start by looking at all the major manufacturers' websites.
you won't find prices there, but you will get an idea of all the features available.
you will also need to set your price limit.
then look around at online dealers - including amazon and the big-box department stores.
that will give you some idea of how much you will need to spend in order to get as many of the desired features as will fit into your budget.
if there are dealers within a reasonable drive i recommend you check them out, too.
walk out if anybody tries to pressure you into buying that day.
walk out if the sales rep talks trash about any of the brands they don't sell.
walk out if they won't let you sit down to test the machine(s) that interest you.
there are many very good brands on the market, so neither brand is an absolute best for everybody.
but if you take your time, you will find the one that's best for
you.
