May I ask why you wish to buy the best crushing machine if you don’t even know the purpose behind it? The purpose would be to save space when throwing away or recycling plastic bottles. Since 2 answers advertising a brand of bottle crusher were collapsed by Quora because they are blatant advertisements, may I suggest you build your own? Simply buy or obtain 2 pieces of lumber approx. 2″x6″x12″, a door hinge, and a cabinet handle, join the lumber with the door hinge at one end of the 12″ length, and the handle near the other end, place a plastic bottle between the 2 pieces, and drop or push the pieces together, lift back up with the handle. Repeat for each plastic bottle. BONUS. Works for aluminum cans as well.
