You don't really need a machine for SVG files. You can cut them out by hand. If you enjoy hand cutting. I know some just read that and said "NO WAY!"
If you enjoy hand cutting you can download Inkscape for free:
Inkscape. Draw Freely.. Open the SVG file in Inkscape, print out the SVG and now you have a cutting file. You can follow the SVG tutorials for how to make and cut cutting files. There are a lot out there.
If you prefer a machine there are a lot of good choices on the market. PaperThreads has a comprehensive list of machines that cut SVG's:

I have a Silhouette SD. I use Inkscape and Silhouette Studio for my SVG's with the Silhouette. I own a BossKut Gazelle that I use MTC with.
My best advice for buying a die cutter is buy one where the software already has SVG import function. For example Gazelle- Funtime, KNK Zing- MTC. A lot of times to get SVG import you have to buy a separate software package. That can be intimidating for a new die cutter user.
Don't be pressured into buying a machine because there is a huge fan following for it. Buy a machine that fits your needs. Buying a die cutter is like buying a car or sewing machine. You need one that fits your personality.
Hope that helps.
