Pros & Cons
Creality Falcon2 Pro S 22W
What we like
- Genuine one-click Z-axis autofocus — real time savings over manual leveling
- Enclosed Class 1 design with camera and air assist standard
- Cuts 15mm basswood or 10mm black acrylic in a single pass
Watch out for
- Smaller 355×390mm work area than the cheaper base Pro 22W (400×415mm)
- Not compatible with the 1.6W fine-detail bonus module
- At least one reviewer notes the autofocus isn't fully hands-off in practice
xTool M2 Color Craft 20W
What we like
- Industry-first: diode laser + CMYK inkjet color printing in one enclosed machine
- Dual cameras and ACS for automatic material detection and placement
- 20W diode handles wood, acrylic, leather, and fabric
- Optional 3W IR module adds metal engraving capability
- Beginner-friendly enclosed design — safe for home or office
Watch out for
- CMYK inkjet module is an optional add-on (extra cost)
- Color print area (300×294mm) smaller than laser work area (426×320mm)
- Diode laser produces inferior cut edges on acrylic vs CO2
- New 2025 product — long-term reliability unproven
