What are your goals? Do you want it to just work (and be more expensive) or do you mind tinkering with it (and it being cheaper)? Do you want to print fast (more expensive) or is slower ok (and cheaper)?

Personally, I wanted cheaper and medium functionality. I don’t want a pure-tinker situation (no voron or ender 3), but I don’t wanna pay for Bambu features or Prusa features/quality. I went with Sovol SV06 Plus. It’s a 4/5 *'s printer for me. I don’t think I like the volcano style hotend, it’s too stringy for me, but I like the big build area. The filament runout sensor location is a poor design decision, but that’s easily fixed with a 15 min print. There’s something with the ABL that I’ve not fully figured out (perfect in center, but worse the further it gets away from center), but it might be twist in the X gantry. I’ve read reports on that, but haven’t verified it on my machine. (I solved that by printing fat 1st layers, 0.6mm width on a 0.4mm nozzle.)

Sovol or machines like it are good for mid-range, IMO.

Ender 3 v3 KE has everything you’d want

Or Bambu A1 mini lose surface but get to steer it from your phone

I would say it depends on where you get joy from in the hobby. I like working on my printer and making it better, so I’d buy a low end model and upgrade it. If that’s not your jam, I would recommend a Prusa or Bambu. I have no experience with them, but I hear good things. I bought a biqu B1 and added upgrades myself. I’ve had days where I wanna pull my hair out, but I have somehow enjoyed the challenge.

I have a Elegoo and I really love it. Going 2 years and no problems, didn’t even change the fep yet

My Sovol SV07 stopped extruding and I wasn’t able to fix it.
