Does anyone have any experience with the Snapmaker 3-in-1 printer?

Although I do not have experience with this, the review at https://all3dp.com/1/snapmaker-3d-printer-review/ seems very interesting. Let me know if you go forward with this product.
Looks pretty interesting and well built. Too small a build area for me though and the laser is only 200mW although it looks like there is a 1.6W upgrade that you can buy. I like that you can buy an enclosure for it. For printing and engraving the 125 x 125 x 125 mm area would probably work for a lot of stuff but 90 x 90 x 50 mm for CNC would really limit it. I'm sure it would work well for a lot of folks.
I haven't seen this machine operate, but it seems you would need to have a lot of very small parts to make before it would be justified.
The drawbacks would be it is very noisy, has a very small working envelope and its 3D CNC capabilities are not fully developed.
For me, if I was 3D printing, I would use a different printer. If I was laser engraving, I would like a larger working space for front panel engraving etc. If I was using CNC I would want a larger working envelope and I would want to be sure it could accurately drill a pattern of holes, including small PCB vias.
An interesting machine none-the-less. (They do make a larger one as well of course)
