What kind of piano is suitable for beginners?

What should be considered for piano beginner when they choose a piano?

In my view, first it should be relatively cheap. As beginner we might be unfamiliar with piano, thus the risk of breaking down is higher due to unreasonable operation. Under such circumstance, it’s rational to choose cheap ones to start with.

Secondly, it should be portable. As beginner, we need more practices to gain mastery. A portable one would support you in both time and space.

There is one type of piano which possess these two characters: portable digital piano.

It's equipped with 88 heavy hammer keyboard and French Dream Sound Source which make it very close to a modern piano. Yet it’s price is under USD200.
