I have an Anet A6 and I wouldn't really recommend it anymore as there are much better alternatives now. One of the guys I work with just bought an Ender...

I tie occasionally, but not enough to be worth the trouble to ship some loose hair. As said above, loose hair is a pain to work with. Much nicer when...
