FDM or Resin? I got a Ender 3 S1 Pro for my fdm printing and I have to fuss with it way less than other printers I've owned. Comes with all the upgrades you could want except maybe an enclosure (and the creality tent does it pretty good for cheap).
Still need to level your bed, but assembly is pretty foolproof and you don't need to fuss with much else.
There are ones that come with hard enclosures and even have beds that level themselves, but those features are very spendy.
Edit: any printer you get, you'll still need to learn to slice files in Cura or whatever, figure out when you need supports and what good settings are. But also, the new Cura has pretty good default settings for that printer.
For resin, I've never had issues with Elegoo printers. Used to have a Mars 3, upgraded to some sort of Saturn, both worked flawlessly, I just wanted to upgrade to a bigger build plate.
