I haven’t used it very long, but it’s a sturdy machine. Seems like it’s going to be a dependable, well-oiled machine!

Se enreda el hilo en la parte de abajo donde va el hilo. Y se traba el hilo cuando empiezo a cocer en la parte de arriba también

Once you get over the hurdle of threading the bobbin and start sewing the machine functions well. it does lots of stitch types and sews through thick material and layers. (In the first month one #16 needle got bent.) The bobbin thread is difficult to feed through the guides and the thread is not easily picked up by the needle. Normal time to change the bobbin is about 30 minutes. (They make it look so easy on the videos but it's a mystery). It would be nice if the electric cords were longer.

Thank you for your review. We will share this with the Product Development team who continually looks for ways to improve.
Although i did some research before my purchase i was a bit apprehensive because of the reviews I read about uncontrolled speed. Which turned out to be a non issue. This machine has everything I need on it and i wanted one that was strictly mechanical and not computerized. The 4452 fits all i wanted. It is my dream machine.

This machine is excellent for slipcovers as it does not shake my card table when sewing fast or over heavy fabrics. HOWEVER, it doesn't make adequate buttonholes. The instructions are poor, both in the manual and online YouTubes. More importantly, there is a design flaw in the push bar that descends from the body of the machine as well as in the buttonhole foot attachment. First, I had to reset the device by dialing back to the straight stitch to the buttonhole stitch for each new buttonhole. Second, I had to hold the push bar back when starting or the machine would not advance to the second position. Third, I had to then let the push bar go, or the second position continued indefinitely. Fourth, if I pushed and let go at precisely the right times, the completed buttonhole was too small for the button positioned on the buttonhole foot. Fifth, if the buttonhole foot is extended out to its maximum position (only about an inch), the completed buttonhole is still inadequate for a 3/4 inch button to pass through easily. So don't buy this machine if you are planning to make clothes with buttonholes.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
