I’ve owned the original Cameo, then the Cameo 4 back in 2022 — that one was a total workhorse. When my sticker business started to grow, I figured, “Hey, the new Cameo 5 is here in 2024, and it’s supposed to be quieter and faster.” Biggest mistake ever.In less than a year, it started grinding and cutting accuracy went out the window. To get sticker paper to cut properly, you have to use a brand-new blade on the highest setting. Meanwhile, the Cameo 4 handled the same paper perfectly on much lower settings, only needing higher pressure as the blade wore out — the way it should be.Bluetooth? Works half the time. I got so fed up I switched to USB just to get anything done. Then life happened — a family illness forced me to put my shop on hold. Now that I’m trying to get back to it, the machine won’t even function. It just grinds and stops. It’s spotless, no obstructions, and I’ve tried every troubleshooting step out there. Not to mention, it really wasn't much faster because when I tried to take advantage of the higher speeds, the stickers would come out awful.This machine is a DOG — plain and simple. I’m not the only one saying it either; just look around online. If you have a Cameo 4, stick with it. If you don’t, get anything else.Oh, and their customer support? Practically nonexistent. Silhouette has gotten too big to care about the people who actually use their products.
