This review is sponsored by Algolaser - I was encouraged to write it with a promise of receiving engraving materials worth 39$. I was asked to write this review quite in early stage. Did not have a chance to test everything as it is one of many devices for my workshop I purchased recently. Algolaser Alpha 20W is a well made hobbyist device, nice sturdy build, well designed and with pretty finish. Nicely packaged, sturdy pack withstand being crushed a bit in transport despite "fragile" stickers - nothing warped, Very easy to assemble. Did nice test engraving. Built in card slot and screen is a nice addition allowing to use without computer. Negative - I did not have time to test extender, enclosure or roller, I can only assume they are seemingly nicely made with good material and paint, also could not find MAC address in settings to allow device to my secured wifi network - so 3 stars, also because they did not give me enough time to test everything. I am in general satisfied - minus the MAC address - no way to connect to secured WI-FI, which would be optimal for me, not to have computer in dusty workshop.
