The article does complain about lack of uniformed information about the printers, then advertise their search feature and then their shop. They seem to have inserted a lot of metadata about printers, but actually you can't search for those.
There's something fundamentally wrong with how the market of low cost 3d printers evolved. 3D printers are a great tool but they are often advertised as a plug and play device that can produce anything in plastic at no hassle. But (most of) the machines aren't that advanced or that complex already. there are just too many variables that will go wrong, examples being diameter difference and composition differences on filaments, ambient temperature and humidity.
What vendors can do at the moment is keeping the hassle for the customers at a minimum by supplying well working machines or kits. But that is a measurement that is extremely hard to measure.
