So TB, if money was no object .. would you prefer the Anet A8, or this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XDFQ3LR/
I find a lot of conflicting information, and I am leaning toward the A8 not because of cost, but because of the giant knowledge base for Prusa clones..
I'm assuming this is your first 3d printer, as you're looking budget end.
For that reason alone, I'd recommend the Anet A8 (or other clones).
It has its issues, sure. ABS is challenging (though its not the easiest to print with on anything), partly due to difficultly it heating the bed to 110C. TPU can be stringy, though I'm sure I just need to play with settings. More fundamentally, my particular one (and all clones are slightly different components) had worrying little protection over the mains connections, which is a very serious flaw. Obviously, I've now printed a cover. People grumble the bed levelling is tedious, but I don't find it especially so. I also print on glass which once in a while I paint in PVA. Other people use hairspray (hence the can of Tesco hairspray on my top shelf), PrittStick and all sorts of other things to get bed adhesion.
On the upside, being a kit, you understand exactly how it works, and understand when something aint right. The other upside is its only £100 or so, and unlike, say, the XYZ ones, uses bog standard filament. I usually get my filament from the Chinese boys toys outlet Hobbyking, and 1Kg of PLA is around £10-13.
