I mean, it’s a kitchen appliance that makes bread? Throw the ingredients in and turn it on, and you have bread, in like, 4 hours. I have a slightly nice one, because I found someone selling it used for 20 bucks when that model new is like 200, but I think the more basic ones can get a bit less than $100, so while I wouldn’t call them cheap, they’re not exactly unaffordable luxury for most people lucky enough to live in a developed country. They’re just not really worth it unless you plan on using it regularly (and eating a lot of bread, because homemade bread lacks the preservatives of store bought food I’ve found I get maybe 5 days with a loaf from it before there’s a risk of the bread going moldy)
