Q1 pro has a filament wiper and a poop trashcan that you need to empty. You'll do fine using them, they're a great tool to use as a beginner, just get "quirks" that someone that googles can solve. For the x-plus for instance, the nozzle fan only blows from one direction so you need to print out a two directional one for better printing stability. Honestly, it was my first printer and I did great with it.
