Showed this to my husband and he loved it. little does he know he's getting for his birthday in December. He really hasn't stopped talking about how cool it would be. I really think he will like the Aura.
I love watching both of you do videos and I’ve always wanted a Glo Forge but they were just way over my budget. I am so excited about the Glo Forge Aura you make it look so easy.
First: you are both so fun to watch! Second: Greg is quite camera friendly, and I would enjoy watching more of his presentations. He seems to be very at ease in front of the camera. Third: I want an Aura! Thanks!
Yes, I think any tutorial we do for the Aura would work for the Pro or Plus as well! I cut most everything I did for this video on BOTH to compare it, and they both did great. :)
I first saw the Aura advertised last night. I'm so happy to find y'alls review this morning! Refreshingly unbiased and easy to understand your explanation of the features of the machine, especially for someone who is researching lasers!
Hello Jennifer and Greg! A pleasure to see you both. This looks so exciting! I have wanted a glowforge for so long and this may someday be in my price range long before the bigger machines. Thanks for the introduction!
Thank you for this video! It was such a treat to see Greg and you talk about this new product! I look forward to seeing all the laser cutter reviews that you bring to us. We can always count on you to give us true and accurate facts. I’m not in the market for this yet, but who knows for the future.
Yay! I'm happy you liked this! He was a little nervous about doing this with me, but he's a great guy and SUPER knowledgeable about laser cutting, so I was really happy he agreed to do it. I hope to get him to do more videos with me on laser crafting. :)
I love that you buy it yourself. Others claim they receive it free but they give their honest review on it. I would love to get one. On the cons I know if we pay less we can’t expect it to preform like the 5,000 one. I’m looking forward to future videos.
I'm so excited! Finally an affordable laser cutter that is more for hobbiests rather than professionals. Thank you for this video and the other laser videos you are planning.
I would love the free frame design! I’m repeating everyone but thank you for such a well planned presentation. I appreciate the examples and the comparisons of the Glowforge models. I’m just starting with my Aura. Loving what I’m accomplishing. Please do tutorials on all the projects you’ve displayed.
I’ve been wanting the pro since I first saw it last year even though it’s way out of my budget , I used to watch Nick & Bailey on glowforge tv weekly TH-cam videos but they just stopped so I didn’t even know this was a thing But now I do I want it NOW x
I have an aura on order. I have watched your cricut videos for years and can't wait to watch your videos on the glowforge. Please please make a video introducing us to the glowforge software, that is the main thing I am worried I may stumble over. Thanks! P.S. You two are great on camera together.
Thank you Jennifer and Greg, this video was awsome it clarified some of my questions. I am so excited and can't wait to see more of the laser cutter videos!
Hello Jennifer! Thank you for the info on the new Aura. It was great seeing you and Greg together and I believe he should definitely do Tutorials with you. That will be must see TV...lol Love your Cat's picture and all the Projects were fantastic. Thanks so much for everything you do Jennifer! 😺
Omg I've been thinking of getting one!! You two are so adorable together!! You've been my cricket 'go to' expert for years. Now you both are my going to be my glowforge duo!!
Thanks…I appreciate your generosity and I hope you continue with all the free tutorials and products you provide!! I also think Greg is a natural!! You too could do infomercials 🤣 you’re so cute together! Thanks again!
Yes, we'll definitely continue with our free tutorials and designs -- it's really important to us! I will be sure to tell Greg what you said, too! (He also might just read it, of course. LOL)
I love your cat photo & tree of life plaque! These are so cool. You both are so talented. Thanks for sharing. I enjoy watching & learning from your videos 😊.
Thank you Jennifer and Greg for this video. I have been bitten by the GlowForge bug for a year BUT the price is kind of a bite but the Aura is definitely something to think about. The video was very informative, would LOVE to see more videos about the Aura. Will be joining y’all’s Glow Forge group. TYFS.
I've been saving for the pro and realized (literally two days ago) that there's no convenient way to fit it into my craft room/library (my house is super small). The Aura is tempting, but I'm concerned about it being a diode laser and not doing everything I want it to do (also concerned that as of right now they haven't released any tech as specs for it on their site). Thanks Jennifer and Greg for the awesome video (and for paying for your own stuff so I can always trust your reviews!).
Makes sense! Keep watching for the tech specs ... I have some, and I'm sure it's just a matter of time. Launches are very detail heavy and it's easy to forget or overlook things. I know I've been struggling, and all I'm doing is talking about it, not actually manufacturing it!
You guys..Thank You! I have been looking at the Glowforge PRO since it was first introduced in 2017? I just couldn't justify the price...but this...the Aura could be a perfect starting point!
Thank you for the video and those wonderful files. The files opened in my canvas workspace and look great. I have the Glowforge Plus, never opened; but the Aura looks so easy and nonintimidating.
Y’all are gorgeous! So great to see you two together on this video. The pictures, especially the one in Hawaii, is so sweet but seeing you in action together is just fabulous. I’ve had my eye on a GlowForge for many years, but like many people it was not practical to spend that kind of $$ as a laser beginner. I’m hoping to get this one in the future! Thanks for another great video. You are the BEST at giving all the info we need to be makers. Big mahalo to you both! 🤙🏼🌺
I am in love with this new machine. I am going to wait to see the comparison of the other machines. The only thing I wish it had was the embossing on acrylic. I know my Maker can do this but it would be great if it did. It would be the perfect machine.
I Really wanted to get detailed info about this laser and you answered all my questions! Thank you for being so detailed and unbiased 🫶🏼 I now feel comfortable buying this new investment ❤😆
Now I am in big trouble and the two wonderful teachers too. I want it a Glowforge so bad, but it’s super pricey, now the Aura give me a big excuse to own one.😱😱💃🏽
Looking forward to more videos on reviewing other laser engravers. One thing that is intimidating is the venting and filtering and maintenance and cleaning of the lasers; feels like a lot to go through if I’m not going to be using it often.
Hi Jennifer and Greg! Your tutorials are wonderful. Do you have a tutorial that addresses the Glowforge Pro and Glowforge Plus? I’m looking for the next step up in Glowforge family. Thanks!
I am a hobbiest but could consider making this a small business venture. This video was very helpful. I would love to see your comparisons so that I can better decide if any of these laser machines are right for me. Thank you!
What an amazing honest review! THANK YOU! It will be great if you would also please review the XTool M1 and do a comparison. It seems that both machine are for the hobbyist but I am now confused which one to get for my small business.
Hi Jennifer and Greg great seeing you both together and done a great demo you's are very cute and lovely together thank you both so much, don't think I am ready for Glowforge right now, still learning my maker #3 lol looks amazing machine though! Thank you both for Sharing Hugs Liz 😊
I have been wanting to try a laser, but I was worried it would be too complicated. This one sounds like the perfect one to start with. Thanks so much, I can't wait to watch the other videos!
I love to have this machine but I have a question you mention the price of 1199.00 and I saw in HSN they where sale the same machine retail 1499.00 and was advertising on special value for 1299.00 why is that.? You guys have a better price. What is the real price for this machine?
@@yolandabrnitez2603 I watched the glowforge live the other day and it sounded to me like about 1200 is the normal price because they were "on sale" for $1000 and they said they were $200 off.
Great video - thank you! Have you tried marking spray or marking paper for "engraving" in stainless steel? I was wondering what the best product would be to use? ❤️
Excellent review. I am still very interested in buying this machine but, and I think this was vital info, was its inability to cut clear acrylic and that is making me rethink my priorities. I would love to see more videos on this and other machines.
You didn’t mention that you can only do flat items. I was hoping to do tumblers, but still love to do it with with stencils from Cricut and orange paint remover product
Thank you so much for the review. I am looking at it to use with my embroidery machine, I do a lot of applique, will this work with embroidery designs?
Thank you Jennifer and Greg! This has been very informative and really interesting! I wonder if they will be coming to Australia...? Look forward to seeing this series! Thanks again!
I love all the new crafty things cricut venture and this glowforge aura but As always it will be probably be months and heaps more exspensive in Australia. I will keep dreaming and wishing 😊
I love seeing Greg with you. You always talk about him. What a great team!
He's the BEST! I am happy he said he'd do this video with me, and we had fun making it!
Showed this to my husband and he loved it. little does he know he's getting for his birthday in December. He really hasn't stopped talking about how cool it would be.
I really think he will like the Aura.
Awesome!
Gosh, I just love seeing you two together.
I love watching both of you do videos and I’ve always wanted a Glo Forge but they were just way over my budget. I am so excited about the Glo Forge Aura you make it look so easy.
It is super easy to use. Thank you!
I love when you have Greg in your videos. He reminds me of Al on the show tool time. flannel shirt and hand on hips. Love it!
Haha! Yes! 💗
First: you are both so fun to watch! Second: Greg is quite camera friendly, and I would enjoy watching more of his presentations. He seems to be very at ease in front of the camera. Third: I want an Aura! Thanks!
YAY! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! 😊🌻
I cannot wait for this series! I’ve been too intimidated to use my Glowforge, but I know any tutorial you do will be a perfect place to start!
Yes, I think any tutorial we do for the Aura would work for the Pro or Plus as well! I cut most everything I did for this video on BOTH to compare it, and they both did great. :)
For a true non tech newbie....what computer/software is best. What would you recommend for all future possibilities with the aura?
You and Greg are sooooo good together
Aww! Thank you so much! 😊🌻
I agree!
I first saw the Aura advertised last night. I'm so happy to find y'alls review this morning! Refreshingly unbiased and easy to understand your explanation of the features of the machine, especially for someone who is researching lasers!
Hooray! So happy you enjoyed our video -- we enjoyed making it!
I can not tell you how grateful I am of your honest review! This is a big purchase and it’s great to hear a point of view that’s not been influenced!!
Thank you so much! 😊🌻
That's so cute and perfect to have a crafty guy at home helping you ❤
Thank you so much for watching! 😊🌻
I just got this today! It has been on my list for years but the cost kept me away. The aura is perfect IMO. It’s very easy to set up and easy to use!
I have been wanting a Glowforge , forever!
You should take the plunge! 😊🌻
Hello Jennifer and Greg! A pleasure to see you both. This looks so exciting! I have wanted a glowforge for so long and this may someday be in my price range long before the bigger machines. Thanks for the introduction!

I feel that way too. 😊🌻 Thank you so much for watching!
I love my Glowforge Plus, I’ve been using it for 2 years now… but was curious about the Aura! Love seeing Greg with you, he’s a natural!!👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much for watching! 😊🌻
Oh no, something else I really want!! Hahaha, someday! It was cool having Greg in the video as well.
Yay, I’ll let him know!

Awesome review and I’m getting closer to wanting one and now buying it
Cool 👍
Thanks Jennifer & Greg for the review! May be something down the road. I would love to have one.

I just ordered this machine yesterday. I’m starting to rethink this. Not reading good reviews.
Here is their website glowforge.com/aura/main
love the glowforge! you two are so cute together 💕
You two are the best!! I tell everyone about your site and how helpful you are, love from Hobart, Tas. xxxxx
Aww, thank you, Elaine!
Jennifer thank you two so very much love you
Thanks so much! 😃❤️❤️
Great information! You two are adorable together ❤️.
Aww, thank you, Tracy!
I loved this video, thank you! It’s so awesome seeing both of you demonstrate a cool tool
Yay! We loved making it together -- it was way more fun!
Hi Jennifer and Gregg. Thank you for showing the Aura. I am sure you will be doing other tutorials as well. I am definitely looking forward to it.
We definitely will be! Thank you so much for watching! 😊🌻
I have just bought one…would love for you to do tons of projects for us to see.
We're working on it! 😊🌻
I'm so glad Glowforge finally came out with a laser I can use. Greg did awesome with you on your video, he should do more of them!😊💕
Thank you, I told him you said that! :)
You guys..Thank You! I have been looking at the Glowforge PRO since it was first introduced in 2017? I just couldn't justify the price...but this...the Aura could be a perfect starting point!
I agree! 😊🌻
I'm so glad I saw this. Not being able to cut light color acrylic is a deal breaker for me.
Yes, the diode laser does have its limitations, as Greg said. Thank you so much for watching! 😊🌻
Thank you for the video and those wonderful files. The files opened in my canvas workspace and look great. I have the Glowforge Plus, never opened; but the Aura looks so easy and nonintimidating.
Thank you so much! And I agree, it's a great entry level machine. 😊🌻
I really enjoyed your video I am going to keep up with you all. It’s awesome
Awesome! Thank you!🥰
Please do a tutorial on the cat picture frame Jenifer😊
Thank you for letting me know you want one!!
Thanks for the info! It looks like a great starting point for laser machines...
My pleasure!
Just got my Aura today. Can't wait for you to make some more videos as I am lost on the software.
Yay!! Stick around for my tutorials!🥰
Y’all are gorgeous! So great to see you two together on this video. The pictures, especially the one in Hawaii, is so sweet but seeing you in action together is just fabulous. I’ve had my eye on a GlowForge for many years, but like many people it was not practical to spend that kind of $$ as a laser beginner. I’m hoping to get this one in the future! Thanks for another great video. You are the BEST at giving all the info we need to be makers. Big mahalo to you both! 🤙🏼🌺
Aww, thank you! We had fun making this video together, and I'm glad you enjoyed it, too!
That’s what I thought too. Such a lovely couple.
I enjoyed this review. Thank you both 😊
Hooray! Thank you!
I have been looking at lasers to decide . Love the information that you gave. Thank you ❤
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the review. I have ordered mine can’t wait to try it out
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you so much for the review. I own a glowforge and thought this new one was a ‘mini’ of my current laser. There is so much to learn.
Glad I could help! 😊🌻
Waiting for mine to arrive. I believe it will be perfect for tiered tray decor:)
Have fun!
Loved your honest review. Both of you together is so fun to see.
I would love to purchase a Glowforge Aura and adding it to my holiday list.
That's wonderful! Thanks you!
So helpful - thank you for the information!

Awesome, thank you! 😊🌻
Now I am in big trouble and the two wonderful teachers too. I want it a Glowforge so bad, but it’s super pricey, now the Aura give me a big excuse to own one.😱😱💃🏽
It's a great way to get into laser cutting! 🥰
Looking forward to more videos on reviewing other laser engravers. One thing that is intimidating is the venting and filtering and maintenance and cleaning of the lasers; feels like a lot to go through if I’m

I love the butterfly!! I would love to make one.
I'm so happy you love it! 😊🌻
Ty for this detailed video.

Hi Jennifer and Greg! Your tutorials are wonderful. Do you have a tutorial that addresses the Glowforge Pro and Glowforge Plus? I’m looking for the next step up in Glowforge family. Thanks!
Not at this time.

I am not exactly sure in what you are asking about in regards to embroidery. Here is the website. glowforge.com
hello! would you recomended for fetlt accesories?
Felt? I don't believe so. 😊🌻
Thank you Jennifer and Greg! This has been very informative and really interesting! I wonder if they will be coming to Australia...? Look forward to seeing this series! Thanks again!
Happy to help! I am not sure about Australia -- I will inquire. :)
I love all the new crafty things cricut venture and this glowforge aura but As always it will be probably be months and heaps more exspensive in Australia. I will keep dreaming and wishing 😊
