AVOID

The English language used on the site says it all

"free shipping over 29" Is that pounds, pence or Kg's ?

Exactly, there's loads of FB adverts with utterly absurd prices, such as electric mountain bikes for £25 simply to fool people into entering their details.

Agreed FB is awash with adverts for seemingly tempting tat at eye catching prices.

Do your research, but as always, buyer beware!

I read
"It's been recommended by 2.8K people on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram"
as instant twit face.

If you reverse image search the images, you can see a few places sell it and no-one sells it THAT cheaply. It's available on Amazon (updated model but still uses some of the same photos) for $999.00....

MP200 is a 5 in 1 welder cutter, etc. But it is definatly not a fibre laser welder, they have just added in a video and picture of a fibre welder in action but that has nothing to do with the 5 in 1 machine in the pictures.

Let's be honest, you couldn't buy half of the component parts for that price, individually.

And do you trust your safety on the cheapest of the cheap laser products. I really have a disdain for cheap laser products, even when they're real, the risks are vast and not just limited to the direct user. The endless sale of crazy laser pens is just the tip of the iceberg - mini laser engravers etc are similar - it's a laser capable of burning a hole through things, made super cheap and half-assembled by the end user - let's put that in the hands of folk who don't understand reflection risks, probably won't wear goggled and won't stop their kid running in to look.
