I'm giving it 2 stars (even though I'd rather give it 1), because this machine did at least help me learn. What can I say... I bought it when there were still very few reviews. A 100W CO₂ laser seemed like the perfect way to start producing my own projects and stop relying on my usual supplier. Looking back, I can say without any doubt that it was a big mistake. Let's start from the beginning. The machine arrived with a crooked gantry and mirrors that needed complete alignment. The tube exiting the head was welded crooked and wasn't even close to being perpendicular to the workbed. VEVOR replaced it at their expense, and I do give them credit for that, but the replacement was just as crooked as the original. I was only able to achieve a slightly perpendicular beam after replacing the entire head assembly with different components and adapting them myself. As many other reviews have already mentioned, several cables were not properly secured, and the screws for the panels, mirrors, and linear guides strip almost immediately. The installed laser tube was manufactured in late 2023, and even today, after only one year of ownership, the beam visibly flickers at low power. The nozzle also produces an almost electrical buzzing sound that is not caused by the air assist or by the beam touching the nozzle tip. I had to remove the stock air pump, install a proper compressor, add an external chiller, and replace the blower because the factory setup was simply not adequate for reliable production work. After comparing my results with other CO₂ laser users, I also have serious doubts about the condition of the power supply. Even after just one year, I cannot achieve results comparable to machines using the same tube, power, and cutting speed. Today, despite countless hours spent calibrating the mirrors, X-axis, Y-axis, and laser tube, I can only use about one quarter of the working area, the upper left corner, roughly 38 × 38 cm. Anything I cut outside that area is likely to come out skewed or full of defects. I've spent countless hours, and months of my life, trying to make a machine work properly when it was probably defective from the factory. The only positive thing is that I now have a very solid understanding of CO₂ laser cutting. It's just a shame I learned it by repairing this machine instead of using it to produce. ++EDIT after VEVOR commented on this review: NO, the issues were never actually resolved, and the machine was never made to function properly. After the second set of replacement parts was lost in transit for months, VEVOR simply offered me a refund, which I gladly accepted out of despair. I then had to continue looking for a solution BY MYSELF. The laser clearly had manufacturing defects from the start.
