Check whether they mention heated bed. And if they do, check the max temperature. For example PETG prints the best at 85-90°C for the bed. For example the A1 sounds really great with all the specs, but the maximum bed temperature of 100°C immediately disqualifies it for me.
90-100°C is the sweet spot I'd go for a cheap printer. Otherwise you're basically down to only printing PLA.
Totally agree on making sure it has a heated bed. That's said in my experience 85-90 is a smoking hot bed for PETG. On my unenclosed i3 clone I would run 75. On my enclosed Voron I run 70.
I'm going off information from Prusa knowledge base:

This is fair. I ran into all kinds of quality issues with my bed that hot. The glass temperature of PETG is 85 C.
