Customer Reviews for Singer - 4452 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine - Gray

I now really like my new 4452. It is smooth and quiet, and I think the foot pedal works great. However, it took a while to get to this point. You see, I needed to replace my 30+ year old Singer 6215, and decided to take a chance on the 4452. I don't really need it to be heavy duty, as I am only an recreational sewer of normal weight fabrics, but I was drawn to the sturdy metal construction after I was told my old machine's plastic parts could have failed at any time due to their age, and the repair bill would have cost more than my new machine did. I was a bit leery after reading the reviews of the 4452 having so many tension problems upon receipt, resulting in many returns. But I went ahead anyway and hoped that I would receive a machine free of the problem. I wasn't so lucky. My new machine's bobbin tension was too loose. Like many other reviewers, I tried everything I knew to do, but I couldn't get it to work right. I was determined that I was not going to the hassle of returning the machine and finding something else. And I wasn't going to go the regular route of contacting the company to be told there was nothing they could do, as a number of reviews noted. So I turned to the internet, and I found out how to fix the problem. I understand that doing what was called for now invalidates my warranty, but I honestly don't care about that at this point, and honestly, how often do the real problems pop up during a warranty time anyway. I have a machine that actually works now (and works quite well), and that is what matters. And it is a ridiculously easy fix - literally, a 1/4 turn of a screw. My question is: If the fix is so easy, why hasn't Singer addressed the problem in production, rather than having it go on for so long that so many reviews talk about the same problem? The only other thing I would say is that it would be preferable if they provided a printed manual, rather than just the online version. I doubt including a manual would add much to the production costs.

If someone is looking for a lighter color machine, this grey isn’t the color for them. My old Singer was a nice light color and easier on the eyes. I’m still trying to figure out the decorative stitches, but with time I’m sure that can be resolved. Other than that, it does sew very nice. I’m glad I purchased the Heavy Duty Extension Table for the extra room to work with.

Was looking for a simple, heavy duty, reliable sewing machine and this exceeds my expectations, this is the first time a sewing machine has worked right out of the box for me & I’ve owned 8 over the last 30 years. Shipping was also goofy quick, my only possible complaint could be that I received the shipping notification after I actually received the machine, which isn’t much of a complaint in my opinion.
