Had mine for about 3 months so far, and it’s working great. The first benchy out of the box printed perfect, but the next larger print wasn’t sticking to the bed. That was easily fixed by scrubbing the bed sheet with a scotch-brite pad and lots of soap. The sheet it comes with has white grid lines painted on that tend to flake off and stick to the print, which doesn’t look that great with darker filaments. Replaced it with a blank sheet from Amazon. I also installed Klipper, which made it a lot nicer: https://github.com/bassamanator/Sovol-SV06-firmware
