Bad switch locations for mounting in a cabinet

Overall, this is a nice machine that performs very well. My complaint is related to the overall design. The power switch and drop feed lever are both located below the level of the sewing surface. This won't matter for people who put their machine on a table, but for people who have their machine flush mounted in a cabinet or table, the two switches are inaccessable. I plugged the power cord into a remote-control outlet switch for ease of turning on and off. However, the drop feed lever can only be accessed by removing the machine from the cabinet.
This machine sews through mid weight denim with ease! My other old machine broke trying to sew through it. I should have just bought this one first. Also the stitching around rounded corners is easier to sew and looks better on this. People tried to upsell me and im glad I didn't listen and this one did the job and got the machine at huge sale price too.
I bought this machine three years ago and it does the job. The only exception is the 'Heavy Duty' part; the foot does not really raise higher than a regular machine and it struggles with two layers of denim. Out of curiosity I tried leather (2mm) and my machine sounded like it was dying. However, for everyday use, it is a great machine.
No where close to “heavy duty”. Has a tough time piercing 3 layers of canvas at start up. Jams frequently, locks up often in reverse too. Canvas slips on feet. Bought because it said heavy duty but I’m returning because it is not.

I have been looking forward to this product for some time. My first (personally) Singer sewing machine was given to me in 1967. Before that I had been sewing with my Mother's old Singer (she didn't know how to sew). I have been sewing since I was 10 years old; my next Singer came in 1988 when I was 41. This one is a treat, except that my needle threader doesn't work. But that's not why I bought it so that's okay.
I recommend this machine! Strong (think denim), plenty of features. Self-buttonholer works perfectly. This is my second Singer. While my older one works fine, I just needed something more capable for tge heavier fabrics.
