My first portable sewing machine was Elna that gave me decades of satisfactory services until it needed a major repair. For the same price of repair work, I bought a Brother machine, and for several decades replaced two of them. I switched to Singer hoping it would be more durable. It is definitely a faster and stronger machine but needs time to prove how long it could last. In the short time of using it, the most disturbing point is that the LED light is really very dim. I have to need an additional table light to perform my work. All Brother machines have a convenient needle position button that raise and lower the needle. This machine lacks this feature.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you so much for the 5 stars and for taking the time to write your review of the Singer Heavy Duty model 4452 sewing machine. We greatly appreciate you for sharing your experience with other shoppers.
I learned to sew in my childhood in the 50's, on an old Singer treadle, that was my grandmother's. I have owned a couple of major brands. This Singer heavy duty 4452 is to replace a machine I've used for 30 yrs. (competitive brand) I was surprised to find no reference to maintenance, but there are videos on youtube. The machine sounded 'stiff' and noisy so I did have to oil it right out of the box. Much better after oiling. Oiling and cleaning is essential to keep any machine running. I feel there should be a written manual and service manual included. I'm not happy with the whole 'plastic' thing. I'm sure it brought the cost down greatly, but i believe the quality that Singer always has stood for, has been hurt by this. Time will tell as they say. Actual sewing seems adequate and runs much smoother since oiling. All in all OK. Would I recommend? Yes, but with some reservations.

I bought this machine a few weeks ago for my 17 year old daughter. She loves it! She learned to sew on my higher-end Husqvarna machine, but she finds the computerized options confusing, so is enjoying the simplicity of this machine. For her needs, this is a great machine. She enjoys the high speed of the basic stitches (though the more complicated stitches are much slower). The stitch length (3mm for most stitches, 4.5 for the basic ones) was too short for me, but appears to be sufficient for her needs. I hope she can use this for many years to come.

This machine is great. I sew painted canvas' together and had tremendous difficulty until I bought this Heavy Duty. For a very reasonable price, I can now do professional stitching on art pieces from my small business. Get the 4452 which includes a walking foot. Only 2 wish list changes: 1. the length of cord on the foot pedal is too short 2. Increase the length of the machine body so there is more space to the right of the needle for fabric to move thru.
