It’s a bummer they haven’t put wifi into this. Everything else seems too good to be true.
It’s apparently pretty simple to add a USB WiFi dongle, you just have to configure it over SSH
I am an Elegoo user. Mars 2 Pro, Saturn 8k and a Neptune 3 plus. My anecdotal limited set of experience they just work.

Recently bought one. Taking fuck long to ship
Yup, I’ve got a 3 pro - stupid easy to get set up and get pretty good results
Phew, after having tried some cheap printers, I don’t think I’d ever recommend one again without the caveat “you may get lucky, you may not. If you want a tinkering project they’ll be great, if you want a printer, they may be good.”
Last one I had had the heater cartridge die, the leveling sensor die and be too stupid to properly communicate via USB (a typo in the protocol meant that Octoprint was waiting for receive-confirmations). Together with terrible support which took literally the whole month I had the thing, to answer about the first issue (and not actually help).
Maybe Elegoo is better, but I doubt it.
Also, I’m not conviced of the Aluminium-profile+wheel guiding system.
So far all my printers are elegoo, they all work out of the box very well. They’re support is pretty great as well, they’ve sent me replacement parts for things I admitted to breaking due to own stupidity (a new motherboard after I short circuited one, and a couple of led panels after a resin spill). I can’t speak of other companies, but elegoo seems alright
