Awesome Machine!

I have been using this machine daily since I purchased it, and have been pleasantly surprised at how easily the handle moves when die cutting. Every paper and die combination cuts effortelssly, and it embosses like a dream. The correct plate combination will help you get awesome results, and it comes with all you need to get started. It is also very quiet, and surprisingly slim despite being very heavy. I have made a video review and unboxing here:

This is my first die cutter. It works very well and looks cheery in my house! I am happy that I listened to the reviews from people who have had other die cutting experiences.

I actually enjoy the fact that it's as heavy as it is. I can set it somewhere and it stays put and it doesn't rock and roll when I have to cut something kinda rugged. I haven't tried it on anything thick because it seems like it might only want to do thinlets but that's okay I have a gob of those to keep me busy. I DO recommend this cutter... oh and don't even get me started on the boards. THEY are amazing... no more bowing. My craft life has been forever changed.

I wish that I had heard of this machine before trying SIX other brands of die cutting methods! I cut out every single one of the thin dies in "the back" of my die storage that did not cut out nicely using previous machines...and it cut them ALL in one pass! I also love the plates, no warp no flipping them to combat them bowing... finally! I have one machine i absolutely can depend on. TY Tonic!!♡

Best die cutting machine I've ever owned! Waiting for them to become available again was very difficult but so worth the weight. It cuts my dies brilliantly! The Tonic Craft Kits have such delicate details on them and the Tangerine gets it right in the first pass. My projects are now easier to complete and look so much better. Thanks for designing the perfect machine.

I've waited for this die cutting machine for a long time. The wait was worth it, the best die cutting machine I have. I now I have three and I know this will be my "go to" one. It cut with so little effort. This is the best purchase I made.

Love this Tamgerine machine. I have been waiting for months to get it. Finally in stock. I have other machines. By far this is now my "go to" favorite. One pass and the most intricate cuts are done. Have used other brand of dies and they cut perfectly well. Just waiting for the additional plates to come back in stock

This is a wonderful cutting machine there is really nothing I don’t like about it. It is so smooth and cuts beautifully. My only complaint is it went on sale right after I purchased mine.

My new tangerine

When I was new to crafting, I was fascinated by watching Jodie use her Tangerine. But, I already had other machines and couldn’t justify another.
When it finally came back in stock last month, I jumped in. I am sooo glad I did. It hasn’t disappointed a bit! The plates are pretty fabulous and it cuts like a dream. I highly recommend!

Orange you glad you bought this!

This is the perfect cutting machine! I've tried many others, manual and electric, and this one beats them all! Not only does it cut even the most intricate dies perfectly, but the plates seem to be made to last for years! Sick of buying replacement plates? Sick of running your dies through over and over and shimming to get the perfect cut? Then buy this hefty work horse! It may be a bit heavy because it's all steel inside, but it cranks with ease! Wish I had found it sooner before buying so many other machines! ( 5 to be exact )

The best ever! This is my second one. The first is still working great in the craft studio. This one is in my house and is fantastic also.

Tonic Tangerine - Fabulous!

This is number two for me, I wanted to have a spare, LOL! I have had number one for over 5 years and it is still working great. I love that the plates do not warp. I have cracked a plate and needed to get a replacement, but overall, I love it!

The BEST! By Far!

As soon as the Tangerine comes back in stock, do not wait, do not hesitate, buy this machine. I promise you will not be sorry. I have had the Tangerine (TT for short) a few years now, and I absolutely love it. For comparison, I also own a Vagabond2, Gemini Jr, Big Shot, Anna Griffin’s mini Empress and the Sidekick. The Gemini and Big Shot are in storage, and I only use the Vagabond2 for Bigz dies. Die cutting is my jam, and I use TT for hours a day, every day, and the plates are as flat as the day I got them. At first, I was afraid they were beginning to bow, but they flattened out with continued use. The pressure is more than any machine I have tried, and the most intricate dies cut beautifully every single time, mostly with only one pass. I cannot say enough wonderful things about TT, it truly is a work horse. It is definitely an investment, but if you are an avid die cutter, like myself, you won’t regret this purchase.

The Tangerine … I Love It

It is everything and more on what has been said about it. Only regret, I wish I had not waited so long to get it. I love the size of the plates (all that space) and all the dies at one time I can cut out from the smallest to the largest with only one pass. I received it very quickly (4 days from the day I ordered it). The size and weight of the Tangerine is great plus the top is flat so your plates can be placed on top of of it. I use them as another work area as I place my paper and dies and you are not having to bend over. Love it, love it and would highly recommend purchasing The Tangerine. I also wish I had known about it before I had previously purchased 3 other die cutting machines.

Awesome machine!

My former - discontinued - die cutting machine was in the process of biting the dust. Since I do quite a bit of die cutting, I needed a new machine. But I didn't want one that had relatively thin plates that would easily warp, something that seems to plague most die cutting machines. My former one had thick cutting plates & a thick platform, and I had never experienced any warping at all. Someone had suggested the Tangerine in a comment on a card-making YouTube video, as having thicker plates that wouldn't warp. So, I checked it out. It looked like a good-quality machine, and had excellent reviews, so I ordered it. And I have been very happy with my purchase so far! I have not tried running through an embossing folder or embossing with a die yet, so can't speak to the effectiveness of the machine for those purposes at this time. But I see no reason to doubt it would handle those operations just fine. I did keep the instruction manual for reference, mostly with the different sandwiches for die cutting, embossing, etc. My only "complaint," which is a very minor one, is that the only plates available are A4/Letter size. My old machine had a half-size plate/platform combo (about 5-1/2x8-1/2"), which had been an add-on purchase, as I recall, that I could use for smaller die cutting jobs. In fact, I used that more than the larger, approximately letter-size one that I had also purchased. (The larger was useful for large dies or die cutting multiple dies at once.) Using the smaller plate/platform just made the die cutting go faster, since I didn't have to crank through a large plate/platform for one or 2 little dies. It would be wonderful if the Tangerine had a similar option. I would gladly purchase it! But overall, the machine's pressure is excellent, and I like the fact that the "innards" are metal, rather than cheaper plastic. It is heavy, but I take that as a good sign of high quality workings. It cranks easily, too. The rubberized parts on the top, which I understand are to place the plates on as you set things up, are nice, though I honestly rarely use them. But, it's good to know they're there if I need them. The flip-out stabilizer on the bottom is a nice feature, though I'm not sure it makes a ton of difference in the machine's stability. The machine does still "dance" on the table when I'm running the plates through, so I'm considering putting a piece of non-skid shelf liner under it to see if that helps. Not a deal-breaker, though. Overall, it is a sturdy workhorse of a machine, that I highly recommend!

The Best

I have tried almost every die cutting machine out there and the Tangerine is the best for those of us needing a machine with a smaller footprint and plates that aren't so apt to warp. Everything cuts like a dream.

LOVE my Tangerine! I can cut so many smaller pieces at once. The plates stay flat and no confusing "sandwich" to figure out. Thank you!!
