Which reviewers will you be looking forward to

A few assumptions here.

Given that its very likely that Bambu have sent review printers out in the past few months and assuming that there is a review embargo until 25th.

Which reviews are you looking forward to, for myself it will be
Toms Hardware,
Makers Muse,
Made with layers (Thomas sanladerer)
Teaching Tech

“mpox-de”, “teching tech” and “my tech fun”.

The last three on your list are pretty much on mine as well. However, I would also add Loyal Moses, Clough42, and Len Dizzle. Moses, because he has a real hatred for Bambu and will definitely find their weaknesses. He balances out the Pollyannas like Teaching Tech, whose tutorial videos I consider best in class, but whose product reviews feel completely watered down. He reminds me of a politician in how he presents manufacturers—he makes it seem like he’s being open and critical, but in reality, he pulls his punches.

The one I would disqualify as just parroting manufacturer marketing is Aurora Tech. Her videos are not only unpolished, but they also lack rigor and critical thinking. I have her blocked for that reason—there’s already enough noise on YouTube.

The other guy that has gone onto my Bought-And-Paid-For-Shill list is CNC kitchen. The guy is all about sponsorships and although I love his tech videos, when it comes to his reviews, they are worthless by most accounts. Thomas Sanladerer of MadeWithLayers better be careful because it’s clear he is trying to follow in CNC’s foot steps.

Aurora Tech 100% all the way. She’s the absolute best most objective systematic reviewer that I’m aware of.

Clough42 is also great.

I’ll also check out 3D printing nerd.

Who I absolutely will not check out is the next layer. Can’t stand that channel.

Teaching Tech, Makers Muse (if he makes one), and I haven’t heard of Aroura before so I’ll check her out too

This is the strongest I’ve ever disagreed with a comment on the Bambu Forums lol.

I see you like Aurora Tech as well

Does this quote by Olias make any sense to you whatsoever?

Im not a fan either. The content is decent but the monotone delivery while reading from prompt is not pleasant to my ears.

If you need your tech reviews to be pretty and flashy then that’s fine. But to imply that her reviews lack rigor and critical thinking is just about the most absurd thing I’ve read all week. She’s extremely systematic with her reviews. She puts every printer through the same tests and compares the results to other printers she reviewed. She also starts each video with an introduction that lists just about ALL key features of the machine as well as what to expect when unboxing. She is the definition of rigorous.

I dont need flash, but i prefer rigor such as from CNCkitchen, German rigor! LOL

Hers reviews are like a high school science project, I mean great for her but its just not my style. I dont want specs read to me, I want technical testing.

At the end of the day its nice we have lots of reviewers with different styles, its good we have choice in this day of youtube.

I’m just gonna buy the printer regardless, so I think the reviewer I’m looking forward to most will be me, when I unbox it. :smiley:
