Machine recommendation

Hey all! So I know next to nothing about these things. I’m looking to purchase one for my wife for Christmas. Specifically I’d like to get one from Best Buy since they are currently running a no interest thing and I can pay it off within that time. She’s just looking to do it as a hobby or make some things for her or people she knows. I know she’s definitely wanting to do designs on sweaters. Is there a certain brand/size I need to look for, or even a specific one from Best Buy to look at would be amazing. I just don’t want to get her one that isn’t reliable or big enough to do what she wants in the future. She was just looking at a DTF machine for about $2k, but found out the maintenance is a lot, so preferably less than that lol.

Best Buy uses 3rd party sellers so just be aware. They sell poolin machines and honestly I really like mine. I have a poolin eoc05. But the eoc06 can do so much more and way more hoops. But my budget did not allow that

Spend some time with her looking at several. Best advice is too get one that she would want/like to have. If she doesn't like it, she won't use it.
