 I have never used a circle cutter, but I am trying to expand my horizons, so I come to the board here and ask the experts...  What would be the best product for me to buy, BUT keep this in mind, I get easily distracted and bored, and me ain't that bright.  So, K.I.S.S. is what I need   Thankz girls!

 You need the Creative Memories circle cutting system!  It is the easiest, most reliable, and awesome one I've found!  (Plus, later on, you can buy oval templates, as well as other shapes for it.)  It is totally worth every penny!

ditto to what Laura said I love mine!

[mommy2bean]

 Love my CM cutting system too

[mkcdaisy]

 I have the little Fiskar circle cutter.  Goes up to 6 or 8 inches.  For as much as I use it, it works great.  Holds 2 blades in it and is pretty compact.

 I am a true fan of Creative Memories, but I will also check out Fiskars, thanks ladies!

 I have the CM one and it does work well, however, lately I've wanted bigger circles so I just trace a plate.

 I'm with scrappin I have a fiskars, a cm one, and yet I still trace the collander and big bowls.

[scrapaholic]

 I like the CM one also.

[Beth-W]

 I have a couple but most often end up tracing large bowls.

 I had the fiskars and then went to CM and the Cm is much better.

 AVOID THE MAKING MEMORIES ONE!

Back in my paper days I had the Fiskars cutter, and I just wasn't good at getting it to work. Either it was the cutter, or I'm a total lame-o...guess who's getting the blame on this one?

 I have both the Fiskars and the CM circle cutters. For Keeping It Simple - I think the CM is the best way to go. Good Luck! By the way, CM will tell  you to use a self healing mat but I find that it cuts better and keeps the blades sharper when I use a glass mat for cutting.

 I tried the CM one (too small for the circles I wanted...but it did work well) and the EK large green one. That one is the one I want. Keep us posted as to what you get and how you like it!

[grifscap]

 I don't like any of them. It just seems to me that they tear more than cut the paper.

 I've never used a circle cutter.  I just use a lid or plate and trace and cut my own.  Hope you find one you like.

[ncokely]

 Still have my CM one from ages ago!

Being left handed I could never get a Coluzzle cutter to work for me!!!

[SBcrazee]

Love my CM circle cutter. If I want a larger circle I trace a dinner plate or bowl on the back & then cut out with my exacto knife.

 CM's is by far the best. I have the EK Success ones (circle and ovals) and they are pretty flimsy. Not the track itself, but the little thing that rolls around the track. I've busted 2 of them in a very short period of time and without any heavy use. (one, the very first time I used it - I can't even replace the blades - it's the part that holds the replaceable blades that breaks).
