Sizzix Big Shot vs Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Review & Comparison

Today we're looking at the similarities and differences between the Sizzix Big Shot Plus and also the original Sizzix Big Shot die-cutting machine.

These two Sizzix machines are reliable and great quality, especially if you're on the fence about which to get. Both are fantastic options!

Both the Big Shot and Big Shot Plus are great quality die cutting machines. They're both an investment as well. However, if you have room for it, we'd recommend the Plus. The platform is bigger, you’re not limited to die or embossing folder size since it works with larger dies. But again, it depends on if you have the room for it in your craft room. It's heavy and bulky and moving it around a lot could be quite tiresome, so keep that in mind as well!
