LOVE this machine! No computers, no learning curve from the Singer I had previously that lasted me 30 years. Works like a charm - sews evenly. Has plenty of stitches for various uses. I sew clothing and household dec and am starting to learn to quilt. I inherited a Bernina sewing/embroidery machine that I stored for 2 years; then my old Singer died so I decided to try it out; it was so difficult to learn to use and expensive to maintain that I decided to find a manual Singer, and am SO glad I did! Can't recommend this machine highly enough!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had it for about 3 years now and had to take it for repair twice already for the same problem, threads are looping on the under side of the fabric and there is a lot of thread remnants in the machine itself

I bought this machine when I started making period dress for re-enactors because the fabric is often very heavy. And I was sewing for grandsons. Boy's clothes are often thicker fabrics. It's been an ideal machine, sews denim and upholstery fabrics. Quick and easy to thread. I've owned 9 sewing machines in my life, have several now, but this is the one I use the most.

So disappointed in this machine. I bought this model full of hope but it failed after 3 months and again after 9 months. It was repaired under warranty both times but when it failed for the 3rd time it was replaced by the retailer. 2nd machine lasted a little longer and was repaired under warranty before failing again just after the warranty. I would not recommend this machine to anybody. So sad for the Singer name.

The sewing machine that I recently purchase was bought as a birthday gift to my girlfriend who's a seamstress, she hasn't started using it as of yet but I'm sure on her next job she will be using it.
Mediocre, far from Heavy duty. As an experienced seamstress, I find this machine extremely mediocre. First of all horizontal bobbins are the worse and not long-lasting. Other their internal metal case, the rest of the machine is made with cheap materials all plastic. The light is THE WORSE I have seen in my entire seeing life, there are internal main pieces that in any machine would be metal and are plastic in this one. It's very noisy even after oiling it and any machine comes with a hard case but this one came with a cheap fabric cover. The backstitch button is in a totally unpractical place and will advise being VERY gentle with the 2 wheels on the front (to change stitches and length) because I am sure they will break in a few months. My friend lends me her brand new for me to see if I would get it. Definitely no!And this is not a beginner's friendly machine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
