Is there any difference to the Sizzix Sidekick, Tim Holtz Sidekick or the Altenew mini die cut machine?
Are they just all Sizzix sidekick machines ?

The Tim Holtz and Sizzix are the same. From the YouTube video, the altenew looks like the same too. Retail price is the same for all 3. I guess it just depends on what color you want, which included dies you want, and who has it on sale. If I had to choose I would get the TH one because I like the included dies the best.

Spellbinders has a small machine too that works the same way and is the same size.

If you can find an old red Sizzix Sidekick, you can use the new aqua cutting pads in it to cut out thin metal dies. I found one on a Facebook group I am in, like new, at a really good price. I bought the cutting pads on Amazon for about $7.00. It works great and clamps to my glass mat on my desk. I know I won't use it that often, which is why I did not want to pay $50.00 plus for it. But, for around $20.00, it is nice to have.

I bought a red Sizzix Sidekick at Tuesday Morning this past summer. I think it was about $15.
I was a little dismayed when I couldn’t find replacement pads. I’m glad to hear that all of the machines are essentially the same and use the same pads!

I already have a Sizzix Sidekick - but love the dies/stamps(?) that come with the TH Sidekick. Does anyone know if the dies are available separately?

I ordered the Altenew. The cutting surface is a bit larger. Worth it to me.

I got sizzix one. I had issues with my big shot in past and their customer service was fabulous. I trust sizzix more when it comes to manual die cut machine.
