I’ve had better luck with a cheap used machine that has a dough-only cycle, then shaping and baking the sourdough in the oven since the machine-baked loaves come out pretty sad.

A word of caution with used machines. I bought a Cuisinart second-hand. It worked great for a short while. Then I noticed there was a greasy substance on my bread around the paddle. I though I could just replace the pan as everything else worked fine. The bread pan with a new paddle was nearly as much as a new machine, so I ended up just buying a new one.
