The implication of your comment is that the description/review/opinions expressed by Ben in that video were inaccurate due to having received the printer for free. Is that what you're suggesting?

Generally an ad represents a product in its most flattering light rather than an even-handed evaluation of its features pro and con. That's why.
It being an ad does not imply that it's a lie.
In fact historically lieing in an ad could get you lawsuits or FTC complaints. I know creatives at agencies who would have to go through legal review to ensure every factual claim they made was true.
