Will Wright’s take

Based on the specs and price

Hard to recommend

“A lovely little printer that's priced against much newer machines.”

It's open-source, reliable and easy to repair, which I respect. But for $549 you can get an enclosed CoreXY today, and the MINI+ is a 2020 design with a small bed and no multi-colour. Buy it if you specifically want Prusa's ecosystem in a small package.
