I am so excited to share this exciting opportunity. I’ve been using the LONGER Ray5 5W for a few weeks now and I’m really impressed. The setup was easier than I expected- everything you need is in the box, and the instructions are clear. I love that it has a touch screen and works offline, so I don’t always need to be connected to a computer.It’s surprisingly precise. The engravings come out super clean and detailed, even on smaller designs. I’ve tried it on wood, acrylic, and metal so far, and it’s handled each one like a champ. The large work area is great too – I don’t feel limited on space.The machine is quick, and I like that it connects in a bunch of different ways – USB, Wi-Fi, even from a phone app. It also works with the engraving software I already use, like LightBurn.One of the things I appreciate most is the safety features. It has emergency stop options, overheating detection, and even came with safety goggles. As someone who works with this in a home workshop, that gives me a lot of peace of mind.Overall, it’s a solid machine that does exactly what it promises. Great for hobbyists, makers, or even small business use. Highly recommend!

I’ve been using this laser engraver for a few months now and it has handled every project I’ve thrown at it. The speed and precision are impressive, especially for intricate designs on wood and leather. It picks up fine details really well, and I haven’t had issues with alignment or blurry edges. The work area is large enough for most of my custom pieces, including coasters, signs, and keychains. I like that I can connect through WiFi or use a TF card when I want to run jobs offline. Setup was straightforward and the instructions were clear enough for someone who’s new to laser engraving. The safety features like emergency stop and motion detection give me peace of mind while it’s running. Overall, it’s been a reliable tool for creative and small business use.

As a hobbyist maker and small business owner, the LONGER Ray5 5W laser engraver has been a game-changer for my creative projects. The 400x400mm workspace gives me the flexibility to work on everything from custom wooden signs to intricate acrylic ornaments. The 3.5” touchscreen is intuitive and makes offline operation seamless—no need to keep a laptop tethered during jobs. The 0.08mm laser spot delivers impressive precision, and I’ve been amazed at the crispness of the details, even on complex designs. It’s also surprisingly beginner-friendly; I had it up and running within an hour.What truly stands out is the versatility. I’ve engraved on wood, acrylic, leather, and even glass with consistent results. The machine handles both delicate etching and deeper cuts with ease, making it ideal for both decorative and functional pieces. It’s also built solidly, which gives me confidence during longer sessions. Whether I’m crafting personalized gifts or fulfilling customer orders, the Ray5 has become an indispensable part of my workflow. It’s rare to find a tool that balances power, precision, and ease of use so well.

So many problems right out of the box:1. Can't attach the control module because the left mounting screw collides inside the frame with a screw to hold the frame together. Had to come up with a 1/4" spacer for that screw. Absolutely no way this problem would not be apparent for anyone assembling this unit.2. The attach method for the belts is extremely "mickey mouse".3. There are no travel end stops on the X axis, even though the screw holes are there. But it wouldn't matter. The Laser head hits the microswitch on the Left about 1 1/2" before it would reach the limit screw. Nothing to stop it on the Right...no stop and no switch.4. There ARE limit stops on the Y axis, and the front one you have to install during assembly (it's just a screw). But I don't know why. Again, the moving parts hit the microswitch about 1 1/2" before the stops screw, AND...the Laser head hits the front frame at the same time that the microswitch is hit.5. Powering up, the controller sees the Wi-Fi with a strong signal. But it won't connect, returns no error, just goes back to the starting point. ALL of the usual possible reasons for this were tested, and nothing fixed it.SO....about 2 hours of tedious assembly will be followed with similar amount of time to send this junk back.

Buyer Beware, got the 10 watt Longer laser for a Christmas present from my wife. Within a week I started having issues with the damn thing starting and booting up. It progressively got worse and I filed a warranty claim with Longer. Several emails later and a recording of the startup issues I was having and I got a strange email from Longer tech support stating:[email protected], Jan 30, 4:40 AMto meDear sir/madamHello, thank you for your reply. After the goods are shipped, I will contact you actively. I wish you a happy life. Nothing has happened since this email. The laser finally died completely so I took the controller off and opened it up. The start/stop switch is in pieces. I just sent an email back to longer asking for a return and refund. We'll see what happens...An update to my review. Longer sent a replacement controller which I installed. The laser is working great now. If I hadn't had to jump through hoops to prove there was a problem, I would give them a higher rating. The laser works well now, but dealing with the customer support was a pain.

I was very impressed with the precision! This is as good as the commercial grade machines my friend has (he runs an engraving shop). I love that it provided the 3 little pieces for testing too, also the green safety glasses are very thoughtfully provided. I’m still learning how to operate it and I will have more photos of engraved products to share after Father’s Day rush!
