Lulzbot Mini - It's been great to learning with, and has reliably printed for thousands of hours now!
Prusa MK4 and Bambu X1 Carbon. Both are amazing in their own right.
I have a elegoo centauri, flash forge ad5m and a older printer I can not even remember the name of. Let me tell you. The centauri is fantastic. The amount of printer you get for less than 300 is amazing.

Recently got a Elegoo Centauri Carbon. Amazing printer for under $300.
The two downsides for me: you cannot set an ip address for it from the printer itself (only DHCP) andā¦ you have to be diligent in loading the filament, which is something you learn as you stumble a bit. But Iām pretty happy with it and thinking about getting a second one as Iām going through a Gridfinity phase

I have a creality ender 3 s1 pro that has served me pretty well now for many years. Not very fancy by modern standards, but it is very capable of printing some more exotic stuff for some mechanical prototypes that need a bit of extra durability or any other filament concerns that come up from my customers. Granted things like carbon fiber reinforced nylons and teflons is more about other things besides the printer to ensure success, but it hasnāt let me down yet.
Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo - basic - cheap - good 
It has auto-level and print well out-of-the-box. PLA with no probs, for PETG I needed profiles, my own made with LLM were abyssal.
It has only USB-C seriall and SD-card reader, but itās trivial to make them work wireless with ESP32-based dongle.
I love it!
I also have a Elegoo Centauri Carbon, itās my very first 3d printer. Iāve had it since it came out and have around 250 hours of printing time on it. Iāve just had to lube it once with white lithium grease but its been rock solid. I have been eyeing the Snapmaker U1 but $850 is a bit much, true multi-color printing would be awesome.

I just got a Bamboo P2S (my Centauri Carbon is down and parts will take a month, long story). Other than the Centauri being down I got it to be able to have 2 printers going on at the same time and to have automatic filament replacement, especially for those long nightly prints.
Both the Centauri and the P2S are a fair value at their price points, though I think Bambu has a 15-20% premium, kinda like apple does. I like them both.
If I were to have only one it would be a tough choice. The Centauri gets me all I need. The P2S adds a few nice quality of life features, but for a price.

I have a Bambu A1 with AMS. Itās probably one of the least exciting in the list, but it is easy to use. My kids like it. My wife has printed more things than I have, and in more colors that I expected sheād go for. She is currently printing multi-color bookmarks that can be mailed to random family members as a simple thinking-of-you type Christmas gifts. Overall it works quite well for us.
