| Print speed | Up to 130 mm/h with standard resin, 170 mm/h with high speed resin at 0.1 mm layers (Anycubic) | Up to 500 mm/s (Creality); All3DP says about 300 mm/s is typical |
| Multi color | No, resin printer prints one resin at a time | Yes, 4 colors with the included CFS, up to 16 with four chained units (Creality); single nozzle, so it purges on each swap |
| Enclosure | Yes, UV blocking cover (resin printer); TechRadar notes it lifts off and Basic Tutorials found it wobbles slightly | No, open bed slinger; All3DP notes a covered design that hides moving parts |

| Noise | No dB figure; TechRadar describes a subdued low hum, quieter than many mid range models | Quiet in standard mode, louder in ultra fast mode, and the metal purge wiper is loud (Tom's Hardware) |

| Weight | 12.8 kg; 312 x 315 x 520 mm (Anycubic) | 11.58 kg; 409 x 392 x 477 mm without CFS (Tom's Hardware); over 700 mm wide with the CFS beside it (All3DP) |

What reviewers found
Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Pro
- TechRadar (4.5/5): Scored 4.5 out of 5. High speed resin printed at 170 mm/h versus 130 mm/h on the previous model, and the clean function cleared about 80% of failures. Needed re leveling after about 4 kg of resin; auto refill tapered off below half a bottle. Source
- Basic Tutorials (91/100): Scored 91 with a Gold award. A print that takes about half a day on an FDM printer finished in under an hour with high speed resin, and it handled an 80 degree overhang. Supports sometimes failed to stick on flat areas and the touchscreen and software had flaws. Source
Creality Hi Combo
- Tom's Hardware: Benchy in 32 min 33 s at standard settings with no ringing. A 4 color PETG fairy door used 32.32 g of filament and wasted 23.25 g in purge. A 2 color PLA fidget took 9 h 20 min with 0.64 g waste. Could not print TPU. Source
- All3DP: Called it a by the books single nozzle multicolor printer worth the price, with early adopter caveats. A multicolor test took just over 10 hours and about 260 g of filament, where a Prusa MK4 with MMU3 used under half the filament. Saw clogs, firmware bugs and limited third party filament support.
