I have wanted a laser engraver for years, and this unit fit my budget after waiting all this time. The Falcon A1 is a miracle! The Falcon A1 requires about 20 minutes to go from the box to engraving a few test samples. This is a well thought out system and everything works out of the box. It even comes with easy to use software that will get you up and running in a few minutes. The 10w diode laser is very capable it will etch and cut wood up to a quarter inch thick , it will cut leather over 1/4" thick, it will engrave slate dog tags,paper and clothing. the software it comes with is a little basic, and I recomend getting Lightburn. which is the default industry standard.

I use the Creality Falcon 2 22w for many things, but my wife was struggling a bit to understand the different parameters. I bought her the Falcon A1, and it has been a great purchase for her. Everything she has engraved so far has turned out fantastic using the parameters built into the machine and the Creality software. Great machine, especially for beginners!

So far for me it was a steep learning curve but not that I am getting the hang of it, I think it is going to be used very often for many projects. This is the first of such machines that I have ever purchased but, I am very pleased with my purchase and would definitely but again.

I have only been using this engraver for a couple of weeks, but if any beginners out there want to dip their toe in, I would say do it—it's a great engraver.

I think its a great beginner machine and very easy to use needs a better camera but it soes its job. All and all it’s worth giving a chance.

The laser is easy to setup as advertised. The support is lacking and the navigation on the website leaves a lot to desire.

This is a nice machine. It works well out of the box, but the bed is slightly curved upwards creating a little bump in the middle. Creality claims it won't affect, but it is impossible to achieve a well focused laser, which is not great in a laser cutting machine. Camera calibration is a complete miss. It's absolutely impossible to get any sort of accuracy even after calibrating multiple times.

Should have come with a honeycomb laser bed for cutting, or at least information as to what size and an easy link to purchase one. Have not used it yet. Waiting for the right size bed to finally arrive.

hard to connect and get working the card to set up camera didn't work well at all. and the camera in general is not aligned properly. other than that works great

I got it in January 2026 and am having a problem with it saying it is not level, so it will not run; if you are interested, go with the xTool M2 as it does more, and plus I have emailed Creality because the laser has a warranty, but I still have not received a response after over one month.
