Sleek and professional
I picked this machine out several months ago, and I finally decided to buy it and set it all up. Compared to my old $300 cheaper laser, this is a huge upgrade. I cant wait to start engraving. I just finished setting it up today, and I'm very impressed with the machine, and also the software is so extremely helpful and easy. Rotary attachment will be fun, as well as the Infrared 2 watt jewelry laser. I cant wait to make coins! Well worth the money. very professional. Update: I've had for a few weeks now, and compared to my old engraver, a project that would have taken 2 hours took only 30 minutes, and just the way it is able to seemlessly measure the martial is remarkable. I used to have to do practice runs on both cardboard and possibly waste some material lining things up! Very professional machine. Don't hesitate.

Working great...Issues with the original kit have been resolved
The machine works fine like the others, but the riser base is the European version that won't work with the conveyor.UPDATE:Before I had a chance to order the conveyor compatible riser base, Wendy from xTool support contacted me about the riser base included with the ‘deluxe’ machine. She generously offered to exchange the Class I base for the Class IV base for no additional charge. That process is underway and I should be able to use the conveyor system very soon.I truly appreciate the fact that they took the time to understand and acknowledge the issue, and went even further with the substantial offer to make the exchange at their expense. I realize that sales related support is not the most productive part of business and I respect any company that understands the importance. Wendy was responsive, empathic, and patient with our email exchanges and provided an extra benefit to the entire purchasing experience.

Winner
I love X-tool and they have a winner with this machine! I have been using it for about four months now, wanted to wait to write my review and I can honestly say I love everything about this machine! I do want to get the IR head that comes with it so I have more options but that purchase will be later. It is much easier to set up than the D1 pro I had before and so much easier to use! I would give more than five stars if I could.

Be aware: Included Class 1 riser base limits functionality
Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase. I haven't yet used the rotary attachment, but the 20w unit has proven precise and easy to use. While I am familiar with Lightburn, XCS is easy to use, though I'm still learning how to adjust settings when the results aren't quite what I wanted.But then there's the included Class 1 riser base.When I was first putting the unit together, I had watched multiple setup videos. All heaped praise and said the riser base was essential to getting the most out of the unit. What I didn't realize is that all of the reviewers were using the Class 4 riser base that supports the conveyor function, has a drop down front panel, and multiple slots that allow the user to adjust the height of the riser base.The Class 1 riser included with the "deluxe" package is not that one. It is a single unit that requires you to fully remove the base plate from the main unit and then screw it onto the riser base. This takes about 20 minutes and requires you to move the main unit more than once, risking damage. And, once attached, the riser base/base plate cannot be adjusted in any way. It's just a big rectangular stilt.The problem with that is that the laser unit cannot lower itself enough for any standard, flat project. There's one small line in the instructions that indicates that you may have to raise anything flat for the laser to reach it. No accessory or instructions are included. Just one brief acknowledgement that the riser base makes it difficult to use the laser for standard projects.This is a fundamental design flaw.The Class 1 Riser base renders the Xtool S1 virtually useless for standard projects (i.e. engraving coasters, cutting thin wood, anything flat) without some kind of jerry rigged riser. You cannot use the honeycomb easily, most things you would use to raise things up enough could be burned by the laser, and insuring whatever you're using to raise things sufficiently is actually level is a challenge.So the Class 1 riser base is ONLY useful for larger items, the RA2 rotary assembly, and little else.While the other parts of this bundle are solid, including the laser, air assist, exhaust fans, honeycomb, etc., the Class 1 riser base is nearly a deal-breaker.So if you do want the great precision, ease-of-use, and reliable results of the Xtool S1, be certain to only get one with a riser base that supports the conveyor function (a.k.a. the Class 4 base). Otherwise, you will be very frustrated with the 20 minutes, heavy lifting, and potential droppage issues involved with attaching or detaching the larger riser base as is necessary to change project types from flat to anything larger and vice-versa.I recommend the Xtool S1, but do not, under any circumstances, reccomend the Class 1 riser base included with this bundle.

This laser machine…just WOW!
Just got it set up and about ready to start using. I have high hopes for this laser engraver. It was packaged so well! Arrived as expected with no issues. Heavy, substantial, beautiful machine. This kit has many additional components. Rotary kit, riser, honeycomb, air assist. I’ve priced around and this one available through Amazon seems like the best value. I’ll be updating my review as I begin to use this laser machine.

Great Machine
Bought this as a birthday present for my wife. She's always done "crafty" type things using a Cricut, etching, sublimation, etc. She has gone to a new level with the laser, she absolutely loves what she can do with it. VERY happy with this purchase.

Best bang for the buck.
Started with the F1 and now using the S1. Love the large bed and quality cutting. So glad I made the purchase.

Laser Losing Power
The laser seems to be losing power within 4 months, I've been using the same exact material and settings, now need to increase power and slow down speed, ( and yes laser is clean) have tried to have laser replaced but it seems to be out of warranty. Otherwise, the machine works perfect and the software is very easy to use, xtool did a great job with the design just concerned with the future laser power.
