Creality Falcon2 laser engraver enclosure pro

Creality states this "effectively isolates 99% of the smoke and odor"... that's a bold statement!

I've been using this enclosure for a couple of months, mostly when I cut or engrave wood, and although it reduces the strong smell released (of burnt wood), I wouldn't call it 99% isolation. This is not a fully closed enclosure, so there's always some smoke escaping through the bottom and wire grommets. That's unavoidable. However, if the hose is vented to the exterior and the fan is running, it does help to an extent.

I would not buy this enclosure based on the premise that it eliminates all the smoke or smell, but mostly as a safety device. Laser engravers are dangerous machines and the Creality Falcon 2 laser is a Class 4 laser. That type of laser can seriously hurt someone's eyes if they're exposed to a reflection. This enclosure can help mitigating that, although safety glasses are always advised when someone's in the same room with a laser like this in operation (using an enclosure or not).

I should also mention that this is a big enclosure and a large table with some depth is needed - check it's dimensions prior to buying. It's also sometimes stated that you can easily take it apart and store it easily, but that's not exactly true. It can be taken apart - the fabric is removed and can be folded, and the metal tubes can be easily separated - but in reality you won't like to be doing that often, because the fabric piece is a pain to fit over the structure (which makes sense in order to be properly stretched). Meaning: you'll assemble it once and leave it as is... given it's a big enclosure, make sure you have space for it.
