Problems, parts and running costs

Summary

An enclosed 22 W blue diode laser cutter and engraver for hobbyists and small shops, with a built-in positioning camera, one-click autofocus and air assist. Before buying, confirm the exact Pro S SKU and the true working area: the US product page states 355 × 390 mm, while a manual still labeled “Falcon2 Pro S” prints an older 400 × 415 mm table.

Strengths

  • Enclosed design with lid interlock, emergency stop and keyed lock adds safety layers over an open-frame machine.
  • Built-in camera and autofocus reduce setup time on irregular offcuts after calibration.
  • 22 W optical output handles engraving and cutting of many common crafting woods and dark materials.
  • TF card support lets a finished G-code job run without a tethered laptop.
  • Official replacement protective lenses and optional honeycomb beds are available for the Falcon2 family.
  • Creality agreed to send a replacement mainboard in one May 2026 owner report, a concrete support example.

Weaknesses

  • The manual labeled “Pro S” still prints an older 400 × 415 mm table, so the true bed size is uncertain.
  • Camera placement can shift with workpiece height and may need recalibration per job.
  • Smoke can escape enclosure seams; an enclosure is not a certified fume containment system.
  • Clear acrylic, PVC, vinyl and metal sheet are not reliable cuts with a 455 nm diode.
  • Stock and availability are inconsistent, with the manufacturer page showing “Available Soon”.
  • Ventilation, optics cleaning and setup add cost beyond the $899 asking price.

Full research notes and sources

Which model this is

This page covers the Creality Falcon2 Pro S 22W Enclosed Diode Laser Engraver & Cutter, US manufacturer item 1005010220, EAN 6977905740062, also listed by Adorama as CR1005010220. Do not confuse it with the older non-S Falcon2 Pro 22W (B&H model CV-50 PRO 22W), the open-frame Falcon2 22W, or the Pro S 40W. Retailers reuse images and listings, so match on the item number and the 355 × 390 mm working area, not on photos.

Working area and assembly

The most important buying detail is the bed. The US product page and Adorama both state 355 × 390 mm, while a Creality-hosted PDF titled “Falcon2 Pro S” still carries a legacy table with 400 × 415 mm, the size of the older non-S Pro. No factory erratum reconciles the two. Budget to 355 × 390 mm unless you can measure the delivered machine, and do not order stock cut to 400 mm. The same PDF shows top and side panels, strip supports, exhaust fan and laser module being assembled, so treat this as partial assembly rather than a ready-to-run box. The cabinet is listed at 664 × 570 × 328.4 mm with a 770 × 645 × 285 mm shipping package.

Safety, ventilation and fire

Creality markets a Class 1 enclosed configuration with a transparent filtered cover, lid interlock, flame warning, airflow and lens monitoring, collision and tilt stop, keyed safety lock and emergency stop. Those are safety layers, not permission to bypass exhaust or leave a cut unattended. Wood, paper and some polymers can ignite even inside the housing, and the flame sensor cannot guarantee detection of every fire. The manufacturer’s own manual warns of ignition and forbids unattended operation. Plan a real exhaust route and keep extinguishing equipment on hand before the first job; a $499 optional purifier is a major share of an $899 machine, and its $79.90 or $99 filters are extra.

Software and running costs

Falcon Design Space is a free download. LightBurn Core is an optional $99 one-time license with one year of updates, with $40 for a further year; it is not required for continued use of the licensed version. There is no compulsory annual machine subscription. Budget for blanks, scrap, optics, filters, ventilation and electricity. As an upper-bound illustration, 120 W run continuously for 500 hours is 60 kWh, about $12 at $0.20 per kWh, but 120 W is a rated maximum and separate purifier and pump loads may add to that. A genuine Falcon2 protective lens pack costs $59.99 for five lenses; replace it when damaged or fouled, not on a fixed schedule.

Is it worth it?

At under $800 from a reputable authorized seller with confirmed stock, the bundle is strong value; no such confirmed checkout was found. Between $800 and $950 is the plausible normal zone around the $899 ask. Above $1,100, compare the Falcon A1 Pro, listed at $879 in one snapshot and $1,099 on another page, and the xTool S1 20W, quoted at $1,139.99 sold out or $1,299 not in stock, before paying a third-party premium such as the $1,274.88 VXB listing. The open-frame Falcon2 22W basic kit at $589 lacks the enclosure and camera.
