What reviewers found

Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro

3DPrint.com: A full volume ASA print took 24 h 44 min with no warping and a 100 mm cube measured 99.70 x 99.71 x 100.02 mm. Measured 68 dB average and 79 dB max. Ran with 100% uptime over a month; TPU needed 30 to 40 mm/s. Source
3Dnatives (9.5/10): Scored 9.5/10 with 10/10 for print quality. Auto calibration took about 15 minutes with no manual input. Cons were a confusing slicer transition, small build volume, no multi material and a rear mounted spool. Source

Prusa Research Original Prusa MINI+

Tom's Hardware: Called it professional quality on a small scale and good for newcomers. A torture test model ran over 20 hours without problems; print issues traced back to damp filament. Source
All3DP: Called it an easy recommendation with exceptional print quality and a great interface. Cons were Bowden extruder problems, no carry handle and Wi-Fi not yet available at review time. Source
