The first thing you have to think about of course is your budget because otherwise, we’d all just pick the top-of-the-line gear but like all things in life, money is usually the primary constraint. There are definitely ways to get more out of your budget, like buying used from Craigslist or purchasing a floor model from a local appliance store. However, because we were under time constraints, I opted to just buy new since we already had a very generous budget of $15,000.
