I'm thinking of entering this world for the first time, and I was wondering if there are any models that you feel you would particularly recommend, thanks to anyone who would like to share their experience!

The Prusa One and Bamboo X1 are very equivalent printers: both are high print quality, low intervention crazy fast, and more beginner friendly than anything that has come before. The Bamboo will (currently) do better with multicolor (with an addon unit) and Prusa is more trusted (there's a threat that Bamboo will go closed-ecosystem).

I'd recommend watching some of the reviews from bigger names in the 3D printing world. I don't remember who specifically has done reviews and comparisons of the two, but safe bets are Thomas Sanladerer / Made With Layers, CNC Kitchen, and 3D Printing Nerd.
