Totally OK. 0 problem after 400 hours printing with the Hi.
But the budget is 200$, that's why I was spotting the A1 mini.

Creality also want to lock you into the cloud. The soft is open source, but you won't really work on the soft...
I have an Ender 3 v1 and a Creality Hi.
Since the Hi is on the market, the e3v3 won't be maintained (Just have a look at the prices).
If you wan't something bigger than a A1 mini, can you add 50€ for an A1 or a Creality Hi ? You'll have both very good printers.
It's almost impossible to begin on a second-hand machine. It Will be a looong learning curve and you won't obtain anything satysfying.
Best printer under 200, the A1 mini : https://eu.store.bambulab.com/fr/products/a1-mini
This is the only fiable plug and play printer for this price.
If you wan't the whole 3dprinting learning program, you'd better find an Ender 3 v1 😉. Totally manual but very easy to tinker, a lot of tuto, big community to help.

I don't know the 5M.
But if you can translate french, the feedback are good. One of them is transforming it into a 5m pro :
