EDIT NOTICE: I accidentally wrote "A1 Mini" in the meme instead of just "A1" out of habit. There's no proof for the Mini to also be affected yet. My bad, sorry. It's the A1 that might burn your house down.
The mini too? Is that real?
Sorry, I think that's my bad. Made this meme between stuff and added the "mini" out of habit. Can't find any proof for it being affected as well.
Oki thx for the correction
That seems to be an isolated incident (the mini I mean)
I guess I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, I wouldn't by it again (or anything from the company), but at the time (just before the company went completely haywire) the A1 was the right machine ("just works" with decent print quality) at the right price (on sale + discount) that got me into 3D printing ... so, I "fell" for the YT marketing for sure, but I don't regret it one second ... now that I know that it's a both use- and joyful technology for me I would gladly pay for a Prusa but at the time I wouldn't have ... and I would have missed out for sure ... learned 3D modeling, manufacturing, design, skills that I wouldn't want to miss.
I guess after well over 1000h of printing I don't have to expect it to go up in flames, either ...
For completeness I should also say that I never updated the firmware and transfer data using the SD card exclusively, it's not connected to any network ... but that was my expectation to begin with, I didn't know much about 3D printing before and I thought that's how they work anyway.

That assumption can backfire awfully! Please check if your printer is affected, if so you're just lucky it didn't happen yet.
Isn't this the Fukona Shoujo machine?
It’s A1, not A1 Mini, that is prone to the issue. They have different structural designs.
I really don't advice eating 3d printers you buy online. It will be at least a bad bowl movement. At the most, you has died. A true tragedy, so do not treat as pizza or other edible delights
