I researched lasers for 6 or more months, and I learned during that time xTool was the brand for me. I really liked the S1 but size was an issue, so when the M1 Ultra came out it was the perfect answer to my prayers. It is so user friendly and I had great results on my first attempts. I have only cut wood so far, but have many ideas waiting to be tried.

It’s a lot of fun. It hasn’t been without issues (the fan stopped spinning today, for instance). But I have made a ton of things with it and it’s very good at cutting wood.

Purchased the 20 W deluxe bundle and is my first ever crafting tool. I am really satisfied with the purchase as the bundle included safety accessories, especially when working with lasering/engraving; for ease of mind. It is user friendly but slightly intimidating especially when there is endless possibilities on what to craft.

The M1 Ultra can be a bit daunting after unboxing and setting it up. And granted, there is a lot to learn given the number of heads, accessories and materials...but as you start to get handle on the machine and its software, you begin to understand how much you can create. The possibilities are almost limitless.

This is my first ever laser, cutting machine. The part that took the longest was unboxing and finding a nice place to set it down.

I recommend starting out using the application on your computer. It was a lot more user-friendly than the app on the phone but now I understand what I’m doing. I feel like it’ll be a lot quicker.

Super happy with the design and what I will be able to do in the future. If you want an introductory laser cutter that does more than just lasering I would definitely get the M1 Ultra!!
