It is junk. It will come damaged. It is like a 100lb printer and they decided to use dinky m4 screws to hold the feet on. They sheer off during shipment and you will be stuck doing a bolt extraction first day of ownership.
Your next problem with be the huge, heavy, glass door they decided to GLUE onto the hinges. If it didn't come detached it will do so soon.
The gigantic bed will be warped worse than a taco.
It can't print TPU without modification.
And finally if you get past all that your extruder will grenade itself because Creality designed it with the Bowden tube clip built into it rather than outside and replaceable. If you buy the CFS (more problems) your extruder will destroy itself after a couple hundred color swaps. This is due to the tiny metal teeth inside the tube holder that break off and fall inside the gearing. Creality knows about the issue, doesn't care, and recently issued a new extruder model that is exactly the same design, failing to address it.
On paper this printer blows everything out of the water. In reality you will most likely get a lemon and be stuck trying to contact Creality for replacement parts.
Stay away
With that said I also recently bought a Bambu X1C and don't think I'll be going back to Creality. The v3 Plus is still my go to for large prints but for everything smaller the X1C just is simpler to use.

I expect Creality to botch their printer launches. They always do. But the amount they borked the K2 launch has been truly egregious and it is clear they refuse to address the many design flaws inherent. That to me is unforgivable. For example they have known about the extruder design problem for more than 6 months now. For your flagship printer that is crazy. Creality has already moved on and will be releasing a tool changing printer like everyone else within a year.
Buying this refurb you are guaranteeing you get one of those early return units. It will be plagued with issues
I have another K2 plus that I bought new from Amazon and it has been an absolute Rockstar. Great printing out of the box and no issues since.
