DjvinxDjvinx: I received my LK4 last week and took the time to build it yesterday.
Using a touch screen is by far easier than buttons or rotary knob.
I ain't novice at 3D printing and let me tell you, this is a solid, stiff and well build machine.
My first printer was an Anet A8. I have used Creality and Anycubic printers and the LK4 is great capable printer.
If you are a beginer or intermediate hobbyist, you will be happy with this printer!

White Spruce TechWhite Spruce Tech: The media could not be loaded. About a year after I started using this printer the hotbed failed. If you have an older printer, you should check your connections to make sure they are not getting hot. The good news is that you can get a replacement from Longer AND that replacement is much more robust than the original. In fact, the Longer build quality is superior to many other printers out there. Before you buy an Ender, look at images of their motherboard and see the gauge of their wires and connector type. There are pictures of my failed connector and the Longer replacement.
More good news is that Longer now has a US-based warehouse. My new motherboard shipped across the country in 3 days.
If you are considering purchasing a 3D printer, keeping it working is important. Not only is this printer easy to upgrade with parts you can print yourself but you can get quality support and replacement parts from the manufacturer. Instead of replacing models of printers, they are just making the ones they produce better. A year after I bought it, I have a much better printer than I started with!

Review: It is very hard to get set up. The instructions just show pictures. It is better to look up on youtube how other people put them together. I found out afterward that their is a manual and video on the SD card. It was a bit better but still youtube was a much bigger help. Like other have said it comes with an old version of Cura software with a profile. I downloaded the newest software and it is a big learning curve without a profile to go off of. The old profile doesn't import into the new Cura. The SD card has some errors which windows fixed. I am not sure if I lost any data form the card. I have problems with the touch screen all the time. I had it working through the USB cord for printing but it suddenly stopped. I am not sure if it is the software,driver or machine. It prints reliably through the sd card, which I wish was on the front. I am tempted to take the touch screen an attach it to the back so I can easily access the sd card.
That said I still think it is a great value for the money. I got this for $160. The performance when printing is good. I had some issues with profiles and printing options but that has nothing to do with the machine itself. I printed a few...

SYMSYM: This printer is an upgrade of Ender 3 pro in my opinion.
1. Design is clean
2. Comes with glass bed and rough surface sticker sticked on other side of the glass.
3. Touchscreen LCD Full Color
4. Heat Bed with Plugs! Thats right~ its replaceable (thats where it got me hooked)
5. 24V PSU (PLA - 2 min, havent tried others-- leave comment or question and I'll answer)
6. Filament Sensor - This is just something you have to buy for Ender 3 and pro
Now with all that said is the feature itself is better than Ender 3 and pro.
7. Cheaper and comes with glass bed...how is that possible? Answer: this is a sweet deal
The cons or things you need to fix:
1. Short Leg (one of the four leg came shorter and I had to stick something in there [See image])
[My alternative solution: I will be enclosing this 3D Printer soon so I will be removing the legs and taking the PSU, Motherboard, and maybe touchscreen outside of the enclosure.
2. Noisy (Yes it is noisy like any other printer but this seems more noisy imo but this was something I already knew)
[Solution: Gen L board with TMC or SKR with TMC. You can also get dampers and put them between the motor and...
