Preview review. Compiled from manufacturer specifications and published information. We will update the scores after hands-on testing.
Our verdict
The LP1 Plus is the easiest way to try laser engraving: $199, phone control, and a first engraving within minutes from a power bank. It is a low-power laser (about 0.6 W), so it engraves rather than cuts, and independent testing is still scarce. As a gift for a curious crafter, it makes sense; for anything serious, start with the LP2 or LP2 Plus.
What we like
- Only $199 for the Standard Bundle
- Pocket-sized and runs from a power bank
- Phone app imports photos and doodles
- Multi-angle stand and magnetic base for small items
- Optional enclosure and auto-focus stand
What could be better
- Low power (about 0.6 W): engraving only, slow on harder materials
- Few independent hands-on reviews so far
- Goggles must be worn and the beam kept away from cameras
- Smoke from paper and leather needs ventilation

What is it?
The LP1 Plus is LaserPecker’s pocket engraver: small enough for a backpack, powered by a phone power bank, and controlled with the same Design Space app as the bigger machines. It is aimed at beginners, families and crafters who want to personalise wood, leather, paper and treats without a workshop.
The Standard Bundle costs $199 (list $399), and the Creator Bundle with an auto-focus stand $349.
An honest note
We found no detailed, independent hands-on test with measured results. This preview is based on LaserPecker’s specifications, a short user write-up and retailer listings. Scores are provisional.
What you get
- About 0.6 W diode laser, according to retailer specifications: enough to engrave, not to cut.
- A multi-angle stand for 360° engraving and a magnetic base to hold small items.
- Bluetooth control from the phone app: import a photo or a doodle and engrave.
- Options: a safety enclosure for families, and an auto-focus stand for more precise results.
What early users say
A hands-on user write-up found setup quick and the app easy for beginners, with photo-to-engraving features. The same user stressed wearing the included goggles, keeping the beam away from cameras, and expecting smoke from paper and leather. They saw it as a creative tool for everyday users and hobbyists, not professionals.
LP1 Plus vs the alternatives
- vs LaserPecker LP2 ($549): about eight times the laser power, a faster galvo head and far more materials. See LP1 Plus vs LP2.
- vs LaserPecker LP2 Plus ($809): for anyone who wants to cut.
Final thoughts
The LP1 Plus is a fun, low-risk introduction to laser engraving at $199. Buy the enclosure if children will use it, and step up to the LP2 family when you outgrow it.
