screencap of a Thunder Laser Canada review on Google reviews "I have been blown away with my experience with Thunder Laser Canada. I had no previous experience operating a laser machine prior to purchasing my Nova 24. Thunder Laser Canada’s customer support truly went above and beyond to answer all of my questions and made the process as seamless as possible. Additionally, they were incredibly helpful in providing a training session to help me understand the software and maintenance involved with the machine. If you are considering purchasing a laser to either grow your business or start up a new one (like myself), you will NOT regret it! I have now been running my small business since July 2022 and I am so glad I made the decision to purchase this laser. Thank you Thunder Laser Canada!-Danielle Smith"
