I’m new to 3D printing and I’m considering either the tronxy x5s 400 or the Alfawise u10. I’m aware that they each have their own issues but for a begginer which one would be better?

I believe the Alfawise is less of a kit than the TronXY, so if it’s between those two I’d go with that one.

If you can do with a smaller build volume I’m personally a fan of the Ender 3 (mine is currently in the middle of a 27+ hour print)

Thanks for the advise. Im actually looking for a larger build volume. I was recently gifted a printbot smalls that came to me with no instructions and all the parts in a 1 gallon ziploc bag. I managed to get it together in about 6 hrs of tinkering. It was a pain so I’m learning more towards the alfawise as well but the fact that the build plate moves so much was pushing me towards the Tronxy. Is the Tronxy style frame that just lowers the bed that much better than styles like the alfawise?
