Usability 6.7 /10

From published features and owner comments · not a lab test.

Laser power and work area7.0/10
Spec table says Optical Power 20W (semiconductor, 455 nm), with a 268 x 358 mm bed and 600 mm/s speed; DC 24V 7.5A is the electrical rating.
Safety features10.0/10
All five listed: enclosed Class 1 (FDA), AI flame detection, emergency stop button, built-in air assist and smoke exhaust filter, and a named Class 1 (FDA) with CE/FCC/PSE.
Software and control7.0/10
Free Falcon Design Space plus listed LightBurn and LaserGRBL support, camera positioning, and desktop plus phone apps. Offline use is not clearly stated; setup uses an account and network.
Price and total cost5.0/10
Price shown and shipping free over $49.99; the 2W IR module, honeycomb panel, purifier and rotary are separate, and reviewers say a fume path is needed.
Warranty and support3.0/10
1-year warranty, but returns are 14 days for unused machines only with the buyer paying freight; phone help follows Beijing office hours. Owner threads describe slow ticket replies.
