What reviewers found

Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo

TechRadar (4.5/5): Scored 27 of 30 on a print quality test with about 0.21 mm average X/Y error. A 43 minute single color print became a 14 hour multi color print. Source
Notebookcheck: Measured 44 dB(A) at one meter. Quality was best up to about 200 mm/s, and nozzle cleaning plus purging caused significant waste. Source

Prusa Research CORE One+ INDX

TechRadar (5/5): Gave it Editor's Choice. In a head to head with the Bambu Lab H2C, the INDX produced 27 models while the H2C produced 15. Scored 27/30 on its print test suite with 0.208 mm average X and Y error. Downsides: slow recalibration and soft nozzles. Source
Tom's Hardware: Editor's Choice. A PLA dragon took 25 h 41 min with 1,646 tool changes and 18 g of waste; a PETG planter took 6 h 14 min with 6.84 g of waste. It made 83.58 g less waste than the Bambu Lab H2C on the same job. TPU prints oozed and jammed. Source
