I am not up to date with the mining equipment and sellers of them. Is it canaan.io legal service?
I often see advertisements for the sale of equipment, sometimes it seems very convenient. also here there are many accusations against such illegal sellers.
to me, all sellers of mining equipment look very similar, I don't know how to recognize canaan.io as legitimate.

Is it canaan.io legal service?
It depends on what perspective of legal you are looking from as China is cracking down miners so you could think that even the manufacturers might be considered illegal in China  :D

But it's legit. this guy even visited their company (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3169292.0) in China sometime back.

The scam sites are easy to identify if you do some small digging. They are usually brand new and copy paste from the genuine old suppliers. You also get to see complaints from people about being scammed by the copycat sites

Yes, canaan.io domain is legit. Their official domain Canaan-Creative.com has been registered since 2013, and when you select English on the website, you will be redirected to canaan.io.

Canaan Creative, known simply as Canaan, is a China-based computer hardware manufacturer. Established in 2013 by N.G. Zhang,[2] Canaan specializes in Blockchain servers and ASIC microprocessors for use in bitcoin mining.[3][4]
