xTool F1 2-in-1 Dual Laser Engraver with Slide Extension, Rotary Extension and Smoke Purifier, Lightning Speed Portable Fiber Laser Engraver for Metal Wood

I haven’t even powered it on yet, but after my experience with another brand I am already beyond pleased with the almost frighteningly quick unboxing and setup.I’ve tried the F1 before and returned it because it wasn’t quite what I needed. The current generation already has some clear QoL improvements that I immediately appreciate, like the new exhaust hose.It is still not quite up to my vision - for that I need an F1 Ultra (or one of their larger machines), but it is way out of my budget. How can I get on their promo/eval lists?!I tried to save money with that other brand on discount, but it was not worth it at all.

This thing has been great! I've owned it for a few months now and been awesome as a beginner. I've engraved metal, wood, and leather and it does it so easily. So nice to just pick up and go and travel. Easily transportable, I can engrave a small project in under 5 minutes, set up and all!

very good quality product, incredible customer service

I love this little laser machine! Great investment! It is compact and portable, but powerful in its ability to produce amazing results! I have engraved beautiful pet tags, coasters, and various accessories and looking for more items to cut and engrave. Can’t wait to get the slide extender to expand my laser world.

It said it can engrave any metals but the settings does not include gold plated. The system says it is not available so you have to waste all kinds of products just trying to figure out what works. What works on one item might not work on another item either. Return policy stated we have 30 days to return but when you click to return it after already purchasing it, it says if used then they only give you 50% back if even. It will be based off the condition which in some ways I understand but in others how can you advertise it does all this engraving and cutting when there is no setting for it and a waste of so much materials and money. The return policy should state upfront right away if used in any way or open any bags, you won’t get full refund. When I try to cut wood it makes a fire and shuts off. I wasted so much wood. The filter fills up fast. I have tried this machine for less than a month and it wants me to replace filter already. It cost $109 to get new filter stuff. I read that we can wash it to get more life out of it which I did. Even with the air filter my room still smells like burnt wood. It’s not the easiest to line things up if you need it exactly in the middle for small items like jewelry. And if it is your first time like me using an engraver, to engrave on certain items you will need to buy an expensive spray to coat like glass or stainless steel in order for it to turn out. All the items I purchased this for is not working out and getting half my money back sucks so now I am just going to stick with it and see what I can do out of it to try and make money to pay for it. I am starting to realize now that all the YouTube I watched about the machine before I bought it they all got the machine for free from xtool so they obviously would say it’s amazing. So beware and don’t be like me. It’s not made out to be as amazing as you think it is.

I have consistently had positive experiences with X Tool products, owning numerous items without encountering any issues. My purchases have always been satisfactory, and I highly recommend their products. I would appreciate the opportunity to review their new T-shirt printing machine.

Great machine, incredibly easy-to-use interface from the app, a little low sometimes on strength when doing silver and golden metals, but I know it is not a fiber laser, however a very good machine to start with.

It’s packaged so it is easy to assemble what needs to be.The instruction book had good graphics so you knew exactly where each cord went.The tutorial was helpful but I wished it didn’t go so fast.I am really going to like this it’s compact doesn’t take a lot of work space.I just wished it had a manual of step by step instructions for beginners. But there are a lot of videos you can watch to help out.
