Must buy one

I had used another laser engraver before, and been put-off by the time consumed in focusing the beam, setting the parameters and the engraving. I purchased this after reading some favorable reviews and was pleasantly surprised to get more than I had expected. Focusing was built in. One could frame the engraving on the workpiece. And the speed is more than 10 times faster than engravers that physically move the laser head. 100% portable with built in laser light protection and fume extraction, this has everything one would want in a laser engraver. The supporting XCS software makes the engraving very easy with built in support for hundreds of materials, and the dual laser (diode+IR) makes it useable for every possible material. In the 6 weeks since I bought his, I have used it on wood, brass, aluminum, glass, board and paper, with very satisfactory results at first attempt. This is one purchase where I got more than the ads and reviews made me expect, and I rate it at more than the maximum 5 stars.
