This one or this one (or something like)? Frankly, I don't think it's likely to be much good.
A Concertina Connection (as mentioned by another poster in this thread) Rochelle is likely your best option - hunt around till you find a 2nd-hand example in your price range.
I had a cheap Anglo 50 years ago. It was so bad it put me off the concertina for 40 years!!!
The button layout on an Anglo is (very cunningly) designed so that if you press (or pull) any
2/3 adjacent buttons, you are (almost) guaranteed to get a decent sounding chord, so
it's (arguably) 'easier' to play. Players of English would probably disagree - quite rightly - 'different strokes for different folks'...
I wouldn't put much faith in reviews. In my experience, it's quite common to see 'good' reviews for 'bad' products, but very rare to see 'bad' reviews for 'good' products. I'm a 'glass half-empty' man, and generally go with the 'bad' reviews.
Edit: Corrected to make it clear that a Rochelle is a CC instrument - moral - don't post before that all-important 1st cup of coffee!
