Anything in that price range will be fiddly. You can spend a little more (eg. Bambu, Prusa) and gain reliability and support. But I've used $200 Enders and $50,000 commercially maintained Stratasys Fortus machines and aside from printing ABS and dissolvable support material, my cheap hand-tuned POS outperforms it in every regard. We just replaced the Fortus with a couple Utilimaker S7s at work and I'm still watching mechanical engineers print spaghetti at least once a week.
