This machine is wonderful to use and powerful. I started with a Singer Simple and used it for years, the 4452 is so much more stable and powerful. I like that there was a walking foot, and a tool to help the foot move over large seams. Free iron was the cherry on top.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got a good deal with this sewing machine. It run smoothly and not too noisy. Good for beginners to try. Better than buy a cheaper one but get bad experience.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought my HD4452 in March of 2021. Worked great for a while. This machine has less than 15 hours on it, but quit functioning properly; skipped stitches, birds nest on bottom of stitch, etc. I'm using Singer needles, thread and bobbins. The tension is set properly. The bobbin works as it should, the needle doesn't always pick up the thread. Seems like timing, right? nope, I had to remove the plate to clear the birds nest and observed the "hook". Timing was spot on and picks up the thread without the plate, but mostly won't with the plate back on. OK, a product may have an issue, it happens, but here's what I discovered: The warranty only covers "mechanical" for 90 days. Singers web site shows a repair/warranty center in Southern California "Singer Sewing Center of Orange County", that relocated, dropped Singer from it's name, and no longer sells or advertises warranty services for Singer products. Singer Customer Care provided this response:
"Robert,
They are a small location and if everyone is with customers or working on machines, they do not get to the phones. Sometimes the voice mail gets full and you will get some unusual recording that it is no longer a working number. The location is still one of our warranty centers. I would encourage you to keep trying. They are closed on Mondays. I am sorry for the inconvenience you have experienced.
You will need to have your purchase receipt and fill out the attached form when taking your machine to be repaired.
Thank you for choosing Singer."
So keep trying a location that moved, dropped Singer from their name, stopped selling or advertising Singer products and services, and sells competitor products, and is too small or busy to help you anyway? Really?
Seems Singer is headed the way of Montgomery Wards, Sears, and a host of other companies no longer in business. Once the standard for sewing, my experience is the stanard of how NOT to provide Customer Care.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’m a beginner sewer and I needed a machine that was both easy to use and going to take me through my sewing journey. This machine fits the bill. I chose Singer because my mom always used Singer machines and it’s a name I can trust. Additionally, buying accessories is extremely easy!

Saw the negative reviews but still made purchase. Unfortunately the negative reviews are true. This HD machine is junk and a total waste of money. Foot pedal is junk, machine will not sew properly no matter what the adjustment Should have returned it, selling it because its pointless

I was given this machine as a christmas gift. Haven't been able to complete one sewing project since I got this machine. I am a skilled seamstress with 30 + years sewing experience. For a "heavy duty machine" it is very limited. Regrettable purchase.
