What's a good 3D printer for a beginner?

I'm looking to buy my first 3D printer in a few weeks. I'm somewhat technical and willing to hack a bit, but don't have a ton of time to build or maintain something from scratch.
I realize a lot depends on money, but... I'm mostly just looking for a good product.
I'll be making thingiverse type stuff with it.

I've been printing with a MakerGear M2 for over a year now and have a rock solid reliable machine. In that year i've had to replace is the hotend once but thats only because I didn't want to bother cleaning it. I've had to many jobs here on makexyz to have any lesser of a machine. I can slice the model and walk away. I don't even bother watching the machine even at the begining. Just hit print a few hours later the part is done. The M2 is also priced right in the middle of many other printers out there.
This is my opinion, check the M2 out for youself.
