where as boiler machine heats up a pot of water. so it requires more energy, and therefor time.
but thermoblock has its issues, lots of issues if you aim for perfection: the temperature coming out of the thermoblock is inversely proportional to the speed of the flow. if you have a perfect flow, e,g, around 27 seconds for 1:2 ratio, then it works wonders, but if you flow differs, say it is bit too fast, then not only you take the penalty of under extraction due to fast flow, but also much lower temperature. so instead of be able to fix two variables out of three (grind size, temperature, time) and fine tune your drink one variable at a time, you are now moving two variables at the same time. this is extremely hard to do if you want consistent good taste of light roast coffee.
you don't have to take my word for it, got yourself a thermometer and test the water out of the Bambino (or anyother thermoblock machine), turn it on and just see the number jumps from 95 to 80 in no time. you would be lucky to have 15ml of water at desired temperature before it fluctuates
i personally have/had espresso machine priced from 200 dollar to 4000 dollars, i think the single most improvement one can do as far as espresso machine is concerned is to move to dual boiler with PID (so you do milk based drink much faster and better). but this been a HX at this price is probably as good as it goes. i won't mind getting it if i were to throw away my current setup

These semi-automatic machines are not for everyone. Major part of the hobby, imho, is enjoying the process of turning beans into your cup of espresso or latte. It's a time consuming process, and takes me extra 10-15 mins every morning to get me my first morning caffeine dose. I could also just grab free pod coffee at my work, but that's a different experience from making my espresso shots at home. You can find something more convenient that is equally drinkable from one of the fastest way to do it in the market using Nepresso Vertuo machines (in exchange for expensive pods and wasting extra plastics), or as mentioned a Bambino.
You don't need a $1000 machine to make good espresso, but you do need to pay up for good steaming power. If this thing can steam milk well, and not break down, I think it's a good deal. Unfortunately it's hard to determine that without customer reviews. It's a gamble.
With the profiling additions and ability to swap and customize shot profiles and everything it's pretty powerful. My favorite feature might actually be the steam power via pulsing the pump and controlling temp. It makes for a really fully featured compact machine. Also a fun project to build if you're in to that sort of thing.
My Bambino+ is okay but I wish it did better with light roast
