A lot of the cheaper ones are challenged by air leaks from bad seals / wide mfg tolerances. It means you end up constantly chasing temp as they can fluctuate wildly. There are ways of sealing things off to improve things, but there are limitations.
You will not get amazing results, but as a learning exercise it is certainly an inexpensive way to try things out.
