For anyone looking to get into coffee roasting. I HIGHLY recommend this machine for value to performance. I also HIGHLY encourage you to pay the extra and get the extension tube for it for extra $60 (normally $79). Using the extension has halved my time to roast allowing me to roast about 2lbs per hour now. Previously, it was would take ~2 hours to roast the same 2lbs.
With the extension tube the machine can

A popcorn popper is a great low-investment introduction to home coffee roasting but this is definitely a step up.

If you want to do easy DIY and have a camp stove, the whirly pop is a good option. The steel one would be better than the aluminum one, but costs more. For a bit more effort, the breadmaker is a good option. Assuming you get the breadmaker cheap at a thrift store, a good heat gun will cost $25-$40. I use the Porter Cable model.
How you actively cool the beans is a whole other element. For a while, I just poured them between two metal colanders, sometimes in front of a room fan. Eventually I made a setup from a 5 gal. Home Depot bucket with a flat, perforated steel basket a few inches from the top, and a shop vac. sucking air from a hole below while I stir the beans by hand until cool. (This is similar to how professional setups function.)
Having been through all that, I'd say that a turnkey product like this listing for $169 is probably a good value if it works well. I've probably spent close to that with all my DYI projects, but it was fun.
Finally, please roast outside in a well ventilated area! The chemicals given off during the roasting process are bad for you to breathe. Enjoy!
PS. If anyone in the San Diego area would like my rotisserie roaster contraption, I'd be happy to pass it on.
That's the green beans I'm buying next from them.

With the extension tube it's a beast and can do 8. Without the tube yes it's 4
For anyone looking to start, I'd just get a Whirley Pop and a thermometer and roast on a stove top (I do it on my gas grill + stove in the backyard). Put the money saved towards a Behmor or a Bullet if it's something you'd like to continue doing.
Not an expert on the subject but my understanding is.the fumes from coffee roasting can be toxic and carcinogenic. Definitely do it in a well ventilated area and take whatever precaution you want to reduce breathing in the fumes directly.

Lots of old articles out there on how to make your own.
I've been roasting coffee since 2004.
There is a new roaster on aliexpress from china getting rave reviews. Skywalker roaster. It's a barrell roaster, v1 can be modified to use Artisan software, v2 thats in the works should be capable of Artisan out of the box. Artisan is a software that controls the roaster to follow a recipe basically, gives you replicable roasts.
If you wanna just try out, then fluid bed roasters are fine. But if you plan on using it a lot, just go w the skywalker imo for a lil bit more.
As someone relatively new to the coffee journey, for now, I think staying with various boutique roasters and getting their roasted coffee is a good fit for me. I am still mastering proper grinding, creating the perfect puck and extraction.
I did read elsewhere that roasting beans inside the house leaves a bad smoky smell for days, can anyone confirm?

If you're just starting, start with the popcorn popper. If you like the process and product, you can get better equipment. If you don't, you're out $10.
