3D printer noob needs advice

So I'm looking to get into 3D printing, but I have had really bad luck with the Ender series coming with multiple pieces busted each time it's been shipped so I've just about given up on them. I have a budget of about 1200 and am looking for something relatively high quality. I had wanted to get the Bambulabs X1C but I'm being told that it's a really bad idea so I wanted to get the opinions of a broader and more informed group!
