Will Wright’s take

Based on the specs and price

Great value

“An enclosed, multi-colour CoreXY for $349.”

It's a direct budget rival to the Bambu P1S, with filament drying built into the colour system. The camera is low-resolution and it isn't made for high-temp materials, but for everyday printing it's a lot of machine for the money.
