Silhouette is angular, aggressive and sharp. The rear-mounted touch-screen on the cameo 4 is a nice touch, but Cricut's close app-integration ensures such a thing is not needed.

Bluetooth Capatability! The Portrait 3 has a Bluetooth pre-installed and is Bluetooth compatible. This means that you can cut jobs on the go wirelessly with Bluetooth and no USB cord. The Silhouette Cameo 4 is the mightiest of Silhouette's cutting machines. It's got a classic 12-inch cutting width and 3mm clearance. As standard the Cameo 4 can cut to 10ft without using a guide mat, with the roll-feeder attached this can go up to 140ft. As with Maker 3 these lengths are only for vinyl cutting. The Silhoette manual will tell you how to start with your machine from getting it straight out of the box.

So which is best, Cricut or Silhouette? Let's find out. Cricut vs Silhouette: overview

The Portrait 3 is an impressive cutter given its size but we found it a little frustrating that it doesn’t have the dual carriage. This means that it can only do one ‘job’ at a time — cutting or drawing, for instance — so would take at least double the time of the Cameo 4 to do the same project. I recently shared a full comparison and review of the Cricut Joy and the Silhouette Portrait 2, which is the Portrait 3’s predecessor, and the Portrait 3 has all of the things I loved about the Portrait 2 with a couple of upgrades that I will explain today! Silhouette Portrait 3 Key Features

As the name implies the Autoblade is automatically adjusted by the Silhouette Studio software for the correct depth and pressure when you select your material. The blade has a length of 0.1mm up to 1mm depending on the material being cut. First, the Portrait 3 comes with a new tool chamber that houses the new AutoBlade. This tool chamber is similar to that of the Tool 1 chamber on the Cameo 4. This chamber allows the software to automatically detect what tool you are using and instantly adjust your cut settings. Can I use my old Silhouette tools with the Portrait 3?Not only do you have to select what cutting mat you are using in the send screen at the top you also need to scroll down and select from your ready machines at the bottom!

The Silhouette Portrait 3 is this brand's small craft machine, and with an eight-inch cutting width isn't a match for either of Cricut's main cutters or the three Cameo 4 models. But, Portrait 3 is an interesting craft machine due to its lower price and ease-of-use – a phone app controls the machine, it uses the same automatic tool detection tech of the Cameo 4 (so it adjusts automatically to materials) and is PixScan compatible for fast projects.
