When we launched the likcut S501, we took into consideration the fact that the price of the machine in today's vinyl market is so expensive that it puts a lot of craft enthusiasts off, wondering if it's worth it for them to spend that kind of money on a machine. This is unfortunate, no doubt, and it's not something we want to give up on a favorite hobby because of the price, so we decided to keep the price as low as possible at the beginning of the sale so that as many users as possible could experience the convenience of our vinyl cutters.
At the same time, we have a lot of free material in our software, so if you are a good designer, you can even design your own material and upload it. Our vinyl cutter will meet your needs; no doubt it will be a powerful combination of uploading your own material and making it into your own work, which will be a great sense of fulfillment.
Storage and placement of vinyl cutting machines is also one of the problems that users encounter, especially in homes that already have a lot of stuff; usually, these tools will be placed in a toolroom or on shelves, which is not so good if they are too heavy or if they have too much floor space. S501 is very small and compact. The width is 4 1/2". However, you can also use the 4.4 x 12" mat for longer cuts.
Trinity from the US is a helpful friend and wrote this in his signature:”I love to review items on Amazon, but always am 100% honest and genuine. I try every product before I review, and I am not opposed to leaving negative feedback if necessary. Obviously, price point plays a role as well as quality. I appreciate so much others that take the time and effort to post truthful reviews, as they have helped so much. Hopefully my reviews help at least a couple of people out there:)” Let's take a look at the Real Review he left today!

This is smaller than I anticipated, but I like how compact it is.
It's very easy to set up and a few minutes later I had it working.
The app is neat and quite fun to browse, although some of the images are pricey. I am a bit cheap, so opted to test it out on free images. There are quite a few free ones, thankfully, although I plan to create my own templates.
It does cut the vinyl impressively accurately and detailed. I did try out non card stock paper, and unfortunately it did not work as effectively, probably due to being too thin. But as the listing states, this should cut a variety of materials (46) without an issue. However, I'm unsure what the 46 materials are but intend to use this mostly with card stock or vinyl.
It is a neat little machine that is a great way to create a variety of crafty projects that would be time-consuming to do without. While not the better known name brand, this is much more affordable and works well.
