## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Sizzix sidekick - This is a fabulous little machine. I already have the sizzix big shot which I bought about 20years ago and it’s still going strong but I wanted something smaller to keep on my desk to cut out the smaller dies which I use a lot more now as I make mini journals The cutting plates are very strong and don’t bend like other brands. The plates are 6and a half cm wide or 2 and a half inches wide so it is small. But it’s is value for money, it’s light and its portable. To cut intricate dies the machine handled it well I only had to pass the ‘sandwich’ through once and it cut perfectly first time didn’t need a shim. I’m really pleased with it and I can see myself using this a lot. I would recommend if you are new to crafting and want to have a try at die cutting , this little machine would be great, but if you want to cut bigger dies for say A5 cards I would invest in a larger machine, depends what you need to cut either way Sizzix is a reliable brand I have always used their products without a problem you get a 2 year extended warranty if you register your product online but I can see this product lasting many more years Nice to have thought just in case.
Review: Good product terrible packaging - This is my second Sidekick as I have used the first so much I wore it out. The item is very useful for all those tiny bits in craft cutting dies. Well made and came with some useful number does. Only thing that was not good was the state of the packaging which was torn and filthy dirty. Looked like it had come from the back of an old garage. Luckily contents ok

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent
*by P***R on 14 November 2020*

This is my first die cutting machine and I love it. First thing to know: you won't be able to run full size cards through this one. It's pretty small (6.35 cm wide), but it's perfect for cutting shapes, letters, words, leaves, and really most dies that are not full card size. But if you have your heart set on cards with "windows" on the front you will probably need a bigger machine for that. Cuts any die really nicely, super easy to store and carry around. I've used it with Sizzix and X-cut dies, both worked fabulously. I picked this one because I thought the bigger ones would be a problem to store. I'm having trouble keeping it stuck to the table (hence the 4 stars). It sticks nicely for 2-3 cuts but then I have to readjust the suction lever again to keep it in place. I'm not sure why it won't keep stuck until I turn the lever back. My desk has a pretty smooth surface.
