First sewing machine
I've had this machine for about a month now and to be fair, I know that's still too soon to really debate how this machine performs especially considering that it's my first one ever. The only times it's given me issues (twice so far) is that I didn't properly load the bobbin and it all got stuck at the bottom of the machine but it was an easy fix after looking up some videos. I also bent a needle after 5 projects (idk how often I should be changing it, some people say after you've been using it for 8 hours idk how accurate that is either). Other than that, I still really like my machine plus I did get it slightly discounted from this site when they had a sale a couple months ago.

Do not recommend for beginners
I've been working with this machine for a year now. I bought as a simple straight stitch backup whole my other machines were being serviced. I do not recommend this machine for beginners for these reasons. -Lightweight, even though it says heavy duty, it's a very lightweight machine and u less you have it affixed or a non slip grip mat under it will move with anything remotely large. -the upper Looper is constantly coming undone even if you have it all perfect before beginning depending on what you are sewing how fast you sew or just an odd day that stupid upper Looper isn't quite right and consistently comes undone 3. Should be cleaned and oiled after every project or it will start to make noise and skip stitches. If you use the cutter st the side of the machine after sewing your seam it will NOT be long enough for it to not come out of the needle the next seam you try to sew, this is most aggravating and doesn't make sense. I have been sewing for over 35 years I have worked with everything from a Husqvarna to a Janome to a baby lock to a brother to Industrial machines you name it I have used it and this is by far the most frustrating machine I have ever worked on now granted is a portion of the price of what I usually pay for machines I will give it that but for a seasoned seamstress it has too many quirks and if you are showing 8 hours a day like I am it's better to just keep it as an absolute must have backup and that is it for when your other machines are down I do not recommend this machine at all especially for beginner and I've heard this from many many seasons designers seamstresses people that work on machines all day we are all having the same issue with it

Bobbin winder issues from the start
The rewind bobbin option didn’t work and I had to take the stupid thing apart and clean off the litter and then oil it. It finally worked with some tinkering.

Love this machine!
I purchased this machine to make crafts. It has not disappointed. Make sure you take out the bobbin case and clean under it. Thread trends to pop out of its pathway and you will have to rip them out to redo, but i am on top of that. :) otherwise, love it so much I purchased 2 of these machines!

Overall, okay but not great
The first version i received was assembled incorrectly: the plastic body had 2 exposed tabs and did not fit together. The bobbin winder was misaligned and did not work. The needle was too far off adjustment to align it with the bobbin hole, even when taking the cover off and adjusting. The second version was functional but required adjustments and the tensioner seems to stray frequently. The lift arm mechanism in the thread path is not a smooth piece of metal which causes snags with fine threads.

its ok
its ok - a good starter machine but NOT heavy duty despite the name. fed a few layers of fabric and the needle broke twice.... isn't able to handle heavy duty materials like the name. its a good sewing machine for everyday basics but if you want something more heavy duty opt for a different machine
