Pros & Cons
Creality Falcon A1C Basic 10W
What we like
- Meaningfully more cutting power than the 5W model for the same enclosed form factor
- True auto focus — no manual height adjustment needed
- Compact desktop form factor with full safety enclosure
- Mobile app and LightBurn / LaserGRBL compatible
- IR module add-on available for metal marking
Watch out for
- Small 150×150 mm work area limits project size
- Basic version cannot be upgraded with AI Camera later
- IR module requires separate 24V 5A adapter (not included with base machine)
- No built-in camera on the base model
Creality Falcon2 22W
What we like
- Large 400×415mm work area
- Fast 25,000 mm/min rated speed
- Integrated, LightBurn-adjustable air assist
- Solid all-aluminum-alloy open frame
- Offline TF-card operation without a computer
Watch out for
- Open frame — no built-in enclosure (hood sold separately)
- No WiFi or camera
- Manual focus only
- Optional safety hood reportedly makes accessing the TF card slot awkward
