After hearing from an acquaintance that creality is good now (he specifically said that this model prints flawlessly, and he bought 10 of them), I've obtained one as well. It's shit, like, actually bad, no other words. Print quality is average at best; it can't heat the bed evenly. I needed to level it manually, and it still prints worse than an average bedslinger from 3 years ago. Print bed coating is very sensitive to dirt and dust and already breaks off. Even when it prints (and every second print fails), I can't leave it alone because it's just that unreliable. I don't think that I had such a frustrating experience with a printer after anet a8. Sadly I can't give it back. Should have gone with Sovol.

// Person that recommended it to me finally showed how it 'flawlessly' prints yesterday, essentially it's no different.
