So far the k40 type Co2 has been my entry into CO2 lasers. It's quicker than the diodes I have and cutting strength is much higher. The down side of it is the work space. I didn't think the smaller work space would have been a problem but it has been. I love the being able to use Lightburn and it is self contained but with the purchase of the cooler and other items which (I will list), I should have done more research. First the fan to draw out fumes and smoke is way underpowered. It does not move the exhaust like it should. Second, there is no air assist. You have to go aftermarket for that and you need to watch which one you get. When you add the aftermarket air assist, you have to find a way to route the air line (usually enough space in the drag chain) but the red pointer laser you have to make a way for it to work if you even decide to keep it. Thirdly, the work space is very small and limits you on the size of your projects. Fourth, the work bed itself is not adjustable so when you add the new air assist, you lose focus range. To make it adjustable I use a 300x200 honeycomb bed mounted to a 8x8 lab jack with a home made handle to operate from outside the unit otherwise you will be moving stuff while attempting to get you focus right. All though I do like the desk top model, after adding up all I spent on a exterior fan system, better lighting, air assist and a pump, adjustable home made work bed and had to remove the original work bed and a cooling pump that's not even really operable on other lasers. I am almost there to a 20x28 auto focus that I probably should have went with in the first place.

Came with wrong plug for my laser machine. Other than that it was good
