I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

When buying, you need to be ready to print every day. According to the older models of this line, there is information that the head seriously dries up in a week, and even the paint flows from the heads after a month of inactivity. (I add: I didn’t print for three days, I didn’t notice any negative effects)
By the way, the kit comes with an orange piston, which carries out the initial pumping of ink through the tubes. It's written to throw it away. I didn't throw it away, I flushed it and set it aside, because I can't imagine how else it would be possible to bleed the system if something happened.
There are printheads for it on sale, and it’s not very expensive, when the warranty runs out I’ll buy it in reserve. There are opinions that the heads do not have a very large resource here.
If your photos print terribly slowly, uncheck the "maximum resolution" print settings. Compared to the "high" quality, I do not notice a visual difference, and the print time is reduced by three times.

I will add a review. It was put into operation in November 2022, if something happens to it, I will definitely write (and if I don’t write, then it still works).

A word of advice - do not fill the ink bottles to the top, the ink can degrade in the light, besides, if you get it replaced under warranty, then you will have more ink bottles with you.
Impressions for a week of operation are only positive. I took it for myself for small volumes of printing, of course, a printer with refillable cartridges would be better, but I don’t see such for sale.

Pros

For the first week, not a single failure. I will continue to add as much as possible. The covers of the paper acceptor are very well thought out - when it is closed, dust does not enter the printer through this place. A narrow anterior slit helps to achieve the same goal. And dust is one of the enemies of inkjet heads. Photo printing is top notch. Not perfect, but more than satisfying. The print speed is medium quality and quite fast. Very quiet printing. The old epson was bad with this. Well, I like the design, the CISS looks great.

Cons

During the day of inactivity, the heads dry up. The first sheet of text may come out striped, then the heads are printed. When printing high quality photos, this is not noticeable without viewing, but it is also there. After being sent for printing, the first sheet starts printing only after 40 seconds, and if this is also the first start of the day, then for another 30 seconds it will wipe the heads. The power supply rumbles inside when you touch the power cord. It doesn't seem to be screwed on. But - it does not affect the flight. For some, it will be a minus that after the first refueling, the printer cannot actually be transported - strictly horizontally, which is usually impossible. I add: paper reception does not work well. Almost every third photo paper 10x15 refuses to be loaded without pushing by hand. A4 office sheets, if you don’t tear them apart with your hands, then in general every second one doesn’t stop by. In addition, the paper feed rubber rollers leave very noticeable marks on the photo if they are not tightened the first time. And the worst, thick photo paper at the exit from the printer rests against the upper edge of the exit slot, and straightens with a click, while it turns a little and the end of the photo turns out to be shifted on the printout (checked - the covers are normally closed). The defect is shown in the second illustration. It's just terrible - a miscalculation of a body element in a printer for 7-10 thousand. You can fix it with any with adhesive tape, but I figured out how to fix the paper feed, but do you want this from a printer positioned as "set and print"?
