My experience with cheaper machines has been that they do not have the pressure or temperature stability to produce a consistently good shot of espresso.
My old inexpensive Saeco could be manipulated in such a way that you could pull a shot with ok crema, but it required running the pump first for just a second, which pumped a little cold water in to the boiler and tricked the thermostat in to turning on the heater sooner.
