The "best 3d printer" is the one that suits your needs and constraints, so you have to elaborate a bit if you want us to be able to point you in the right direction.

Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.

If you are just learning about 3d printers, and are just looking to explore and experiment with the technology a decent inexpensive DIY kit is a great way to get your feet wet, but as stated above you haven't really given enough information to provide a solid recommendation. Even then, you're likely to get 10 different answers.

Buy cheap...buy twice.
That was my experience with 3D printers, too.
You can make some decent looking parts with the cheap ones, but you probably have to start the same print three times until it survives the 1st layer.
But when you've seen what is possible, you want more. ( speed, quality, comfort, reliability, a.s.o.)

Buy what you can afford. A lot of people will tell you not to buy cheap, but those people can afford not to.

short list

If you just want to print.

Genune Prusa Mk3
Anything from lulzbot
ultimaker

Anything cheaper is a toy and going to need a lot of fussing about, anything dearer is overpriced and probably aimed at commercial users.
