The LONGER Ray5 Mini 5.5W is a 130 × 130 mm desktop laser engraver, ranked ninth in this guide. It is the 5.5W version of the Ray5 Mini, the machine that also appears here in 3.5W form at £135.99 and £159.78 — and that is where the arithmetic gets interesting. This one is listed at £161.49, which is £1.71 more than the dearer 3.5W and £25.50 more than the cheaper one.

What the extra £1.71 does not buy is speed: the listing quotes the same 12,000 mm/min top speed as the 3.5W version, and a 0.08 mm laser spot where the 3.5W is quoted at 0.04 × 0.04 mm, so the more powerful machine is also the one with the wider spot on paper. The same listing shows 4.5 out of 5 from 48 reviews, while the star breakdown supplied with it adds up to 100 ratings. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for the 5.5W machine, not from any testing we have carried out.
