Its so nice to work on a new machine rather than my mom's 50 year old one. Solidly made, love the automatic needle threader. Perfect for me - who enjoys making basic pillow cases and curtains and for mending projects.

I have used a few different machines over the years and Singer has been my favorite brand! Then I got the Heavy Duty 4423... I love how I can push the pedal all the way down and it doesn't start bouncing around! I have had this machine for a couple of months now and I have nothing negative to say about it! This is a machine that I would definitely buy again!

The first time I used this machine it stopped working. I push the pedal and it revs but nothing happens.

I really like the Singer Model 4423 because it works the way I want and has handled all fabrics I have worked with thus far. Due to weight loss, I am altering many articles of clothing, and am impressed with the consistent quality of the sewing. Some history: This is my second Singer: the one I purchased in ~1972 had a chronic problem of messing up the thread in the bobbin area. Even my mother who could take a Singer apart and fix anything, could not fix this one. I finally only used it for quick jobs; and when really sewing used her ancient Singer--electric, but very basic, and sturdy and reliable as anything ever made by man. Probably circa 1940's model. And my grandmother had one earlier, also sturdy and reliable--the treadle version of I do not know what date. Neither of them EVER had a problem with a Singer. However, there are a few things that I do not like about this purchase: First, the needle threader gizmo is a total waste of time for me. It takes me 6+ attempts to make it work and repeated re-threading of it, while I can generally thread the needle the "old-fashioned way" in one or two tries. Second, the instructions are pictures that lack detail in key places, i.e. threading for bobbin winding pictures do not show where exactly on the tension thing the thread goes. I figured it out via trial and error. Third, the picture instructions for inserting the bobbin and pulling the thread through contains a flat-out wrong thing: if you close the bobbin cover as it shows before pulling the thread through to the top, then it does not work. Again trial and error worked and when I left the cover off, no more problem. Just put it on after thread is pulled through. I think Singer Co. needs to improve and include more detailed instructions with each machine (sewers are not illiterate, some word instructions would be very helpful). Good instructions would be in line with the great old standards the company once had.

Heavy Duty 4423

Singer is always dependable and a tough machine that lasts for years and years. I've been using Singers since I was in school, and for at least 54 years. I have 3 Singer Machines and the origional one I had in high school which back then was very basic and they all still work. I've tried other machines and they don't hold a candle to Singer.

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

I like this machine because it's simple. I needed a heavy duty machine to meet my sewing needs. This machine does the job. I would recommend this machine to everyone.
