If you have a microcenter nearby they sell 3d printers, you can go see them run and take one home. I’m extremely pleased with the Ender 3 V2 from Creality, especially for the price. It makes some fan noise but the steppers are very quiet which is nice. I haven’t had any issues with print quality and overall the build seems solid. If you’re thinking about running OctoPrint check my question in here for what appears to be some good advice. All that said, Prusa seems to be the benchmark.
