What customers say
The Robo R2 garnered initial praise for its modern design and ambitious feature set, including WiFi and a large touchscreen. However, customer sentiment quickly soured due to significant reliability concerns. Users frequently reported frustrating software bugs and inconsistent performance, particularly with the automatic bed leveling system. This lack of dependable operation severely undermined the printer's intended ease of use, requiring extensive troubleshooting and ultimately reducing the perceived value despite the high quality components.
