What Customers Are Saying

Customers are sharply divided on this vinyl flooring cutter. Many report it fails to cut through standard luxury vinyl planks thicker than 4-5mm, only scoring the material and requiring manual snapping. Several describe the plastic base or handle cracking after just one to three cuts, calling it cheaply made. A smaller group finds it works well for thin peel-and-stick vinyl tile under 4mm, praising clean cuts. Overall, reviewers are split between strong dissatisfaction with performance and durability versus limited satisfaction for specific thin-material applications.

Works in a pinch

Would Not Recommend

It got the job done, but about 10 tiles in it started throwing ball bearings and it required a lot more force and a jerking motion to cut the second half of the tile

A must have for vinyl tile!

Would Recommend

This cutter was just what I needed! I did a side entry floor with groutable peel and stick tiles. Since it was a small area I needed to make a lot of cuts. This worked so easily and the cuts were as crisp as the edges from the manufacturer. I did have to use scissors on some cuts that weren’t a straight line but 95% was done with this. Absolutely worth the cost.

Decent cutter

Would Recommend

Good cutter for my peel n stick backsplash, although it didn't always seem to cut in a straight line, but it got done what I needed it to do for the most part.

Does the job!

Would Recommend

Works as expected. I was able to cut vinyl planks with ease. It is a smaller cutter, so I wasn't able to always cut the length of a 36" long plank when needed...but I used a utility knife & straight-edge in those instances.

Good for single use install

Would Recommend

Not too stable, light plastic except for handle/blades, but does cut with a bit of convincing on a reasonable self stick tile flooring material. I did about 250 sq ft install and it worked for the job.

Cuts flooring very easily!

Would Recommend

Cuts the flooring with ease! I did see other reviews that it is flimsy and breaks easy, but ours did not break if you are not rough with it I dont think you will have any issues.

Stopped working after 10 cuts

Would Not Recommend

I really was hoping the reviews were wrong for this one. it is only for the most thing pieces of vinyl. if you are looking for a product that can do large jobs with quality material this is no better than an old school paper cutter

Perhaps Read My Review First

Would Recommend

The product is excellent and well worth the price if used for intended purpose. I typically find poor reviews on most products are from people who do not follow instructions. This product is NOT for plank or backwash tile. It is ONLY for vinyl tile that is less than 4 mm thick (VCT should work as well if < 4 mm thick). If you do not understand metric then 1/8" vinyl tile is fine. A good example is peel and stick Cuts beautifully for that purpose. This will significantly speed up your...
