Rank #3 in Best Laser Engraver 2026: 10 Ranked, From £135.99
xTool F2 Dual-Source Engraver, 15W Diode + 5W IR
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
At number three in this guide, the xTool F2 is the only machine here whose own listing tells private buyers not to order it: the first bullet states the product is "ONLY intended for professionals in commercial material processing, and may not be used by private consumers". The same page quotes a top speed of up to 6,000 mm/s, which is 360,000 mm/min — the unit conversion matters, because it is well under half the 15,000 mm/s quoted for the F2 Ultra elsewhere in this top ten. It sells for £1,549.00 and holds 4.5 stars from 9 reviews.
The numbers on this listing do not always agree with each other. A bullet says the machine weighs "only 4.6 kg"; the specification table underneath lists an item weight of 8.07 kg, and gives package dimensions of 42.7 x 40.6 x 31.6 cm. Both figures are printed on the same Amazon page and the page does not explain the gap. The nine ratings behind the 4.5 average come with a histogram of 82% five-star and 18% two-star — percentages that cannot be split into nine whole reviews. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for the xTool F2; we have not tested the machine ourselves.
How those 9 ratings break down

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Best Laser Engraver Ever! I owned the Xtool f1 Lite which I absolutely loved but had no idea what I was missing out on with the IR laser. And now with the F2 my creative possibilities have opened up 10 fold. Not only can I now engrave a ridiculous amount of materials but it's also super fast and easy to use.”
Verified purchase“Brilliant machine for the money. We run a trophy and engraving business and this laser is so good at engraving on metal, plastic, wood and other items. Very pleased with this after owing an xTool F1 before this. Both great machines. If you're looking to get into laser engraving i can highly recommend the F2!”
