love the larger "work" area! Also like that the noise of the "speed bump" that you would get with the Big Shot ,........when you run the "sandwich" through.....is not as loud.
    A good tip is......when you do have your "sandwich" formed....just tilt the "sandwich" a tad either way....then run it through......and you don't get the noise at all!!!!!

    BIG SHOT PLUS MACHINE

    I really have not used my new Big Shot Plus much, but took it out of the box, set it up and tried an intricate die and it worked like a charm--no hesitation and the die glided through very smoothly. I am looking forward to having fun with my new die-cutting machine! It is heavy enough that it does not slide around as some of the other machines do. It stays in place and seems to cut effortlessly! I am very happy with my purchase! The price on Scrapbook.com was the best I could find!

    IT'S A PLUS!!!!!

    Love my new Big Shot Plus!!!
    For years I had been using a cuttlebug, which I love, But I wanted a more stable base.
    The Plus was the perfect solution!!!! I love the sturdy
    base....the wider area to work with without being too cumbersome. ..the neutral color for leaving out in my kitchen and the reasonable price compared to the Pro!
    I am a very happy crafter!!!
    My new Plus is definitely a Plus!

    I love the product but...

    All the products arrived without their original packaging. I did not receive any of the "storage envelopes" that are described in the product. The detail is as follows: when I go to test the machine I had to return to the description of the product in the Order, I did not know if they were Thinlits Dies, Sizzlits Dies, Triplits Dies ... this is my first purchase. Of the rest, the product looks excellent quality, I loved what I have done and I hope to do many projects with it.

Questions & Answers
  • Hi! I am thinking of purchasing the Big Shot Plus, but I to am confused by a statement I have heard. Can you use the Bigz dies
    or the Movers and Shapers in this machine, and do not use the Bigz Pro or XL? I was just looking at the pdf
    you sent today, and of course this machine is not listed. Sizzix has so many products, it would be helpful
    to have a list of the specific cans and cannots for the Plus machine.   By: Jcrisci (30-Jul-15) Helpful Question?  Yes  |  No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This question has been reported. Thank you!

    • From what I've read about it, the only dies that can NOT be used by the B.S. Plus is the Bigz PRO dies (Big Shot PRO)..the only difference between the Big Shot & the Big Shot Plus, is the size of workspace- You can use ALL of the Sizzix dies, embossing folders, etc.- EXCEPT FOR BIGZ PRO DIES! By: alyssenicole (13-Oct-15) Helpful Answer?  Yes  |  No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This Answer has been reported. Thank you!

    • If you already own a BigShot - you can use any of those plates on the BigShot Plus You can use the same dies, the Movers and Shapers, etc. As far as I know right now, any of the products that Sizzix makes can be use with the BigShot Plus. At this time I feel the plus gives you more surface area for cutting and you can use wider sheets of paper. I'm not sure what you mean by a specific list of cans and cannot for the plus. Here is my answer for that: you can use all the dies with the plus that you would use for the regular BigShot. I haven't come across any 'can nots' yet!

    • If you plan to emboss with a die instead of using an embossing folder, you'll need to get a Texture Impression Pad and a Silicon Rubber Pad - buy both of them, as they work together even though they aren't sold together.

    This question is about a related product.
    • The size dimensions of the standard cutting pads and adapters for this product are 15 3/4" x 11 3/4" x 7 1/2". I
      prefer to use the magnetic platform for wafer-thin dies; 6 1/8" x 8 7/8" x 5/8". I do not use adapters., just the cutting pads in the same size.
      You can also use the larger platform and adapters included with the Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine but they are to big for the dies I am using.

    If u have a cricut maker- is it worth getting this?   By: User (28-Apr-21) Helpful Question?  Yes  |  No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This question has been reported. Thank you!
    • I have a Cricut and a Big shot and I find both are invaluable for different reasons. I started with a just a Cricut a couple years ago. Shortly after getting my Cricut, I discovered embossing folders, which you can't do on a Cricut. That led me to getting a Cuttlebug on clearance from Cricut, but didn't realize at the time that it was discontinued (hence the clearance sale, lol). I used it for a while, but got more interested in intricate dies, cover plates, and coordinating dies with stamp sets that the Cuttlebug didn't do very well at cutting without having to add a bunch of shims, etc. It works great for embossing, but lacks in die cutting, especially when not using Cuttlebug specific dies. That led me to upgrade to the Big Shot, which I got on sale with a coupon, etc., so it was a win-win. I found that some intricate dies are just better with a machine like the Big Shot. And sometimes you just want to cut something quickly and don't have the time to fuss with Design Space.

      The Cricut is great, but there are just some things the manual die cutting machines are just better at. Also, at the time, using the Cricut to cut out stamped images was cumbersome due to the way the software worked when you scan things in. This was before they had the "offset" function they have now in Design Space, so having a manual machine with the coordinating dies to stamp sets worked better and was faster. It's easier now with Design Space having the "offset" function, but it still takes time to set that up initially when you have a new stamp set. I like having both, as they each have their uses and things they're better at. Cutting paper strips or nesting dies is MUCH faster with a manual machine than it is to set up on Cricut. But Scrapbook.com was right, it really depends on what you want to do with it. Some find one or the other is all they need, some overachievers, like me, love having both options. All I can do is share what works for me :) By: moosedawg71 (21-Feb-22) Helpful Answer?  Yes  |  No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This Answer has been reported. Thank you!

    • It really depends on the type of projects you are wanting to make. This machine will cut out shapes using dies but also can add texture using embossing plates. By: Scrapbook.com (29-Apr-21) Helpful Answer?  Yes  |  No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This Answer has been reported. Thank you!
