I still use and recommend the Orion 100mm tabletop dob. Its a red aluminium tube and comes with 10 and 20mm eyepieces of good clarity. Out of the box it gives damn good viewing. Small and simple, no bells and whistles. For its price it punches above its weight and its eyepieces really surprised me how good they are. No extras required to get good views, this is one scope that does actually work without extra expenses. Not the best scope on the planet of course but not one that drives people screaming away from astronomy in a hurry either. Clear crisp views of the planets are easy, as are moons of jupiter/saturn. Its the first scope I saw Neptune through.
