I've been printing for 3 months so far, mostly without a problem.
For the price, it is a pretty solid piece of technology, despite the fact that I was worried at first if it wasn't just a cheap machine.
300mm^3 is a very flexible print area size
I was able to solve all the technical problems, thanks to the community.
The only complaint I have so far is the strangeness of the pad sag. Compared to Průša printers, for example, there is a system of fixing/balancing springs. These are there to keep (according to a long search) the pad from deflating in the middle after a long time. But the opposite is true. I've spent several hours straightening the pad, but I'm absolutely convinced that for some reason the center is slightly sunken. Not really, but when you have all the corners perfectly the same, the filament looks identical and then in the middle completely different, then something is wrong, maybe a mistake on my part.
It's slightly louder, but it's easy to fall asleep to: )

My wife and I bought the S1 Plus as our first 3D printer after many years of thinking that we could use something like it. Creality's printers have a large community, a good name, and cost half what Prusa costs, where you pay extra for top-notch support and overall printer workmanship. You can find thousands and thousands of different ready-made models on the Internet (regardless of the type of printer), which you can simply set up on your PC for your printer in software that you can download for free from the manufacturer's website.
It is definitely still a hobby for the masses - you need to study articles and watch videos before you start your first print. Just aligning the print area is quite magical if you've never done it before, even though this printer does it to some extent on its own.
On the internet, people sometimes complain that their printer arrived with dropped or unfinished parts that they had to put back on (which you can't read in the manual), but we didn't have this problem. For the price, it's a great piece and if you're seeing something like this for the first time, within a few days your workspace will be filled with a bunch of miscellaneous crap and probably an even bigger pile of failed prints, but that's just part of it.
We have a bit of a problem with the finished product peeling off the print pad. We don't know what we're doing wrong, but something clearly is. The supplied scraper just manages to scrape the board, but from what we've searched online, dental floss works quite well - you wrap it around the base of the printout and scrub like a saw.
We had only one major problem with the S1 Plus - it kept making horrible noises when turned on, which I eventually traced to the fan on the motherboard. Since I didn't want to pack the whole printer again and send it back to Alza, I disassembled the bottom (a five-minute job, it's only held by screws, no need to even pry any plastic like with laptops) and at first glance it was obvious that the fan cable had gotten between its ribs. As soon as I straightened it back to the position intended by the manufacturer and closed the printer again, the problem was over. Apparently, something got knocked out somewhere along the China - Alza - home route; I guess it can happen.
Large print area
8GB memory and small white filament in the basic equipment
Incredibly addictive activity: )
We have trouble getting the printed stuff off the backing, but that's more due to our inexperience.

Very quickly ready to print within an hour tested, calibrated and I immediately entrusted it with a 20h print. Incredibly quiet! you can hear it all over the house, this is heaven and earth, you can only hear the cooling fan. The supplied magnetic sheet is nice, but not suitable for printing small PLA pieces, you will never remove the filament residue from the sheet. It is better to print on a mirror, or buy a smooth backing, or try to turn the plate and print on the other smooth side (I have not tried). The supplied SD card went away immediately and the card reader is also from the cheap end but that's not the printer's problem. It's got a few bugs, but for the money it's really cool. Even a skilled beginner can handle it and won't be disappointed that something doesn't work.

Incredibly quiet
larger print area
The only thing I miss is the ability to adjust the filament flow during printing, a feature that can come in handy.
weaker print bed springs. They'll want to put stronger.
and bullshit that's not even worth dealing with
