I suggest getting the machine and grinder separately, gives you far more range and if one breaks you can keep using the other
One of those plus an Encore ESP is cheaper overall and you can use the extra to buy a tamping station and better tamp
All their machines are set to 93* C, which is a good mid point for dark and medium roast but if you are going to do light or light-med roasts you might want to play with that setting

Yes it's a Chinese brand with a some AstroTurf but for $160 bucks the machine works for me
My FIL had the Express and it makes good coffee but is not easy to dial in and requires a lot of maintenance
I found the Ultra a good starting point and if you like it and want to up your game you can go buy a more expensive machine
But with any manual machine it will come down to technique and how much you are willing to invest in learning
And FWIW, I was in the OG group of roasting beans in a popcorn machine near 20 years ago, and this machine might as well be in a coffee shop--that's how much use it gets.
So yes, absolutely buy one.
