Perfect Entry-Mid Laser; Great Support
Excellent machine, comes almost fully assembled and is ready to use in minutes. I’ve been cutting 1/8” plywood for a few hours a day for the last month and have had no issues with the laser getting weaker or not cutting as well. Very easy to use with light burn, looks sleek on the workbench, and is able to go significantly faster than other lasers I have used. Everything is assembled well and seems strong and sturdy besides one of the plastic cable hood downs that broke, but it didn’t seem necessary to have in the first place. Update 1/16/26: Laser is still going strong. I’ve cut hundreds of 12x12 sheets of plywood and a bunch of black acrylic. I also use it to make pattern outlines on leather and cut gasket material. I haven’t ran into anything it can’t do that other diode lasers can. Diode lasers aren’t meant for metal, but it does work okay on engraving some with a marking paint. I clean the entire laser and the head regularly. I couldn’t figure out how much should take apart to clean the fans so I contacted support. Within two days I had a full off sent to me on how to clean everything. I then had an issue with one of the screws stripping when going to clean the laser module fans. I contacted support and they responded immediately with the proper screw size and where to find them. Excellent machine, excellent customer support. What I’ve come to expect from sainsmart! The alignment and camera are spot on, I never expected to use the camera but it makes life so much easier when lining up pieces of leather. With lightburn it homes itself when the program opens and maintains its positioning unless you bump it. The belts have stayed tight and I haven’t even had to replace the lens yet. All in all I am very satisfied with the purchase and have already gotten my moneys worth out of it.

Excellent laser with basically no assembly required
I've had 3 other lasers before this one and let me tell you, it's unfair if you get this as your first laser. You should have to assemble a janky cheap one as sort of a rite of passage before you upgrade to something this ridiculously ready. Assembly is basically done for you. Just hook up a couple cords and put the laser on the mount and it's ready to go. It took me a little while to get the driver downloaded but that was on me. It's already included on the tf card that comes in the machine. Once I got that figured out this machine is a sinch to use. Look at this video. This is like 5 minutes into messing with it and I got a super clean cut through the plywood they include. You'll also noticed how fast the 40w can make that clean cut. I'm pumped. It's going to be so fun to use this. The enclosure is fantastic, funnel all your smoke out a window and don't worry about onlookers hurting their eyes. Sure the fan could use a little more oomph but it does what it's meant to. Just give it a few seconds when you're done to clear out the smoke or buy an upgraded one if you want. The air pump works great. It's pretty quiet and it's connected to the machine so you can use the dial on front for more or less airflow and you don't need an extra outlet. Last but not least, check out how cool this think looks! Its guaranteed to make your workshop look higher tech and futuristic! For all the stuff that comes included, this is an excellent value in my opinion. Definitely fast and accurate enough for production for a small business. I've had other genmitsu products like CNCs and they've been excellent so I bet this laser will last a long time without issues too. I'll update the review if I run into any problems. I was just so excited about how cool it is I had to leave a review and let everyone know right away.

Spend the extra money
Not worth the hassle to setup. The packaging was solid but there was a ton of quality issues. The casing was flimsy, you’ll have 2 usb cables to your computer either flimsy connections. There was no assembly instructions and the guides were out of date. The connection to the engraver was flaky and none of the drivers worked. Don’t waste your time or money on this product. Spend the extra $200 for an xTool.

Great Machine - works right out of the box with little setup
I am new to the laser engraving so didn't know what to buy. I did have difficulty setting it up from the instruction booklet. After a few days of not being able to link my laptop with the engraver, I wrote to the company and they responded within a day. I didn't connect the camera cable and did not unlock the safety switch. Once done the machine fired up and connected with my laptop. I had trouble finding the camera COM link because for whatever reason what installed on mine was different than the instructions indicated. But so far it runs great and I've made a few small things. Still learning about speed and power settings. I decided to try the Lightburn software trial and although a little complicated, once understood it is a good program. There are great tutorials which are easy to follow. I gave it a four star rating because I haven't used it very long. I really love that this machine somes with a cover and air assist - no need to wear glasses. Has great safety features and is fairly quiet. And you don't have to set anything up - just plug in the cables and go. Customer support is great if you have trouble. I had written several times with computer support issues, which was mostly my lack of knowledge. They responded each time within a day with easy to understand instruction. Hoping to come back after I use for a while and give a five star rating. You won't be disappointed if you are a first time user. If I really get the hang of this, I may jump up to the 40W.

My second machine. I had the 5w and then upgraded to the 10w. I'm still using this machine and recently got the L8 40w. I am not disappointed so far. I can't wait to see what I can do with this new machine.

Excellent laser machine and worth the price. I did have an issue with it but Customer Service was quick at resolving my problem. This is my second Sainsmart device and would highly recommend this company. It works flawlessly with Lightburn Software. I really like the fact it has an overhead Camera which makes adjusting image to the material easy . It takes out the guesswork. It comes 99% assembled so setting up is a breeze. Thanks for reading this review. ( Canada )

Muy buen equipo, definitivamente recomendable. Supera las expectativas. Gran variedad de opciones para corte y grabado láser en los distintos materiales. Sólo hay que documentarse ya que algunos materiales requieren trucos para que funcionen. El hecho de que viene ya ensamblado y listo para usarse es un plus.
