The differences that matter
- Price: €259 on the S9 against €499 on the S9 Pro → nearly double.
- Declared power: 5.5 W on the S9 against 10 W on the S9 Pro.
- Work area: 410×415 mm on the S9 against 400×410 mm on the S9 Pro, a minimal difference.
- Declared cut depth: the same on both (15 mm wood, 10 mm acrylic).
Which one to choose
Choose S9 if…
Anyone wanting to save money and fine with a declared 5.5 W power picks the S9 at €259, with the same work area (410×415 mm) and the same declared cut depth as the Pro model. The trade-off is a lower rated power.
Choose S9 Pro if…
Anyone wanting the declared 10 W power pays nearly double (€499 against €259) for a slightly smaller work area (400×410 mm), with the same declared cut depth as the S9.
