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.

Internals are different, it's not just a "lite refresh".
After many emails, support first wanted me to replace the motors myself, but I refused. They eventually sent a replacement printer at the end of August. It worked for about two weeks before new problems started — the filament wouldn't stick, then it formed a blob around the nozzle and stopped printing completely.
I asked for a refund or another replacement, but they refused and only sent parts with a long, complicated repair guide. Even after doing everything and checking YouTube for help, the printer still failed — now the print head won't heat properly.
I've tried multiple times to escalate my case, but those requests are ignored, and since they only reply once a day, every step takes forever. Now, in mid-October, they're offering to send yet another cable. After nearly three months, two printers, and over 50 emails, it's worked less than two weeks total.

I would not buy one today if I had any hope of multi material, if that's what you want get an ad5x or spend up and get the p2s combo. Never buy something based on future promises and it's looking like if the multi material system ever does come out for the CC1, based on the CC2, it will be tacked on and not worth the money.
You have a link to a -reliable- source for that information?

FYI, I'm a casual 3D printer guy who has yet to learn any design. My first 3D printer was an Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro and it was great for me.
