A beater is an inexpensive, sturdy item that is used daily until it fails, rather than kept carefully to preserve it for a longer time. Like shoes that you wear to work and destroy in a year compared to a nice pair that you keep for special occasions.
At least that's how I use it, english isn't my native language.
I would say your English usage is quite good.
