Love this sewing machine! It is just has heavy duty as advertised. I have already sewn jeans and seat belt material to make costumes and it makes such quick work of it all! You can buy countless feet for this machine to fit any need you want. My two complaints with this machine is the thread cutter needs to have a bigger opening or needs to be sloped more so the thread slides into the cutter easier. Two, when removing the bottom cover to have closer sewing area, you can't reach the whole way under the bottom which can be an issue for bulky material. If those two design flaws were fixed this would be an easy 10/5 stars!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am a professional seamstress and use this machine at the shop. It is a replacement for the commercial grade singer I had used for years. I am very happy with this machine, as I now have to take home only a few projects to use my personal industrial machine for, such as heavier leather and multiple layers of webbing. I believe this machine could manage some of that sort of thing as well. But I try not to stress out a lighter machine. I can say that it does jeans hems without a hiccup and leather like for gloves very well, and it also does very fine materials such as organdie and silk beautifully. I am sure I will get many years of use from this machine, running it as much as 9 hrs a day. For a household machine, I believe it would go better than ten years for an enthusiast, longer for a hobbyist.

Some features defective

My first experience with a Singer sewing machine to replace an old Brothers. This machine works for basic stitches, but when it comes to doing button holes and other fancy stitches, it will not work. I've tried every tutorial, every troubleshooting guide and recruited the help of an experienced friend; my machine will absolutely not do button holes. I occasionally hear clunks, thread breakages, and it jams in a way that requires disassembly of the machine. I've spent more time fixing jams than I have used the machine. Overall, I'm disappointed and will be sticking with other brands.

After using the same machine for over 40 years, it is going to take time to get acquainted with a new one! Old friends are hard to part with. So far, I am liking the new 4452 singer. I am not a casual seamstress, I am serious and tackle big projects, I was in the middle of a project when my old reliable machine became terminally ill. Guess what! The Heavy Duty 4452 popped up in my email! Thank you Singer for coming to my rescue.
