I tried one a few weeks ago, its really good for the price (400 bucks) . Its for people who want to print things, and not focus on maintaining and tweaking the printer itself.

That looks like a great machine. I have read good things about Bambu. All of those advanced features are becoming more affordable every day.
It looks like something out of a '70s Sci-Fi movie.

Part of me tugs against it. Not a "good" part. Any new car is 500% more reliable than a Fiero, but here I am.
Than again, I couldn't afford a modern sports car that I would want to be sitting in. Just as I have suggested cheap 3D printers to get tinkerers to dip their toe in the hobby. Get used to "the process", and perhaps to appreciate a better printer when it comes along. Some of the more advanced features and such... I dunno.
Things like the ten second nozzle swap are pretty sweet. Haven't looked at the price for that, but I'm sure its more reasonable that the (poorly named) Makerbot 250 buck "Smart" Extruder...
Time to make the donuts.

Coincidentally, I've been watching YouTube videos of the Bambu printers the past few days and I'm really impressed with them. I now have the Ender 3 Max with a few mods (dual Z-axis, direct drive extruder) and I'm really, really happy with the quality but the only downside is the long printing times. The Bambu printers are crazy fast without sacrificing print quality and they have some really nice features (cloud printing, camera, etc).
But... They are expensive. Don't get me wrong, they offer great value for the money but they are simply a bit out of my budget - just for faster printing.

On my printer I have a strain relief arm that swings out from under the heat bed to support the cable. I'm kind of amazed they don't have one on the Bambu printers.
