Depends on whether you consider a Flair a “machine” I guess…
But yeah, I would agree you’re probably better off with a moka pot than most $150 or less espresso machines. For $150 budget to make strong coffee with milk type drinks, I’d recommend most folks get a moka pot and milk frother.
If it costs $150 it isn’t an espresso machine. I hope you missed a zero because the other point is pretty bad too in that context.
I have a 70€ espresso machine. It makes decent espresso, cheaper than paying 1€ at the bar.
Care to elaborate
