I'm running 1.0.6 apparently. It simply didn't occur to me to update it, since it's not connected to the internet and worked fine out of the box for me.
I'd consider the performance quite good given the low price. Sure there are faster printers out there, but with the default profile in orca slicer it can do a benchy in ~50 minutes which is good enough for me. And quality wise the prints seem to be on par with what other people are producing with much more expensive printers.
What's missing are some comfort features: no runout sensor, no failed print detection and no network connectivity mean that printing is a relatively manual process and it's "risky" to do long prints unsupervised, because this thing will happily produce spaghetti until the gcode is done.
Keep in mind that this post is by a company that offers one of the options they compare. So there is an obvious conflict of interest, and I wouldn't trust the conclusions that were reached
