Not quite so heavy duty

The first machine I received sewed about 5 straight seams and then the feed dogs went down and wouldn't come up. I called tech support and they walked me through. We got the dogs up but she mentioned that they had to be brought up by hand because the machine wasn't strong enough to just bring them up by themselves. That didn't sound good to me. However, even after all the work, it was decided that the machine was faulty and was returned and replaced. That process was good and prompt and so far the 2nd machine is working well. I've bound 2 quilts with it and have had no problem. The automatic needle threader seems to be more of a pain than a help, however. Most of the time I just thread it manually.

i had the machine for less than a year and it worked through at least 8 projects... then the reverse button got stuck and it took 4 phone calls to fix and then while in the middle of a project it would not sew forward or backward. it continously got stuck i changed the thread, bobbin and needles and no luck... and i take to my repair man and he showed me 5 other machines with the same problems and it continues to occur... heavy duty seems to be a lie.. im very disappointed...

For the most part these are wonderful machines. I had purchased 6 for the sewing room at work. Three had to be returned to the store for various reasons. On two of them, the needle threaders didn't work. On the other one, the needle position was incorrect. It was too set too far forward and the needle was hitting the presser foot as it sewed and broke every needle until we figured out what the problem was. Of the remaining machines, two can no longer use the automatic needle threaders. For some reason they just don't work any more. I feel the "free-arm" for cuffs or other circular projects is too wide and doesn't accommodate use for smaller sized garments. The sewing bed is a bit shallow.

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.

I love my singerI 4423. I am so happy with this sewing machine. I’ve had it for 4 months and I am pleased with this purchase. It’s definitely heavy duty. It’s not noisy and it can handle anything. I sew dog dresses and girls toddler dresses and this machine makes sewing a smooth experience. I’ve even sewn leather on this machine. I recommend the singer 4423.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have 3 other machines all very expensive. This one is simple and for straight up sewing this is the best. Just open the box, plug it in and sew!! It is well made and heavy duty. Snap on presser feet that are inexpensive work great. Very happy with it is machine!!
