Guys this is a nice little hobby machine and I am sure that they will sell a ton and get the bugs worked out but let me say a few things about laser cutting
1) The filter on this is SO small that it will need to have the activated carbon replaced VERY often. (Google laser cutter carbon filter and look at the size of most of the ones available and you will see what I mean)
2) If you put this thing in your house, do not be surprised when you burn your whole house down. This is a laser and it BURNS through stuff and yes things do occasionally set on fire.
3) If you do put it in your house (See number 2) and you put it in your kitchen your house is going to STINK! I don't care what they say if you cut leather your house will smell like burning flesh. If you cut acrylic your house will smell of plastic that has been set on fire, not to mention that laser cut acrylic off gasses for a while after cutting and it smells terrible. If you cut wood your house will smell like a nice cook fire which some people like and some people hate.
Laser cutters are dirty, stinky, smelly awesome pieces of machinery.
My recommendation, don't be fooled by CSI style marketing videos.
