Qiilu 1500mW Laser Graviermaschine Mini DIY USB Printer CNC Router Engraver Cutting Carver Off Line Powered Craft Science Safety Glasses for Win 7, XP, Win 8, 10, iOS 9.0 Android 4.0

Great little laser engraver. Had it up and running in a few minutes. English instructions not the easiest to fathom, but with a little common sense soon was lasering away. Very impressed with the detail of engraving produced. Don't expect quick burn times for full size images, but text can be done in seconds depending to size. I mainly use mine with the Android App - this has slightly less function than the PC software, but is still fine for pictures, logos and basic text. Burn time is adjustable for different materials - craft card and MDF only need shorter burn times whereas light plywood needs longer. I have used card, MDF, plywood, tree slices, leather and plastic successfully.

 What an amazing engraver machine, I have to say I am very impressed with the amount of detail this machine can achieve, its able to connect with my laptop and my phone and the android application is very easy to use although it's not very well explained it is easy to figure out what does what, I was able to get this up and running in no time at all.

A good example of well thought through Chinese manufacture. The laser engraver is very simple in construction and operation. There is a button on the back for power, and a button on top to preview the area etc. When it arrives - be cautious, some bits on the CD are reported as having a virus, but there is a simple folder containing the files you need which can be copied to your computer and which appears to be virus free (do test!).Having installed the software, simply drop in a graphic, send to machine and then press start. You can place a range of materials on the table and tweak the burning time to suit - but that is all you need to do - really easy. There are also apps for iOS etc. and these are just as simple to use, connecting automatically via bluetooth.For the money - superb piece of kit.

Product?A simple to use laser engraver, that takes up little space and extremely portable. Both battery-powered and controllable through phone or the computer. Decent, clear results if the laser is adjusted for the height of the project, (sounds more complicated than it is, just turn a dial till the dot is clear and small). The software took no effort to install and less to use, simply type or move/drag the image to the window and click send to the machine and start.Pros?• Easy to use, simple software that works on both computer, laptops or phones• Come prepared and ready to use• Comes with some test pieces to practice on• Clear image• Converts images to version ready for engraving, with two different options that are presented automatically for you, all you need to do I click one• Has two button on the software that helps locate both where the center on the engraving will be and the border, no guesswork needed• Two elastic bands on the base plate are great for keeping work still, I also have two pieces of wood to sandwich the target in-between, as I engrave on unstable pieces.• Can engrave many materials, including glass if you cover the engraving area with a marker pen so the glass absorbs the energyCons?• Has settings for repeating work automatically, maybe this makes a stronger and clearer image, but I couldn’t get it to match, leaving an echo and ruining the look, I prefer the small text• The limited size of text and opening, due to the size of the work area, small text or images are the limits, you could write in sentences but lining things up correctly could be an issue and not something I would like to tackle regularly• Wish the laser was a little stronger but as with the area of work for a product so cheap I am still happy with it• Need to aim the laser for each cut, that said if you make a mistake it doesn’t affect the finish, just a waste of time and energyEase of use?• I was worried about how to use the software, while I am decent with a computer I thought it would need to perceive design skills to make this work, I couldn’t be more wrong its simple and something that needs to be seen to believe.• If you can use Amazon than you can use this.Storage?• Very little space• Very Portable• Battery powered• USB charger can charge in the car, from laptop• If you had a craft fair you could easily personalize your products on the day for people while they either waited on came back after a short time, you could even let them watchPrice?• So cheap for the results• This kind of products cost-effectiveness depends on how much use you will get from it, use it a lots than cheap, if not that its not as good, that obviously this said if you need a task completed and this can handle it, its cheaper than getting someone else to do it, and much more fun, you might be finding new ways of using itReliability?• So far so good, make a few engravings they all seem good as long as you aim the laser each time you use itGoes well with?Goes well with many things, check my wishlist on small project from the homeFinal Result?If you accept the limitation created by its small size and portability and let's face it, the cheap price. Then this is an amazing, easy to use project that anyone would enjoy using if they use it often or sparinglyMy camera is not the best, the picture is of my first test piece, and looks great in person

Easy to use and setup. Don't expect it to cut anything but thin paper. However, it will burn the surface of many materials as long as thy fit under the laser. Nothing bigger than 40mm square.

Great machine, fit for purpose although the laser has for some reason stopped engraving and i am unable to find help as to why. Besides that would recommend.Only other negative is the user interface on the iPhone application doesn’t work properly although when it does its easy to use.

Well packaged and seems well built. Took a bit longer than I thought in setting it up. So far it’s ideal for what I needed it for. Takes a long time to do any images with a lot of detail. A few simple words will only take less than five minutes. Glad I got it on sale. Don’t think it’s worth much more than £110!

Really fast, working area bit small at 4x4 but great little unit, great pairing on Bluetooth and USB connectivity. Price was steep had seen these half the price but lead delivery time was 2-3 days unit required as a replacement so needed the fast delivery and seller didn't let us down! ☺ seller recommended.
