What can you really say? …. Well it’s made by cricket for cricket so the qualities is definitely top-notch and as long as you check the layout of your canvas, making sure you’re cutting area is correct than your blades will not destroy the matt and properly cut your material.If you’re new to cricket then realize that the maths will not last forever, but with proper care, you should be able to create many projects on each Matt before having to replace it.It is important to make sure your Matt is properly placed into the tabs that hold the mat down while feeding the mat into the machine because if not, the Matt could possibly feed sideways bending your mat, I do wish that cricket would’ve made the feed hold down tabs a little wider, preventing the possibility of the mat, not feeding properly into the machine.In regards to the functionality of this, Matt, it does what it’s supposed to do and hold your material enough that it should not destroy the material once trying to peel it away, but it is important to use the bending technique when removing your material from the Matt and not just try and peel it away if it’s lying flat..Also in regards to cleaning the Matt, I just use a little bit of dish soap and water using my hand to scrub the mouth clean and then just let it air dry and the sticky material is still able to be used on your next project.All of the photos presented in this review were performed on one Matt and the Matt is still performing as it did on day one which demonstrates the quality of the Matt and its performance.Hope this review is helpful!

Real Cricut brand item. Great price for amount. Wish these mats stayed sticky longer.

Works as advertised. Doesn’t shred my cardstock. Easy to clean. Durable.

Definitely Cricut genuine Matts, the stickiness is great for making stickers. It doesn't leave any residue behind my sticker paper. The size fits the Cricut (as it should). I haven't had one break on me so they are durable! Will order again!

Great value for this multi pack! I love having multiple mats so I can keep the cutting process moving. The light stickiness is perfect for my projects.

I always try to buy them when they go on sale. Cricut brand are the best. They aren’t that sticky like the off brand ones where they leave residue on sticker paper and cardstock.

I absolutely love my Cricut and all the crafty projects it lets me dive into, but there’s one thing I really hate is how quickly my cutting mats lose their stickiness. I’ve seen tons of “hacks” to bring the stickiness back, but I’m too scared of messing up my cutting blade or, heaven forbid, my entire Cricut machine. So, I’ve learned it’s just more cost-efficient to buy a new mat than to risk wrecking a blade or the whole setup. But I digress, let’s get to the review.Amazon is my go-to for Cricut mats, and when my infusible ink transfers stopped sticking to my lightweight mats, I jumped on and got these new ones the next day. They work great overall, but here’s the thing, these mats might work too well. They’re almost as sticky as the standard grip (green) mats, which made it tough when I had to reposition my ink transfer. I’m a little afraid of what they might do to cardstock, but I’m sure the stickiness will fade with time. It’s not a huge deal, just something to keep in mind.The real win here is the price! You get 3 mats for a pretty reasonable cost, and they’re name-brand Cricut products, not some sketchy knockoffs. So while I’m knocking off one star for the super stickiness, these mats are still a solid buy if you need replacements. Just make sure you’re ready to commit to that sticky life!

These cost a bit more than the off brand mats but they last longer. The "grip" works better on these after frequent use. I have tried another brand but did not get as much use out of it. The extra cost is worth it
