Pros:

It is cheap for a 200mw laser, but not reccommended if you want a laser to last long and burn things.

Cons:

These lasers are manufactured by a company called Newwish. Tested, and only outputting 60mw for a 200mw laser. Not burning balloons, poor IR filter. Cheap switch, eats up batteries easily. If you really want to get 200mw you would have to buy lithium cell batteries to get it to 200mw for like 5 seconds.

Bottomline:

It is very cheap. You can buy it if you dont use it as much. It is just a toy. Very affordable if you don't want to waste 1000 bucks for a real burning laser. It's cheap for a 70mw laser.

Pros:

*Extremely cheap
*Melts plastic with ease
*178.7 mw average (I tested at my school) Don't let this turn you away because its still really powerful. Manufacturers rate the peak point, about the first 3 seconds when you turn it on and its a burst of light

Cons:

*NO IR FILTER!!! If you are going to get this USE WITH IR BLOCKING GOGGLES! They are cheap buy some. Your eyes can and WILL be damaged from just looking at the dot from 2 meters away. I have seen first hand someones eye vision go from 20/20 to 16/18 after a few months of exposure to IR light. This is NOT A TOY DO NOT TREAT IT LIKE ONE! Other than that, these are really really cool.

Other Thoughts:

Don't even think about shining it at someone. You can buy some IR filters that easy to install google them. A suggestion to DX, sell some IR blocking goggles/glasses atleast 5.0's or not at all :P or you could buy some IR filters and attatch them for like 50 extra (I think sufficient ones are like 40 bucks). Anyways keep the great deals going :P

Bottomline:

When using caution these can be pretty fun. This is an amazing deal though, and I would get another.
