No matter what printer you get,
I recommend avoiding any printer designed to move the bed in the Y-Axis.
It's an old design prior to CoreXY and it isn't needed anymore, and has a lot of cons compared with no pros.
I am somewhat inclined to agree, but most budget entries usually have a moveable bed. It all comes down to OP's aspirations and budget.
Swap X and Y motors cables, rotate the printer 90 degrees and you've got a bed moving in X-direction. Problem solved 😎
One pro is that it’s mechanically much simpler and due to that, cheaper.
Bed slingers. Like the ender 3 series.
I've had my bed slinger for 3 years now and completely agree. CoreXY is the way to go.
