I purchased my Glowforge in 2020 and it worked great for one year. Then I started having issues and it was really hard to get support. They only work with you over email and it's really time consuming. I never did get it working again. And when I asked about sending it in for repair the only option they had was to basically buy a refurbished one. The price the quoted me was actually more than I originally paid for my first Glowforge. The model isn't sustainable. There are limited repairs that can be done to a Glowforge by the consumer. Basically replacing lenses, filters, etc. Anything else you have to send it to them (and it cost hundreds in shipping to do so). But they have such a backlog of repairs that they don't actually repair it and send it back. They give you the option to buy a refurbished one at a "discount." In my case the price had gone up so much that the discounted refurbished one was more costly than I originally paid. When you look at the price of the Glowforge don't think of it as "buying" a Glowforge. It's more accurate to think of it as renting a Glowforge for the warranty period. Once that warranty is up your days are numbered. When it fails (and it will--check the Better Business Bureau or Trustpilot to get a clearer picture of what it's actually like to "own" a Glowforge) you're going to have to invest more money to buy a refurbished unit. The upfront price tag is just a fraction of the long term cost of ownership. If you have tons of disposable income go for it it. It's a great toy while it lasts. If you're planning to start a business with it make sure you have a plan for the downtime you'll be facing when it fails and has to be repaired/replaced. Or just go with something else.
