Long story short, it started clogging from day 1. No matter what I did and how many times I unclogged it, it would continue to clog. It took about 3 months to get the issue fixed. To be fair though, a lot of those 3 months were me being out of the country and/or not feeling like dealing with a clogged printer.
Credit to Elegoo's customer service who were pretty good about helping out. They sent me a replacement extruder at no cost, which didn't help with the clogging issue. They ended up sending me the entire printer head and that finally fixed the problem. Now that it's working, I have to say at times it prints better than my P1S.
Would I suggest this printer? Yeah if you aren't a total noob to 3D printing. If you are and just want the most minimal hassle, I suggest waiting for a sale and spending a little bit more for a Bambu.
They also use sketchy "pre-order" tactics- they claim special pre-order pricing, but it never changes. This printer was supposedly $299 during preorder with a "retail" price of $500, yet it's still $299 months later. Apparently, all their printers follow the same pricing gimmick.
Not sure if that saves anyone money or if they would send you the same, or any, offer, but if your are considering this printer then maybe try adding one to your cart and wait a day or two to see if they send an offer. Mine was before the announcement of V2 as well so they may be getting even more aggressive with the discounts to clear out inventory.
edit: this is the specific listing I used to add to my cart ... https://ebay.us/m/GZPYnh

And I am sure there are other things that I am not taking into consideration that would maybe stand out to some more experienced printers.
Wondering if y'all have any suggestions on where to start here, I'm trying to end up in the $500 range but obviously don't mind more investment if it'll really count.
I'd go flashforge 5m pro over this if you don't mind the $100 premium, but the new Bambu P2S is likely the winner if you can go to $550.
Pick your pricepoint, pick your poison.
They all work great, just less opportunity for headaches as you go up the price scale.

If you need AMS today, look elsewhere but if you aren't worried about AMS, it makes a great beginner printer.
