Black Friday 2026 is November 27, but laser sales start weeks earlier. Last year xTool and Creality Falcon both opened theirs on November 3.

Some machines already beat last year’s sale price. The xTool P2S cost $3,249 at checkout on xTool’s store last Black Friday and $2,919 on October 20, 2026. The S1 40W went the other way and is still $70 above its 2025 price.

I’ve owned an xTool F1 and F2, had hands-on time with the F2 Ultra and M2, and am testing two review units now: the xTool X1 with the 60W MOPA source and the Carverall X1 Pro. I’ve also engraved a metal tag on an AtomStack P1.

Quick verdict: Treat last Black Friday’s checkout price as your target. The xTool P2S, F2, F2 Ultra, AtomStack P1 Dual and WeCreat Vista already beat it, so buying now is fine, though a repeat of 2025’s tiers could take another $70 to $200 off the P2S and F2 Ultra. Wait until November on the S1 40W and the AlgoLaser and Creality Falcon machines, including top pick Falcon A1 Pro.

When Laser Engraver Black Friday Sales Start (2025 Dates by Brand)

xTool and Creality Falcon each started their 2025 sales on November 3, more than three weeks before the day itself. Neither has posted 2026 dates yet, so last year’s calendar is the best guide you have.

xTool’s 2025 Black Friday Sale: Tiered Savings, Weekly Drops and Gift Sets

xTool’s 2025 sale ran from November 3 through Cyber Monday. Machine orders got an automatic tiered discount: $150 off once an order passed $1,499, then $400 past $3,999, $700 past $6,999 and $1,500 past $8,899. The headline “up to $2,858 off (up to 47%)” applied to selected bundles.

Three smaller perks mattered too. Limited machine drops landed every Thursday at 7 PM PST. On November 28 and December 1, the first 1,200 orders got a gift set valued at $79. Supplies took $30 to $160 off from a $129 order, with weekend flash sales up to 40% off.

The end date is the fuzzy part. xTool’s own recap says the sale ran “until Cyber Monday,” while two deal roundups from that week list December 5 and December 15. Plan around Cyber Monday and treat anything later as a bonus.

Creality Falcon’s 2025 Black Friday Sale: Price Guarantee and BFVIP8

Creality Falcon’s 2025 event ran November 3 to December 1. Subscribers got code BFVIP8 for 8% off, and Creality promised that prices were “guaranteed until the end of 2025,” so an early order didn’t lose out to a later cut. Flash sales rotated by category: air purifiers (November 3 to 11), protective covers (November 12 to 20), then risers (November 21 to 29).

As of October 20, Creality Falcon is running a Halloween sale with a WELCOME5 code for new subscribers, and its store doesn’t mention a price guarantee. Don’t assume last year’s year-end guarantee will return until Creality says so.

AlgoLaser and OMTech 2025 Black Friday Sales

AlgoLaser published fixed Black Friday prices plus an extra 12% code, BKS12, valid through December 2. Codes couldn’t be combined with its minimum-spend offers. OMTech ran four rolling weeks with “up to 60% OFF,” a free chiller on CO2 machines and LightBurn bundled with fiber machines, but it never listed per-model prices.

If you’re also shopping for a printer, the 3D printer Black Friday deals guide tracks the same November window for Bambu Lab and Creality printers.

xTool X1 Launch Window vs Black Friday

The xTool X1 opened for deposits on October 12, and retail sales start October 28 at 18:00 PDT. xTool lists the Single CO2 version at $3,399 for the first month (MSRP $3,699) and the CO2 + Diode Galvo version at $3,999 (MSRP $4,299). That first month overlaps Black Friday. Nobody knows yet whether xTool will cut the X1 further in late November, so judge it by the first-month price.

Laser Engraver Black Friday Price Table: Last Year vs Today vs Target

The rule is simple: your target is the lower of last year’s Black Friday checkout price and today’s checkout price on the brand’s own store. Below target, buy. Above it, wait. For machines with no 2025 model price, the target is our estimate: today’s price less last year’s brand-wide code.

AtomStack’s and WeCreat’s 2025 figures are the product-page prices archived during Black Friday week; any checkout code on top of them isn’t recorded. The F2 listed at exactly $1,499 last November, so the archive doesn’t show whether it got the first tier. Either way, today’s $1,299 is lower.

Crossed-out prices are a poor guide. xTool’s P2S page shows a compare-at price of $4,499 today, yet it listed for roughly 25% less than that during last year’s sale. Compare what you’d pay at checkout. The crossed-out number tells you very little.

How xTool’s Black Friday Tiered Discount Works (With the Math)

xTool’s discount is a spend ladder, and the bottom rung decides whether you get anything. Last year’s first rung was higher. In October 2026 xTool is running a smaller Halloween ladder: $80 off over $1,299, $200 off over $3,999, $300 off over $6,999 and $500 off over $8,899.

Here’s what the two ladders did to the same carts on xTool’s store (list price, then checkout price):

Today’s smaller discount already lands under last year’s checkout price on the P2S and F2 Ultra, because xTool cut their list prices, while the S1’s list price hasn’t moved. And if xTool brings back last year’s tiers on today’s list prices, all three get cheaper again, as the last column shows. xTool hasn’t announced its 2026 tiers.

Don’t pad a cart to reach a tier. A tier discount unlocked with an accessory you won’t use usually costs more than it saves.

The 60-day price guarantee lowers the risk of buying early on xTool’s store. If the listed price of the same model and bundle drops within 60 days, xTool refunds the difference or issues a gift card with a small bonus. It excludes refurbished, open-box and clearance units, plus “bulk discount, bundle-only, coupon-only, membership-only, flash-sale, limited-quantity, or similar special promotional offers unless expressly approved by xTool.” The spend-based checkout tiers may fall under that, so don’t count on the guarantee to refund a bigger Black Friday tier.

Top 3 Laser Engraver Black Friday Picks for 2026

xTool P2S. Clear acrylic needs CO2, and the P2S costs less today than it did last Black Friday. If acrylic signs or keychains are the plan, this is the deal on the list.

AtomStack P1 Dual. A fully enclosed Class 1 machine with both a diode and an infrared laser, and it’s cheaper on AtomStack’s store than a year ago. It’s small, but it marks metal tags without goggles.

Creality Falcon A1 Pro ($879). The A1 Pro is a big enclosed 20W diode machine for under $1,000. Creality knocked 8% off for subscribers last year, which would bring it near $810 by our estimate.

Best Laser Engraver Black Friday Deals Under $600

1. xTool M2 (10W)

The M2 is a 10W diode machine with magnetic swap-in heads. You can drop in a 20W diode, a 3W infrared module or an ink head that prints full color before cutting the shape out. It has a wide camera plus a close-up camera, and the close-up one lines up text on something as narrow as a hexagonal pencil.

In one hands-on review, the 10W head engraved basswood with almost no scorch marks, though cut edges still showed light scorching. Mine has cut wooden shapes and run a full power test grid.

Who it’s for: First-time buyers who want to engrave and cut crafts. Pick it over the WeCreat Vista for color printing and room to add a 20W head. Go with the CR-Laser Falcon for a much bigger open bed at a lower price.

Best for: a first craft laser

xTool M2 10W

10W diode · dual cameras · Class 1 enclosure

NNik's take: Mine has cut wooden shapes and run a full power test grid. At $499 it already sits below every xTool checkout tier, so there's no discount ladder to wait for.

2. WeCreat Vista 10W

The Vista is WeCreat’s compact enclosed laser: a 10W diode you can swap for an optional 2W infrared module, a top-view camera for placement, and an FDA Class 1 enclosure, so no goggles are needed. WeCreat says its FlipLaser design makes it the smallest enclosed laser that can engrave a 40 oz Stanley tumbler. Those claims are WeCreat’s, and we haven’t seen an independent test yet.

The price is the strong part. The Basic Pack was $590 on WeCreat’s US store on October 20, about $110 under the $699.99 it listed for during last Black Friday week, when the page also promised to refund the difference if the price dropped. The Rotary Pack you need for tumblers is $690, down from $749.99. WeCreat’s current page doesn’t mention last year’s price guarantee.

Who it’s for: Crafters who want a small enclosed laser, with tumblers as an option through the Rotary Pack. Pick it over the M2 if drinkware is the main project. Choose the Pixi if you want to spend far less.

Best for: a small enclosed starter

WeCreat Vista 10W

10W diode · top-view camera · Class 1 enclosure

MWhy it's here: WeCreat says it's the smallest enclosed laser that can engrave a 40 oz tumbler. We haven't seen an independent test yet, and tumblers need the $690 Rotary Pack.

3. Creality CR-Laser Falcon (10W)

The CR-Laser Falcon 10W is one of Creality’s best-selling open-frame lasers on Amazon, and at $205 it’s the cheapest way onto a big bed in this guide. The engraving area is 400 by 415 mm, with optional risers for taller objects. Creality lists a 0.06 by 0.08 mm spot and one-pass cuts through 5 mm black acrylic or 6 mm basswood.

Open frame means you supply the safety: certified goggles and ventilation, plus someone watching the job. Creality sells protection kits separately, and on October 20 the listing carried a shipping ETA of October 26.

Who it’s for: Budget buyers who want a large engraving area and don’t mind setting up a workspace. Pick it over the Vista if bed size matters more than an enclosure. Step up to the A1 Pro for an enclosed machine with infrared.

Best for: the biggest bed for the money

Creality CR-Laser Falcon 10W

10W diode · 400 × 415 mm bed · open frame

MWhy it's here: The bed is the draw: 400 by 415 mm at a budget price. It's an open frame, so certified goggles and ventilation are your job.

Where to buy: Amazon or Creality Falcon's own store. Budget for certified goggles either way.

4. AlgoLaser Pixi 10W

The Pixi is a fully enclosed Class 1 10W laser with its own touchscreen, so it runs without a computer. Built-in drawing and text tools let you sketch a design on a tablet and engrave it, and a password lock plus a lid stop make it a reasonable family machine. In one review, the reviewer’s kids learned it without trouble.

Results on wood and leather are good for the price. The trade-off is that the laser module can’t be replaced, so moving to a stronger laser later means buying another machine. It’s also slow, and the enclosure caps the size of what fits inside.

Who it’s for: Families who want a locked-down machine kids can use. It’s a better fit than the Vista if a built-in touchscreen matters more than swappable modules. If you’ll want a stronger laser later, the M2 is the safer choice.

5. Carverall X1 Pro (JL9, 20W)

The X1 Pro, also sold as the JL9, is a 20W open-frame diode machine on a 300 by 300 mm bed. It ships with an air pump and risers, connects over USB or WiFi, and works with LightBurn. Carverall sent me one for review. It went together in a little over ten minutes, and the only hiccup was a child lock bumped during assembly, which kept the power light off. It’s new this year, so there’s nothing from last November to compare against, but after running it I think $358.79 for this much laser is one of the best values on this list.

Treat the cutting claims with care. Carverall’s own pages disagree on how thick it cuts, from 8 mm to 35 mm of acrylic depending on the listing, and the deepest independent result we found was 10 mm of hardwood in two passes. The air pump is set with a physical button instead of LightBurn, and the machine needs a USB stick or TF card inserted to run.

Who it’s for: Hobbyists who want 20W of diode power and a 300 mm bed on an open frame. Pick it over the CR-Laser Falcon for twice the laser power on a smaller bed. The P1 Dual is the better choice if you want an enclosure.

Best for: 20W on an open frame under $400

Carverall X1 Pro (JL9)

20W diode · 300 × 300 mm · air pump included

NNik's take: Carverall sent me one for review, and it went together in a little over ten minutes. For $358.79 it's one of the best values here, but treat the cutting-depth claims with care.

6. AtomStack P1 Dual (5W Diode + 1.2W IR)

The P1 Dual packs a 5W blue diode and a 1.2W infrared laser into a fully enclosed Class 1 box that weighs about 3 kg. The diode cuts 1/8-inch basswood in one pass, and the infrared side marks stainless steel and aluminum. Mine has engraved a deer-head design on a black aluminum case. The catch is size: the work area is only about 110 by 110 mm, and its gantry motion is far slower than xTool’s galvo machines.

Who it’s for: Beginners who want metal marking in a closed box for small items like tags (tumblers need the roller bundle). Unlike the Vista, where infrared is an add-on module, it ships with the infrared laser in the box. Pick the F2 instead for galvo speed and more power.

Best for: metal marking in a closed box

AtomStack P1 Dual

5W diode + 1.2W IR · Class 1 · about 3 kg

NNik's take: Mine has engraved a deer-head design on a black aluminum case. The work area is only about 110 by 110 mm, so it suits tags and other small items.

7. xTool F2

The F2 is the F1’s successor: a 15W diode plus a 5W infrared laser, 1.5 times the F1’s engraving speed, and a 50MP camera that one reviewer called remarkably accurate for placement. Mine has engraved metal key tags and a settings test card, and at about 4.6 kg it’s easy to carry. A side-by-side test against xTool’s UV machine shows the limits. On wood the F2 burns darker and faster but blotchier, with the grain showing through.

On stainless steel the two machines matched. Cutting wood took full power and left charred edges, and one section didn’t cut through. The F2 also couldn’t mark green PLA at all.

On a tighter budget, xTool’s official refurbished F1 cost $819 on October 20, $280 under a new F1’s list price last November. It’s the machine I use for gift key tags (10W diode, 2W infrared, 115 by 115 mm area), but refurbished units fall outside xTool’s price guarantee. The F2 vs F2 Ultra comparison covers when to step up.

Who it’s for: Makers who sell at markets or work in a small space and engrave metal often. Pick it over the refurbished F1 for the faster lasers and camera. Pick the S1 instead if cutting is half your work.

Best for: portable metal and wood engraving

xTool F2

8. xTool S1 (40W)

The S1 is xTool’s enclosed gantry diode laser, and it’s the most proven cutting machine here. xTool rates the 40W version to cut 18 mm cherry and 15 mm dark acrylic in one pass across a 498 by 319 mm bed. One maker who sells laser goods says about 90% of his catalog comes off his S1.

An owner’s two-week review lists the annoyances. There’s no built-in camera, though the alignment system is accurate. The head can’t reach the far left edge, the plastic lid scratches easily, and setup across a room means a lot of walking back and forth.

Who it’s for: Hobby sellers who cut wood and dark acrylic in volume. Choose it over the Falcon A1 Pro for the larger proven user base and xTool’s price guarantee. Pick the P2S instead if you need clear acrylic.

9. Creality Falcon A1 Pro

Creality sells the A1 Pro as a 20W dual-laser machine, pairing a blue diode with a 2W infrared module in an enclosed frame. Autofocus is accurate to 0.012 inches, modules swap in under a minute, and there are presets for more than 350 materials. The 20W diode cuts 10 mm plywood.

Safety is covered with dual flame detection, an emergency stop and a key lock. One long-term tester called it the least bad laser he’d used outside xTool’s lineup. Creality’s own software is rough, so plan on LightBurn.

Who it’s for: Buyers who want lots of enclosed bed space on a mid-range budget. It’s the step up from the CR-Laser Falcon if you cut plywood regularly. Pick the S1 instead for 40W cutting power.

Best for: a big enclosed diode under $1,000

10. xTool P2S (55W CO2)

The P2S is xTool’s 55W desktop CO2 laser, and it exists for one job diode and fiber lasers can’t do: cutting clear acrylic. Blue diode light mostly passes straight through transparent acrylic, while CO2 is the standard tool for it. CO2 also handles thick wood and other natural materials well.

At $2,999 list, the standalone undercuts last November’s list price, and xTool sells add-ons such as an automatic conveyor feeder ($129) and a honeycomb panel ($139) separately. Budget for venting outdoors or a smoke purifier too. On October 20, xTool’s P2S page said orders ship in 7 business days.

Who it’s for: Sellers making acrylic signs and keychains. It earns its place over the S1 once clear acrylic is on your list.

Best for: cutting clear acrylic

11. xTool F2 Ultra (60W MOPA)

The F2 Ultra is xTool’s metal workhorse: a 60W MOPA fiber laser, optionally paired with a 40W diode, moving at up to 15,000 mm/s over a 220 by 220 mm area. MOPA lets you tune the pulse, and xTool claims more than 100 stable colors on metal. In a brass coin test it carved relief deeper than 3 mm, where the older 20W F1 Ultra reached about 1.5 mm.

Mine has turned out a lion and a lighthouse piece. At 47 lb it stays on a bench. One pricing detail is easy to miss: the F2 Ultra UV costs the same as the MOPA-only version and does a different job, marking glass and PLA, and even engraving inside crystal.

Who it’s for: Small businesses doing deep metal relief, color marking or production engraving. Pick the MOPA version for metal. Pick the F2 Ultra UV instead for glass and plastics, or the F2 if you only mark metal occasionally.

Best for: deep metal relief and color

12. xTool X1

The X1 is xTool’s attempt at one machine that does everything. It’s a gantry laser with a galvo head built in, so it combines gantry accuracy with galvo speed: up to 6,000 mm/s in flying-galvo mode. The base is a 55W CO2 laser, and four more sources slot into the same optical path: a 20W diode, 5W UV, 30W fiber and 60W MOPA. The frame is cast in three large pieces that replace nearly 100 assembled parts.

The review unit on my bench is the 60W MOPA bundle. Each extra source costs $899 to $3,199, so the first-month price is an entry ticket. The xTool X1 explainer covers Hybrid Motion and Laser Swap in depth.

Who it’s for: Etsy and Shopify sellers who want CO2 cutting plus galvo batch engraving, with fiber or UV added later.

Also Worth Watching This Black Friday: Alien Cell X1 and WeCreat Lumos

Two machines didn’t make the numbered list because they have no Black Friday history to judge against. The Alien Cell X1 is a diode laser with a 24 by 18 inch bed, modules from 20W to 60W, 20 kHz modulation and 10 flame sensors, at roughly $2K. LightBurn support was still incomplete in the review cited below.

The WeCreat Lumos is a galvo machine pairing 10W diode and 3W infrared sources. Its stock settings needed heavy correction: 1/8-inch MDF needed 80% power, 20 mm/s and three passes. It lists at $1,690 on WeCreat’s US store.

Amazon Best-Selling Budget Lasers Without a Black Friday Track Record

Five budget lasers that rank among Amazon’s best-selling engravers didn’t get numbered spots. We couldn’t find archived Black Friday prices for them on the brands’ own stores, so we can’t say whether today’s brand-store price is a deal. Check again once Black Friday pricing goes live, and expect certified goggles and ventilation to be your job on the open-frame ones.

Carverall also sent Makers101 the X1 Pro (JL9) covered above for review; that has no bearing on either machine’s place here.

Which Laser Type to Buy This Black Friday: Diode, CO2, Fiber or UV

Start from your three most-used materials. The material decides the laser type, and buying the wrong type is the most expensive Black Friday mistake.

Galvo machines like xTool’s F-series steer the beam with mirrors, so they’re fast on small parts but have small work areas and cut edges at a slight angle. Gantry machines like the S1 and P2S move the head itself, which is slower but cuts cleaner. One r/Laserengraving owner’s rule of thumb for diodes: 5W for fine detail, 10W for deeper engraving and light cutting, and 20W to cut 1/8 to 1/4 inch stock. The diode vs CO2 vs IR breakdown goes deeper.

The Real Cost of a Black Friday Laser: Add-Ons to Budget For

The sticker price is only part of what you’ll spend. A realistic budget includes ducting, a fan or filter, air assist, a honeycomb bed, test materials, a rotary attachment and fire-safety gear.

Two rules save the most money. First, buy a machine with a factory enclosure; aftermarket enclosures don’t fit as well. Second, opening a window doesn’t count as ventilation. One maker who started with a 5W laser bought a 5W “cutting” module, a honeycomb bed, an air pump, an enclosure and a stronger fan, then realized the parts cost more than a complete machine would have.

Black Friday is also the time to stock up on materials. xTool’s supply discounts ran alongside its machine sale last year, and Creality Falcon took 15% off materials when you bought five.

Fake Laser Engraver Black Friday Discounts and Bundle Traps

The commonest trap is the strike-through price, as the P2S example under the price table shows.

The second trap is the bundle tier. Product pages often mix photos and specs from higher tiers, so the demo you’re watching may use a module your bundle doesn’t include. Before checkout, confirm the laser module, the camera, air assist and enclosure. If the page doesn’t make the tier clear, email support and get the answer in writing.

The rest are quieter:

• Cheap machines sometimes ship with safety glasses that don’t meet the rating they claim. Buy certified glasses separately for any open-frame laser.
• Default material settings can be badly off. Run a test grid on scrap before a real job.
• Never laser vinyl or PVC. It releases chlorine gas that damages the machine and your lungs.
• Forum posts claiming a machine “dropped from $1,800 to $1,200” rarely link a source. Check the brand’s own sale page.

If you’re still choosing between machine types, the best laser engravers by type guide is the longer read.

FAQ: Laser Engraver Black Friday Deals

Is it cheaper to buy a laser engraver on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

For laser engraver Black Friday deals from the big brands, it’s the same sale. Both xTool and Creality Falcon ran a single event in 2025, ending on Cyber Monday or December 1. What changes inside the window is the flash deals: xTool dropped limited machines every Thursday and added gift sets on November 28 and December 1.

When does the xTool Black Friday sale start?

xTool hasn’t announced 2026 dates. In 2025 the sale started November 3 and ran through Cyber Monday, with automatic tiered discounts at checkout. As of October 20, a smaller Halloween tier and a 60-day price guarantee are already live on xTool’s US store.

Will the xTool X1 be discounted for Black Friday?

The X1 launches October 28, 2026, and both launch versions carry a first-month discount off MSRP. xTool hasn’t said whether Black Friday will bring a deeper cut, so treat the first-month price as the launch deal.

What is the best laser engraver for the money?

If you want CO2, the xTool P2S is the deal on the list: it’s already below last year’s checkout price. Under $400, I’d pick the Carverall X1 Pro (20W, $358.79), and the AtomStack P1 Dual at $399 adds infrared metal marking inside a Class 1 enclosure. The S1 40W gives hobby sellers the most enclosed cutting power per dollar, but at $1,619 it’s still above last November, so wait for $1,549 or less.

What is the cheapest laser engraving machine worth buying?

Fully enclosed machines start lower than many people expect. On October 20, AlgoLaser’s 5W Pixi with enclosure was $229 and the Creality Falcon A1C 5W was $269, both Class 1. Last Black Friday the 10W Pixi dropped to $290 with a code.

Are there any discount codes for xTool or Creality Falcon?

Last year Creality Falcon used BFVIP8 for 8% off and AlgoLaser used BKS12, while xTool applied its discount automatically at checkout. Neither code is confirmed for 2026. Creality Falcon is offering WELCOME5 to new subscribers as of October 20.
