Pros & Cons
LaserPecker LP1 Pro
What we like
- Very low $299 entry price
- Extremely compact and foldable — 600g, fits in a bag or drawer
- Simple app-based workflow, good for total beginners and kids' projects (with supervision)
- 10,000+ hour rated laser lifespan
- Optional auto-focus stand accessory removes manual focusing
Watch out for
- Very slow 20mm/s (1,200mm/min) engraving speed — the slowest machine in the current lineup
- Extremely low 0.5W power — engraving only, cannot cut anything
- No enclosure included — amber safety shield sold separately
- Bluetooth only, no WiFi
- Now superseded in speed and workflow by the newer LP1 Plus at a similar price
xTool D1 5W
What we like
- Large work area for the price
- Compressed spot for finer engraving
- Compatible with xTool Creative Space and LightBurn
- Safety eye protection glasses included
- Good build quality with aluminium extrusions
Watch out for
- No enclosure (safety concern without cover)
- No air assist included
- Relatively slow
