I know it says 2 year warranty, but it also says 1 year under the full description tab. I reached out to them a few weeks ago, because I thought about getting one when they were on sale, but more than this then, and they said it was a 1 year warranty. Don't know how Ebay handles these things, since they are the ones that list refurbished as being 2 year warranties, but just wanted to give a heads up.

I own 2 of them, but were new ones, and the prints are pretty dang good. They ate my first printers, and only had the 1st one since the middle of October, but over 1K hours between the 2, and have a Kobra 3 sitting in the floor still in the box. May get this and use the Ace from the Kobra 3 with it, and single color the 3.

I've had terrible experiences with any cubic fdm printers. I bought 3 of their kobras last year and all 3 died of the same failure within the first 3 weeks of owning them. Their QC is terrible and I wouldn't trust them with my money ever again.

My first anycubic printer was a Anycubic S1 combo. I was never able to produce any color print because their AMS failed to work on the first try. There was absolutely no damage to the printer at all. I can at least say that they let me return the entire order.

The 1 year warranty is through the manufacturer. All certified refurbished items get a separate 2 year warranty directly through Allstate.

Oh, OK. Didn't know that. I wondered how Ebay handled it, but wasn't sure. Thanks. Have seen some pics of people complaining about them having damage and whatnot, but I also see people in the group gripe about the print quality and whatnot, and I have 2 of them that work great.

The issue is that the Allstate warranty only kicks in after the manufacturer warranty runs out so you would still have to deal with Anycubic for the first year (which most don't have good experiences with).

Here is the Allstate warranty details:

Anycubic is one of the worst 3d printers / printer company around. Buyer beware.

Bought one outside a few scratches on the plastic it works great. Not a huge fan of requiring the use of their slicer but it's based on orca and am familiar. Currently at 60+ hours of printing and I only got it online 3 days ago. Been going pretty non-stop.

I've had a Kobra S1 combo for about 6 months and it's been a good printer. I've got 700 print hours on it now. Had a hotend clog and had to take apart the extruder to clear issue (lost tiny spring) AC sent me a replacement extruder without issue but it did take 2+ weeks to receive because it came overseas to US. Also had to clear out filament shards out of ace pro AMS. Some people who have issues have never owned a 3D printer. Keep in mind that no matter if you own a Bambu (I own 3) or an AC, etc - you will have to clear hotend clogs and disassemble the AMS to clear filament shards once in awhile. I'd say I have to do it 25% less with my Bambu printers vs my AC printers. Kobra 3v2 AE combo with AMS/dryer for $225, when it is on sale, has to be one of the best deals out there. You can buy 3 of those for the price of a Bambu and Bambu isn't 2X or 3X better than AC IMHO.

I have two Kobra 3v2 combos from an AE deal about 4 months ago and already have 1300 hours on each machine. Most of the errors were due to myself, and the one or two that were poor QC Anycubic has offered to remedy, (although the heat beds have been out of stock for a very long time and they keep pushing it back a month. I was on the fence about what enclosed printer to get and decided to get a Kobra S1 combo refurbished when eBay had a 20% off deal recently. I got it for $280 which I thought was pretty good deal. I couldn't bring myself to spend $250+ more for the older P1S, or another $500+ for the P2S. You've upped my good feelings about receiving a decent Kobra S1 here in a few days.
