Maybe I was lucky with mine 🤷♂️ which model have you tried, and how long ago was it? Mine is only a year old
I literally run a 3D printer repair shop. Every model. They're one of the most frequently seen machines, despite being waaaaaay less popular than the Creality Ender 3. (And honestly, the 3v3 SE is a pretty solid machine now)
Their new line has gotten a lot better, but their support is still difficult to get the correct parts from when things go wrong. And I have to reiterate, their resin machines are amazing. I don't know how they get FDM machines so wrong, because their resin machines are great.
Elegoo Neptune 3/4 are great and a great value though if you desire speed and reliability.
Yeah then it sounds like I was lucky with mine then. I only needed their support once when I just got the machine. I had a defective Y-stepper (working, but making weird noises), but they were quick and i had the correct replacement motor within a week. A friend of mine had the previous generation of mine, and he has basically no original parts left aside from the frame and belts.
