I am pondering about buying a Creality Ender-3, and I am honestly confused about some reviews. Some claim it is running 24 V, one did claim it was 12 V, most don't mention it. Since I know about some issues with the clamps, if I get myself an Ender-3, I want to replace the hotend with a proper one from day one. So knowing its voltage is needed to order the right parts.

Bearing in mind that the specifications on Amazon's page are sometimes not 100% (even though they are in this case), it is always best to check on the manufacturer's website.
From Creality3D's own website, Creality3D.shop, on the Creality3D Ender-3 product page, Creality3D Ender-3 3D Printer Economic Ender DIY KITS, the specifications are given as (emphasis is mine):

4$\begingroup$ Attention! Creality3d.shop is not the real shop creality3donline.com is the real online store. this information appears correct though, as it's probably just ripped from the official online store. $\endgroup$– NillocJan 24, 2019 at 19:05

After checking the amazon listings of the ender-3, they contain more information than the gearbest listing: indeed it is a 24V machine.

The Ender 3 and the CR-10 printers use the same board which runs on both 12V and 24V. I have one of each and have to be careful swapping parts between the two.

$\begingroup$ Really? That is very interesting to know. Please see What specifications of the dual voltage controller of the Ender 3/CR-10? $\endgroup$– Greenonline ♦Aug 1, 2018 at 5:53
