think it is the greatest invention since sliced bread,lol. that being said it will not work for all cuts with say 5/8 or 7/8 but if you have the dies for others you have it made. Have bad shoulder and cannot put much pressure on material so this works great for me. Be sure to use best press or like product before using. Many groups, patterns, and tutorials out there. would have like to of gotten the pro but for now this is good for me.

For new GO user...there are two yahoo groups (that I am aware of). One of them is also a dealer of dies(all brands).......check them out.....Just for added info on the cutters/dies...many tips, ideas and helpful hints are on both sites.

I have the Go and I'm delighted with it. Cut a whole lot of binding strips for my best friend a couple of days ago in minutes. I like the accuracy, the portability, and the speed of this type of cutter. I don't like rotary cutters, never did. I think my friend is going to ask for one for Christmas, so we'll be able to swap dies.
I don't waste anymore fabric than I did before. I could mess up cuts and measurements with a rotary cutter like nobody else!
I don't understand why, when something new comes along that might be a good idea, we have to hear all the negative opinions. I hope those who have positive experiences with any of their new toys continue to share with us. That's how I learn things and am able to move forward with my craft.
