The Sovol SV06 is a beginner-friendly 3D printer that comes with automatic print bed leveling. The printer also has a dual z-axis and is equipped with a direct drive extruder and an all-metal hotend, so it does not require any updates to work well out of the box. The SV06 is often compared to the Prusa MK3S due to its shared design elements, particularly the use of linear rods. These rods require less maintenance than V-wheels of other printers and allow for faster movement speeds.
The price is close to the best price for the SV06 so far, but since it's sold on Amazon, you can rely on Amazon customer service, which can be a plus in case you want to return a 3D printer.
There is a Klipper Screen upgrade available for the SV06. So if you decide that you want to speed it up to SV07-speed levels later on but want the better motion system of the SV06, you can add the 5" Klipper touch screen.

I purchased this SV06 after reading a recommendation on Reddit [reddit.com] and I haven't been disappointed. I have had a lot of successful prints and very few failed ones (although I haven't tried to print anything big that would take over 8 hours). I wouldn't say that it's been perfect but it has still been easy to tweak and get working right as a beginner. I just did a 5015 fan mode for the hot end [printables.com] this morning and did a couple of small prints and a bed level test [printables.com] and it seems to help things print just a little more smoothly. I also added a Raspberry PI and loaded OctoPrint [octoprint.org] (pretty easy with the Raspberry PI imager [raspberrypi.com]) so that I could print to the device wirelessly without having to swap out the microSD card each time I wanted to print something new

It's not the best deal ever for it, but it's still a good deal.
My Prusas have been workhorses. I built both but did not enjoy it. In hindsight, I probably would have spent extra to pay for assembled, BUT I think Prusa has been left behind a bit. Mainly with cost.
To me, Sovol has been the best value right up there with Bambu. If my P1S had not been down for so long with an annoying error, I'd rank it higher because Bambu really changed the game.
With all that said, I'm in for one of these. Almost as cheap as the lowest price, especially with my 5% back from Amazon card. With the return options and speed of shipping, this is going to be a great option when other printers are down, or even to keep going non-stop.
This or SV06+ are the best value and bang for your buck, especially when on sale. Easy setup and beginner friendly. I also had a problem with one, but I was sent parts twice. Communication was a bit slow, but I got it back up and running.

Any time I try to make a return, "bring it to Kohls" is the only option they give me.
It's not all bad, though, because Kohls tends to give you $5 in Kohls Cash any time to do this.

I didn't know it wasn't necessarily better? Is it not?
I'd say I pay on average about $12 per kg since I don't always get the absolute best deals. . Monthly budget I would think is about $24 since I think I have used up about 2x 1kg spools since I started printing at the end of December. It really depends on how often you print and the speed of your printer so YMMV.
Also, can someone comment on this vs the Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro? I upgraded to that from many years of using my original Ender 3 and other than the PEI plate it came with sucks, I've had okay prints with it.
