Yeah I got this when it came around last time for $85. It is actually pretty good. Some thoughts:
No heated bed -- this means you can only print PLA and bed adhesion is sometimes an issue -- you will want to print rafts or use a gluestick
Line the bed with blue painter's tape -- it comes with masking tape but only two pieces
It is small but you can print most things on it 100x100x110 is like a 4 inch cube
It is a rebranded Weedo TINA2 -- you can flash that firmware on it without an issue
You want to get a spool holder (like those stands with rollers on them) because the spool holder is pathetic
When you get a spool of filament -- DO NOT LET THE LOOSE END FREE it will spin around and tangle up. Hold the end or stick it in the side or tape it or something if it is not in the extrude -- trust me on this
The bed auto-level is pretty awesome
It is pretty much plug-and-play -- get some STL files on thingverse and slice them with the included cura software and put it on the SD card and print -- easy peasy
Used BIG30 and added 3 kg filament and it came out to $100 total, $63 for the printer, $7 shipping and $10 per kg of filament

In original post it shows build volume to be 39 x 41 x 39 inches. Correction, actual build volume is 3.9 x 4.1 x 3.9 inches. Slight difference from what is posted. 🤣
I never 3D printed anything before and I got one and printed a little cat statue from thingverse within a couple hours of taking it out of the box. So unless you are much stupider than me (probably not) or it arrives broken, you can do it.
Thanks for answering my questions. One of my favorite purchases this year. Was able to fix a broken printer (gear broke, HP said they don't sell parts but they'll give me discount on another printer), magesafe mount for my car, currently printing some wall hooks for my closet. I can't imagine not having a 3d printer in the future. Nice to be able to print random/custom things on the fly.
