I spent a month testing the Creality Falcon A1 and I'd say it's the perfect laser engraver for beginners on a budget

Creality Falcon A1 review.

Laser engravers are cool as heck. I'd never used one before getting my hands on this 10W model from Creality, but I'm definitely a convert after using it for a month. Usually, I've been a bit intimidated by some of the best laser cutters and engravers, especially those that you see from the likes of xTool and Glowforge, but the Creality Falcon A1 is a superb (and plenty affordable) choice for newcomers to the craft.

While Creality isn't a particularly big name in the laser engraving industry, it does have a very impressive rep for manufacturing exceptional 3D printers and some of the best 3D scanners, too. The core XY construction of the Creality Falcon A1 felt very familiar to me as a proficient tester of some of the best 3D printers, and while its size is a little much for a home studio, it packs in everything you could need for a safe and simplified experience.
