Singer Heavy Duty 4423 REVIEW

I recently was given this machine as a gift. My family has always used Singer Machines so I was happy to see the name I have always known. When I setup my machine I put it through its paces right off the bat with sewing some denim fabric. I have used other machines and this has always been my go to fabric to test the machine's limits. In the past other machines have not met the standard and have not been able to perform as I would expect. This machine passed with flying colors. I has handled everything I have thrown at it without any problems and I can say Singer without a doubt is still top of line in quality and ease of use when it comes to their products. I am very satisfied with my machine and will always continue to use Singer as my first choice.
I really enjoy using this machine. The only problem I've had is finding a replacement for the automatic needle threader that I caused to break due to my lack of knowledge. It has lived up to it's name and I will recommend this to anyone
We bought two of these machines 8/3/13 as gifts from HSN. One has had the LED light fail. I have tried unsuccessfully to find a replacement LED, by phone, email, and web for over 4 months. Finally someone found the 'part #' BUT it's not available. WHAT???? The machine is not 2 years old!!1
I purposely purchased a Singer and went to a Heavy Duty since I sew denim. From the first this machine has been a big disappointment. The easy threader broke, and I bought a new one. Then the zipper foot won't allow me to sew on both sides, just one or needle hits the foot. Moving needle position doesn't work. The Singer warrenty providers are over an hour of travel due to the very large city I live in. Not worth it. So, I won't buy Singer again, unless I go with a very high end machine. These less costly products are not worth the price. I've paid more in repairs than the machine cost.
I unpacked the 4423, set it up and went right to work. The sewing is very precise, easy to thread, load the bobbin. I have other machines that are all computerized, this machine give you the sewer the ability of manually controlling all aspects of the machine. I have really enjoyed sitting and learning all the different stitches, needle positions, that this machine can do. I was looking for a non-computerized machine and this really has lived up to what it says it can do. I put 12 layers of heavy denim together and used a denim needle with yellow jean thread and it just breezed right through it no problem. I also used a VERY delicate fabric and the tenderness and ease and stitching was just as perfect as the heavy material. I really give this machine 5 stars because it is truly and fun and well built and accurate machine.
This machine replaced a Koyo I had for 30 years. I couldn't be happier with my new Singer machine. I've been able to use most of the features, even the buttonhole maker. I really like the fact that it's heavy duty since I do sew denim projects.
