I got an old cr-10 from a friend, and yes, the software and screen have their issues. But, the thing is a workhorse. At one point I had it working almost non stop, creating thousands of prints, and it handled it like a champ. This is an old printer... I don't know how things have changed since, but I wouldn't blanket discount Creality. I'll say this: based on my somewhat limited experience, any printer will work great out of the box. It's keeping it that way that becomes challenging over time.
If any printer will work great out of the box, any printer is not Creality, because it certainly hasn't ever worked great.
